Subject: [PATCH net-next v10 2/2] net: wwan: mhi_wwan_ctrl: drive DTR/RTS via the IP_CTRL channel
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:35:00 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013183500.261229-3-peter.hunt@opengear.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013183500.261229-1-peter.hunt@opengear.com>

Qualcomm/Sierra SDX55/SDX65 modems withhold unsolicited AT result codes
(URCs such as +CREG, and the +DMI OMA-DM/LwM2M session indications) on
an AT port until the host asserts DTR. mhi_wwan_ctrl exposed the AT
(DUN) ports but had no way to signal DTR, so URCs never reached
userspace.

Carry the host serial-control lines to the modem over the dedicated
IP_CTRL MHI channel, which this module now also binds. IP_CTRL uses a
separate mhi_driver with its own callbacks so the AT/QMI/MBIM data path
is untouched; the control-channel device for each MHI controller is
tracked in a small registry so an AT port drives the IP_CTRL channel of
its own modem (multiple modems are supported).

The IP_CTRL channel has to be declared in the controller's channel config
for this driver to bind. For the Sierra EM919x/EM929x this is done by
commit 83c29a55b89e ("bus: mhi: host: pci_generic: Add IP_CTRL channel
for Sierra EM919x/EM929x") in the MHI tree. On controllers that do not
declare IP_CTRL the driver does not bind and ->dtr_rts is a no-op.

The wwan core, with "net: wwan: core: propagate modem control signals to
port drivers", raises DTR/RTS on first open and drops them on last close
(if HUPCL is set) for any AT port whose driver implements ->dtr_rts, so
no open/close handling is needed here. The new ->dtr_rts op lets
userspace assert or de-assert them via TIOCMSET/TIOCMBIC/TIOCMBIS.
Received device->host serial state messages are silently discarded; a
single recycled sink buffer keeps the IP_CTRL DL ring live so the
modem's transmit path does not stall.

->dtr_rts is void, following the tty_port_operations model it is
modelled on. It records the requested state and schedules a per-port
work item that sends the latest state to the modem, so a burst of
changes is coalesced into one message and cannot fill the IP_CTRL UL
ring. If a send fails because the ring is full or memory is short, the
work retries shortly with whatever state is latest by then, so the modem
ends up with the final state that was requested. The DL sink buffer is
requeued from a work item, which retries a transient -ENOMEM so the DL
ring does not stay empty, and which remove() disables before tearing
down the channel.

v10: Send DTR/RTS changes from a per-port work item that coalesces
    bursts and retries a send that fails with -EAGAIN (UL ring full) or
    -ENOMEM, so the modem always ends up with the final state. Testing
    v9 showed that rapid toggling could fill the IP_CTRL UL ring and
    drop updates (Sashiko review of v9). Loic's Reviewed-by is dropped
    as the send path changed
v9: Requeue the DL sink buffer only from the refill work and disable it
    with disable_delayed_work_sync() before mhi_unprepare_from_transfer()
    in remove(), so no requeue can race with channel teardown (Loic
    Poulain, Sashiko review of v7). Leave unpreparing to mhi_probe() when
    probe fails. Name the wwan core commit instead of "patch 1"
v8: No changes
v7: Retry a failed DL sink buffer requeue from a delayed work item on
    -ENOMEM, and log other failures. Note the dependency on the IP_CTRL
    channel entry in pci_generic, now in the MHI tree. Both from the
    Sashiko review of v6
v6: Rebase onto net-next. Allocate the IP_CTRL DL sink buffer separately
    instead of embedding it in struct mhi_wwan_dtr, so DMA cache
    maintenance on non-coherent platforms cannot touch neighbouring fields.
    Do not requeue the sink buffer from the DL callback when the transfer
    completes with an error (e.g. -ENOTCONN during channel teardown)
v5: Implement ->dtr_rts(port, mdmbits) and drive DTR and RTS
    independently. Pre-queue an RX sink buffer in probe and requeue it in
    the DL callback so the IP_CTRL DL ring does not run empty and stall
    the modem's transmit path
v4: Add dev_dbg when IP_CTRL channel is not enumerated for this controller
    and when mhi_queue_buf fails, to aid diagnosis of the "URCs missing"
    case on controllers that do not declare IP_CTRL
v3: Remove is_at_port, implement ->dtr_rts instead of ->tiocmset,
    open/close DTR raise/drop handled by wwan core (Loic Poulain)
