Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 0/3] net: wwan: support DTR/RTS on AT ports via MHI IP_CTRL
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 06:17:02 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816121705.858013-1-peter.hunt@opengear.com> (raw)

Qualcomm/Sierra SDX55/SDX65 modems (e.g. EM9291) withhold unsolicited AT
result codes until the host asserts DTR.  The in-tree mhi_wwan_ctrl driver
exposed AT ports but never signalled DTR, so URCs never reached userspace.

Patch 1 extends the wwan core with an optional ->dtr_rts(port, on) port
op, mirroring tty_port_operations.dtr_rts.  The TIOCM bitmask state is
tracked entirely in the wwan core; drivers receive only a simple boolean
assert/de-assert signal reflecting the DTR line.  The core raises DTR/RTS
on first open of any AT port whose driver implements ->dtr_rts and drops
them on last close, mirroring TTY semantics.  at_data.mdmbits is
serialised under data_lock; the ->dtr_rts call is made after releasing
data_lock and re-acquiring ops_lock so that it is serialised against port
removal.

Patch 2 enables the IP_CTRL MHI channel in the Sierra PCI table so that
the IP_CTRL driver (patch 3) is actually bound on those controllers.

Patch 3 adds a second mhi_driver that binds the IP_CTRL channel and
registers a ->dtr_rts op so that the wwan core's open/close DTR raise/drop
and userspace TIOCMSET calls both reach the modem.  The existing AT/QMI/MBIM
data path is untouched.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260807215042.2714442-1-peter.hunt@opengear.com/

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, preventing NULL deref and use-after-free
  on port removal
- Gate ioctl ->dtr_rts on WWAN_PORT_AT to match open/close behaviour
- Reduce TIOCM boolean to TIOCM_DTR only (DTR governs URC gating; RTS is
  tracked in mdmbits but driven together with DTR on open/close)
- Add dev_dbg when IP_CTRL is not enumerated and when mhi_queue_buf fails
- Reword forward reference in patch 2 commit message
