Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 1/3] net: wwan: core: propagate modem control signals to port drivers
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 08:49:25 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819224927.2274790-2-peter.hunt@opengear.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819224927.2274790-1-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. This mirrors TTY semantics (DTR is asserted on open) and means
individual drivers do not need to implement this themselves.

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() is also updated to call ->dtr_rts(port, 0) before
->stop() when a port is removed while still open, mirroring the last-close
de-assert path.

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)
