I'm currently working on a project where I'd like to have an omap board
running linux be a usb-to-uart converter (using f_acm), and I've ran
into an issue: there's no way for the application to know if the host
has issued a SetLineCoding requests (after which parity/baudrate should
be changed to match the host's request).
This series adds the support necessary to achieve that:
- Allowing tty drivers to supply a poll() function to notify the user of
driver-specific events.
- Propagating poll() and ioctl() from u_serial to the next layer (f_acm)
in this case.
- Let the user read the current line coding set by the host (via an
ioctl() call).
- Notify the user when there's a pending SetLineCoding request they
haven't read yet
The last patch also removes up the port_line_config field from
struct gserial. It made no sense to have there (and had a REVISIT
comment at every turn), it was never used and it was initialized with
invalid values.
Changes from v1:
- patch 5 was messed up, which made patch 6 also messed up. fixed both
of these.

If a tty driver wants to notify the user of some exceptional event,
such as a usb cdc acm device set_line_coding event, it needs a way to
modify the mask returned by poll() and possible also add wait queues.
In order to do that, we allow the driver to supply a poll() callback
of its own, which will be called in n_tty_poll().

GetLineCoding and SetLineCoding are a cdc-acm thing. It doesn't make
sense to have that in the generic u_serial layer. Moreso, f_acm has its
own port_line_coding in its own struct and it uses that, while the one
in struct gserial is set once upon initialization and then never used.
Also, the initialized never-used values were invalid, with bDataBits
and bCharFormat having each other's value.

Where is this ioctl being called? On the tty device? If so, which one?
The gadget driver's tty device node? Or somewhere else?
confused at the different levels here, sorry.

On an acm ttyGS* fd, yes.

You might be in any line discipline so you need to support that for each
ldisc that supports poll(). Also what do I do when I get an exception
event - what does it mean, how do I understand that, are you proposing a
standardized meaning ? Have you checked whether that conflicts with SuS
v3 or POSIX ? What will it do with existing code.
At the very least it probably has to be something you turn on, and you
might then want to model it on the pty/tty interface logic and extend
TIOCPKT a shade.

That would cut it, but TIOCPKT is too coupled with having a linked tty.
I could make acm behave like a pty (accept TIOCPKT and issue the
ctrl_status bits), but for that I need n_tty to know that packet does
not always mean a linked tty is present, and that in case it isn't we
take our own ctrl_status bits instead of the link's. I could write a
small (inline?) function to fetch the correct ctrl_status bits and put
that in n_tty. Does that make sense?

Or (maybe) better yet, I can do a hack and have the acm tty point to
itself as the link, which means n_tty doesn't have to change at all.
Any thoughts?

I think that makes sense, and I would do the job properly rather than do
a hack with tty->link. Those hacks in the long term never work out the
best approach.

Ok, so I'm doing that and everything is great until I got to actually
modifying tty->termios.
I need to modify it from interrupt context (the usb_request's
complete() callback), but modifying the termios requires a
rw_semaphore I can't take.
I could queue_work() to do it, but then I'd have to flush the work
from another non-sleepable context in acm_disconnect() (which runs
under a spinlock).
I can't change the semaphore to a spinlock because some drivers that
use it actually wanna sleep while holding it.
Any ideas?
