  Cc: Hansjoerg Lipp

The following patch is based on 2.6.20-rc6-mm3, and depends on the
patches consolidate-line-discipline-number-definitions-v2*.patch in
the -mm tree. Please consider for the 2.6.21 queue.

This adds the line discipline based driver for the Gigaset M101
wireless RS232 adapter. It also improves the documentation a bit.

      To get the device working, you have to load the proper kernel module. You
      can do this using
          modprobe modulename
-     where modulename is usb_gigaset (M105) or bas_gigaset (direct USB
-     connection to the base).
+     where modulename is ser_gigaset (M101), usb_gigaset (M105), or
+     bas_gigaset (direct USB connection to the base).
+
+     The module ser_gigaset provides a serial line discipline N_GIGASET_M101
+     which drives the device through the regular serial line driver. To use it,
+     run the Gigaset M101 daemon "gigasetm101d" (also available from
+     http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/) with the device file of the
+     RS232 port to the M101 as an argument, for example:
+	 gigasetm101d /dev/ttyS1
+     This will open the device file, set its line discipline to N_GIGASET_M101,
+     and then sleep in the background, keeping the device open so that the
+     line discipline remains active. To deactivate it, kill the daemon, for
+     example with
+	 killall gigasetm101d
+     before disconnecting the device.
 
 2.2. Device nodes for user space programs
      ------------------------------------
      The device can be accessed from user space (eg. by the user space tools
      mentioned in 1.2.) through the device nodes:
 
+     - /dev/ttyGS0 for M101 (RS232 data boxes)
      - /dev/ttyGU0 for M105 (USB data boxes)
      - /dev/ttyGB0 for the base driver (direct USB connection)

      You can also use /sys/class/tty/ttyGxy/cidmode for changing the CID mode
      setting (ttyGxy is ttyGU0 or ttyGB0).
 
+2.6. M105 Undocumented USB Requests
+     ------------------------------
+
+     The Gigaset M105 USB data box understands a couple of useful, but
+     undocumented USB commands. These requests are not used in normal
+     operation (for wireless access to the base), but are needed for access
+     to the M105's own configuration mode (registration to the base, baudrate
+     and line format settings, device status queries) via the gigacontr
+     utility. Their use is disabled in the driver by default for safety
+     reasons but can be enabled by setting the kernel configuration option
+     "Support for undocumented USB requests" (GIGASET_UNDOCREQ) to "Y" and
+     recompiling.

Would the use of list_heads simplify things here?  Or are we dealing with a

Does tasklet kill() wait for the tasklet to stop running on a different
CPU?  I thing so, but it was written in the days before we commented code.

Does this actually use the semaphore's counting feature?  If not, can we

Perhaps the (fairly revolting) circ_buf.h can be used for this stuff.

Oh come on people.  Don't provide an empty function because the kernel
is complaining that you don't provide a release function.  Yes it will
shut the kernel up but did you ever think _why_ the kernel was
complaining?  Did you think it did it just for fun?

Think people, think...

You need to free your memory here, don't just provide an empty function,
that shows the driver is broken.

thanks,

Actually, I did. Just guess how that FIXME came to be.
Hint: the kernel shuts up just as well without it.

No, that was not among the explanations I considered. Although,
come to think of it ... nah, that would really be too weird.

Ahem.

Call me silly and incapable of thinking, but to me it's far from
clear _what_ memory I am supposed to free there. Certainly neither
memory I will still be needing after platform_device_unregister()
nor memory that's being taken care of elsewhere. Between the two,
in my case there's nothing left, so the release function is empty.
If that shows my driver is broken, please explain in what way.

Thanks,
Tilman

If an object file is linked into more than one module (like
asyncdata.o which is linked into both ser_gigaset and usb_gigaset)
then Kbuild compiles it only once but cannot decide which of the
module names to put into KBUILD_MODNAME, so it takes the easy way
out and doesn't define KBUILD_MODNAME at all. I'm not sure if
that qualifies as a kbuild bug. I'd rather call it a limitation.

It hardly matters, as it isn't propagated anywhere. -1 would
work just as well.

Theoretically no, but this is called from a tasklet and I have
already traced a bug which made one of these disappear. Not
having the kernel crash completely in such an event considerably
helps debugging.

Documentation/tty.txt says so. (Yes, I wrote that part myself,

the same.

It assures atomicity when reading the cs->cmdbuf pointer.

I don't think so. The operations in list.h do not keep track of
the total byte count, and adding that in a race-free way appears
non-trivial.

Its description in LDD3 ch. 7 seems to imply that it does.

I stole that code from the PPP line discipline. It is to assure all
other ldisc methods have completed before the close method proceeds.
This doesn't look like a case for a mutex to me, but I'm open to
suggestions if it's important to avoid a semaphore here.

It probably could, but IMHO readability would suffer rather than improve.

I think it's bogus.  If the quantity being copied here is more than 32-bits
then yes, a lock is appropriate.  But if it's a single word then it's
unlikely that the locking does anything useful.  Or there might be a bug
here.

Maintaining a byte count isn't related to maintaining a list.

If a sleeping lock is being used as a mutex, please use a mutex.  We prefer
that semaphores only be used in those situations where their counting
feature is being used.

Reasons: a) mutexes have better runtime debugging support and b) Ingo had
some plans to reimplement semaphores in an arch-neutral way and for some
reason reducing the number of callers would help that.  I forget what the
reason was, actually.

How about kernel/kfifo.c?

It's a pointer. Are reads and writes of pointer sized objects
guaranteed to be atomic on every platform? If so, I'll happily
omit the locking.

Sure. But your question was whether the list.h operations would
simplify this code. AFAICS it wouldn't, because the necessity
of maintaining the byte count would complicate a list.h based
solution beyond the current one. Also, this is part of the
interface with the components of the Gigaset driver which are
already part of the kernel. Changing this to a list_head now
would require significant changes in those other parts, too.

That would indeed fit the bill. But again, this code matches
parts of drivers/isdn/gigaset which are already in the kernel,
and changing it here would require significant corresponding
changes in those other parts.

I'll gladly consider your last two propositions (list_head for
cs->lastcmdbuf and kfifo for cs->inbuf) for a future revision of
the entire set of drivers in drivers/isdn/gigaset, but it goes
way beyond the scope of the present patch, which merely aims at
adding the missing M101 hardware driver.

Thanks,
Tilman

Yup - we make the same assumption about longs in various places.

It's a bit strange to read a pointer which can be changing at the
same time.  Because the local copy will no longer represent the
thing which it was just copied from.

It's not that bad. The only possible concurrent change is from NULL
to non-NULL. Fearing an inconsistent read in that event was too
paranoid apparently.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll prepare a new patch based on
them.

Sure, but only because I can't do a test for a function pointer that
points to a function that does nothing :(

The memory of the platform device itself needs to be freed here,
otherwise, to do it earlier would cause race conditions and oopses.
Look at how the other platform drivers do things.

thanks,

I don't do it earlier. I do it later. My platform_device structure
is part of my driver's device state structure which is freed
explicitly later after the call to platform_device_unregister().
Is that bad?

> Look at how the other platform drivers do things.

They do things differently from each other as well as from mine.
block/floppy.c, for example, just has a call to complete() there.

Anyway, in the latest version of my driver, its platform_device
release function finally does something, too: it frees
dev->platform_data and pdev->resource just in case something
might have materialized there. I hope that's ok.

Regards,
Tilman
