From: Daniel Starke <[email protected]>
n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010.
See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516
The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to
the newer 27.010 here. Chapters 5.4.6.3.4 and 5.1.8.1.3 describe the test
command which can be used to test the mux connection between both sides.
Currently, no algorithm is implemented to make use of this command. This
requires that each multiplexed upper layer protocol supervises the
underlying muxer connection to handle possible connection losses.
Introduce an ioctl commands and functions to optionally enable keep alive
handling via the test command as described in chapter 5.4.6.3.4. A single
incrementing octet is being used to distinguish between multiple retries.
Retry count and interval are taken from the general parameters N2 and T2.
Note that support for the test command is mandatory and already present in
the muxer implementation since the very first version.
Also note that the previous ioctl structure gsm_config cannot be extended
due to missing checks against zero of the field "unused".

You are not checking these fields, so this means any future use of them
will not be allowed (like the problem you have which required this new
structure.)
Please, always verify that the values here are 0, and if not, error out
with -EINVAL. That's the only way you can properly reserve this for
future use. The kernel documentation about "how to write an ioctl"
should describe all of this, right?

gsmld_ioctl() calls for GSMIOC_SETCONF_EXT the function gsm_config_ext()
which returns -EINVAL if any of the reserved fields is non-zero. Should
this also happen for GSMIOC_GETCONF_EXT?

Do the check before you save off the keep_alive variable?

Thank you for this hint!
