Subject: [PATCH 03/12] serial_core: Handle TIOC[GS]RS485 ioctls.

The following drivers: 8250_core, atmel_serial, max310x, mcf, omap-serial
and sci16is7xx implement code to handle RS485 ioctls.

In order to avoid code duplication, we implement a simple ioctl handler
on the serial_core layer.

This handler can be used by all the other drivers instead of duplicating
code.

Until this is the only RS485 ioctl handler, it will try first the
rs485_config callback and if it is not present it will call the driver
specific ioctl.

What is the locking between setting/getting/driver use of the config ?
This really needs a lock (termios sem I think is perhaps appropriate
given when the values are normally referenced).

Hello Alan

This patchset adds no extra locking features, if the drivers did not
implement a locking mechanism (and none did) there is chance of
conflict.

I can add a call to lock/unlock around uart_[gs]et_rs485_config. And
then, inside the drivers, use the lock when the structure is used.

I would prefer to add it as new patches in the patchset, so in case
this adds some bugs they can be bisected easily.

Thanks for your fast reply

Makes sense.

I tried implementing it with the sermios sem
((&(uart_port)->state->port.tty->termios_rwsem)), but some drivers
access the rs485 structure inside their irq handler. So I have see
options here

1) Protect the structure with uart_port->lock spinlock
2) Assume that an assignment is atomic on critical sections where I
cannot hold the rwsem.

I think 1) is more correct. Any issues that I continue in this
direction? Any better idea?


Thanks!

For uart #1 sounds right to me too.

Hello Alan

After almost one month with no other comments I am planning to resend
the patchset including the lock patch. May I add your Reviewed or
Acked by to any of the patches?

Thanks :)
