Subject: [PATCH net-next v8 1/2] net: wwan: core: propagate modem control signals to port drivers
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 12:22:37 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007182238.1154851-2-peter.hunt@opengear.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007182238.1154851-1-peter.hunt@opengear.com>
The WWAN character device emulates the TTY modem-control ioctls
(TIOCMGET/TIOCMSET/TIOCMBIC/TIOCMBIS) for AT and QCDM ports, but the
result is only stored in port->at_data.mdmbits and never reaches the port
driver. A driver therefore cannot act on the host raising or dropping
DTR/RTS, even though some modems depend on it (e.g. they withhold
unsolicited AT result codes until the host asserts DTR).
Add an optional ->dtr_rts(port, mdmbits) operation to struct wwan_port_ops.
Drivers that implement it receive the full TIOCM bitmask so they can assert
or de-assert DTR and RTS independently. The wwan core tracks the full TIOCM
bitmask in port->at_data.mdmbits and calls ->dtr_rts when it changes, gated
on WWAN_PORT_AT to match the open/close raise/drop behaviour.
Also raise DTR/RTS in wwan_port_op_start on first open of an AT port when
the driver implements ->dtr_rts, and drop them in wwan_port_op_stop on
last close if HUPCL is set in the port's termios. This mirrors TTY
semantics and means individual drivers do not need to implement this
themselves. As on a TTY, HUPCL defaults to on for AT ports, and userspace
can clear it with TCSETS to keep DTR asserted across close, for example so
that closing the port does not end a call on a modem set to AT&D1/AT&D2.
at_data.mdmbits is protected by data_lock. In the ioctl path the ->dtr_rts
call is deferred until ops_lock is held, where mdmbits is re-read under
data_lock, so the value passed to the driver always reflects the committed
bitmask under ops_lock and is serialised against concurrent ioctls and
against port removal (which nulls port->ops under ops_lock).
wwan_remove_port() also drops DTR/RTS before ->stop() when a port is
removed while still open, regardless of HUPCL since the device is going
away. The raise and drop paths go through two small helpers, which do
the AT port and ->dtr_rts checks and pass the driver the resulting
bitmask.

v8: Add wwan_port_raise_dtr_rts() as the counterpart of
wwan_port_drop_dtr_rts() and move the open-path handling there, move
the AT port and ->dtr_rts checks into both helpers, use
scoped_guard() for data_lock (Loic Poulain)
v7: Drop DTR/RTS on last close only if HUPCL is set, and default HUPCL on
for AT ports. Pass the masked mdmbits rather than 0 from
wwan_remove_port(), via a helper shared with the close path. Both
from the Sashiko review of v6
v6: Rebase onto net-next. Snapshot mdmbits under data_lock before calling
->dtr_rts from wwan_port_op_start()/wwan_port_op_stop(), rather than
reading it after data_lock has been released
v5: Change ->dtr_rts signature from bool to unsigned int mdmbits so DTR
and RTS can be driven independently; re-read mdmbits inside ops_lock
in the ioctl path to close a concurrent-ioctl ordering race; add
de-assert call to wwan_remove_port() for the hot-unplug case; update
kernel-doc to note the op is AT-only and describe the mdmbits argument
v4: Protect at_data.mdmbits in wwan_port_op_start/stop under data_lock;
release data_lock and acquire ops_lock with a NULL check before calling
->dtr_rts from the ioctl path; gate ioctl ->dtr_rts on WWAN_PORT_AT to
match open/close behaviour; reduce boolean to TIOCM_DTR only
v3: Replace ->tiocmget/->tiocmset with ->dtr_rts(port, bool on) modelled
on tty_port_operations.dtr_rts; raise/drop DTR/RTS in
wwan_port_op_start/stop rather than in the driver (Loic Poulain)
