It is not complete, any questions you have should be directed to +<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> + +The reference implementation is contained within amba-pl011.c. + + + +Low Level Serial Hardware Driver +-------------------------------- + +The low level serial hardware driver is responsible for supplying port +information (defined by uart_port) and a set of control methods (defined +by uart_ops) to the core serial driver. The low level driver is also +responsible for handling interrupts for the port, and providing any +console support. + + +Console Support +--------------- + +The serial core provides a few helper functions. This includes identifing +the correct port structure (via uart_get_console) and decoding command line +arguments (uart_parse_options). + +There is also a helper function (uart_console_write) which performs a +character by character write, translating newlines to CRLF sequences. +Driver writers are recommended to use this function rather than implementing +their own version. + + +Locking +------- + +It is the responsibility of the low level hardware driver to perform the +necessary locking using port->lock. There are some exceptions (which +are described in the uart_ops listing below.) + +There are two locks. A per-port spinlock, and an overall semaphore. + +From the core driver perspective, the port->lock locks the following +data:: + + port->mctrl + port->icount + port->state->xmit.head (circ_buf->head) + port->state->xmit.tail (circ_buf->tail) + +The low level driver is free to use this lock to provide any additional +locking. + +The port_sem semaphore is used to protect against ports being added/ +removed or reconfigured at inappropriate times. Since v2.6.27, this +semaphore has been the 'mutex' member of the tty_port struct, and +commonly referred to as the port mutex. + + +uart_ops +-------- + +The uart_ops structure is the main interface between serial_core and the +hardware specific driver. It contains all the methods to control the +hardware. + + tx_empty(port) + This function tests whether the transmitter fifo and shifter + for the port described by 'port' is empty.

This driver supports Intel x86 hardware platform. In order + to maintain compatibility, this version has also been properly tested with + RedHat, Mandrake, Fedora and S.u.S.E Linux. However, if compatibility problem + occurs, please contact Moxa at support@moxa.com.tw. + + In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this + version. They are: + + - msdiag + Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa + Smartio/Industio boards. + - msmon + Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals. + - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial + ports. + - io-irq.exe + Configuration program to setup ISA boards. Please note that + this program can only be executed under DOS. + + All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under + GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General + Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail. + + In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find latest driver at http://www.moxa.com/. + + This version of driver can be installed as Loadable Module (Module driver) + or built-in into kernel (Static driver). You may refer to following + installation procedure for suitable one. Before you install the driver, + please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual. + + We assume the user should be familiar with following documents. + + - Serial-HOWTO + - Kernel-HOWTO + +2. System Requirement +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + - Hardware platform: Intel x86 machine + - Kernel version: 2.4.x or 2.6.x + - gcc version 2.72 or later + - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination + +3. Installation +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +3.1 Hardware installation +========================= + + There are two types of buses, ISA and PCI, for Smartio/Industio + family multiport board. + +ISA board +--------- + + You'll have to configure CAP address, I/O address, Interrupt Vector + as well as IRQ before installing this driver. Please refer to hardware + installation procedure in User's Manual before proceed any further. + Please make sure the JP1 is open after the ISA board is set properly. + +PCI/UPCI board +-------------- + + You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid from IRQ conflict + with other ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation + procedure in User's Manual in advance. + +PCI IRQ Sharing +--------------- + + Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to + 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed + together on one system and they can share the same IRQ. + + +3.2 Driver files +================ + + The driver file may be obtained from ftp, CD-ROM or floppy disk. The + first step, anyway, is to copy driver file "mxser.tgz" into specified + directory. e.g. /moxa. The execute commands as below:: + + # cd / + # mkdir moxa + # cd /moxa + # tar xvf /dev/fd0 + +or:: + + # cd / + # mkdir moxa + # cd /moxa + # cp /mnt/cdrom/<driver directory>/mxser.tgz . + # tar xvfz mxser.tgz + + +3.3 Device naming convention +============================ + + You may find all the driver and utilities files in /moxa/mxser. + Following installation procedure depends on the model you'd like to + run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.4. + If static driver is required, please refer to 3.5. + +Dialin and callout port +----------------------- + + This driver remains traditional serial device properties. There are + two special file name for each serial port. One is dial-in port + which is named "ttyMxx". For callout port, the naming convention + is "cumxx". + +Device naming when more than 2 boards installed +----------------------------------------------- + + Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is + pre-defined as below. + + ============ =============== ============== + Board Num. Dial-in Port Callout port + 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7 cum0 - cum7 + 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15 cum8 - cum15 + 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23 cum16 - cum23 + 4th board ttyM24 - ttym31 cum24 - cum31 + ============ =============== ============== + +.. note:: + + Under Kernel 2.6 and upper, the cum Device is Obsolete. So use ttyM* + device instead. + +Board sequence +-------------- + + This driver will activate ISA boards according to the parameter set + in the driver. After all specified ISA board activated, PCI board + will be installed in the system automatically driven. + Therefore the board number is sorted by the CAP address of ISA boards. + For PCI boards, their sequence will be after ISA boards and C168H/PCI + has higher priority than C104H/PCI boards. + +3.4 Module driver configuration +=============================== + + Module driver is easiest way to install. If you prefer static driver + installation, please skip this paragraph. + + + ------------- Prepare to use the MOXA driver -------------------- + +3.4.1 Create tty device with correct major number +------------------------------------------------- + + Before using MOXA driver, your system must have the tty devices + which are created with driver's major number. We offer one shell + script "msmknod" to simplify the procedure. + This step is only needed to be executed once. But you still + need to do this procedure when: + + a. You change the driver's major number. Please refer the "3.7" + section. + b. Your total installed MOXA boards number is changed. Maybe you + add/delete one MOXA board. + c. You want to change the tty name. This needs to modify the + shell script "msmknod" + + The procedure is:: + + # cd /moxa/mxser/driver + # ./msmknod + + This shell script will require the major number for dial-in + device and callout device to create tty device. You also need + to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major + numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If + you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7" + for more detailed procedure. + Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device + naming. + +3.4.2 Build the MOXA driver and utilities +----------------------------------------- + + Before using the MOXA driver and utilities, you need compile the + all the source code. This step is only need to be executed once. + But you still re-compile the source code if you modify the source + code. For example, if you change the driver's major number (see + "3.7" section), then you need to do this step again. + + Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run + + # make clean; make install + + ..note:: + + For Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS3/ES3/WS3 & Fedora Core1: + # make clean; make installsp1 + + For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4/ES4/WS4: + # make clean; make installsp2 + + The driver files "mxser.o" and utilities will be properly compiled + and copied to system directories respectively. + +------------- Load MOXA driver-------------------- + +3.4.3 Load the MOXA driver +-------------------------- + + :: + + # modprobe mxser <argument> + + will activate the module driver. You may run "lsmod" to check + if "mxser" is activated. If the MOXA board is ISA board, the + <argument> is needed. Please refer to section "3.4.5" for more + information. + +------------- Load MOXA driver on boot -------------------- + +3.4.4 Load the mxser driver +--------------------------- + + + For the above description, you may manually execute + "modprobe mxser" to activate this driver and run + "rmmod mxser" to remove it. + + However, it's better to have a boot time configuration to + eliminate manual operation. Boot time configuration can be + achieved by rc file. We offer one "rc.mxser" file to simplify + the procedure under "moxa/mxser/driver". + + But if you use ISA board, please modify the "modprobe ..." command + to add the argument (see "3.4.5" section). After modifying the + rc.mxser, please try to execute "/moxa/mxser/driver/rc.mxser" + manually to make sure the modification is ok. If any error + encountered, please try to modify again. If the modification is + completed, follow the below step. + + Run following command for setting rc files:: + + # cd /moxa/mxser/driver + # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d + # cd /etc/rc.d + + Check "rc.serial" is existed or not. If "rc.serial" doesn't exist, + create it by vi, run "chmod 755 rc.serial" to change the permission. + + Add "/etc/rc.d/rc.mxser" in last line. + + Reboot and check if moxa.o activated by "lsmod" command. + +3.4.5. specify CAP address +-------------------------- + + If you'd like to drive Smartio/Industio ISA boards in the system, + you'll have to add parameter to specify CAP address of given + board while activating "mxser.o". The format for parameters are + as follows.:: + + modprobe mxser ioaddr=0x???,0x???,0x???,0x??? + | | | | + | | | +- 4th ISA board + | | +------ 3rd ISA board + | +------------ 2nd ISA board + +-------------------1st ISA board + +3.5 Static driver configuration for Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x +================================================================ + + Note: + To use static driver, you must install the linux kernel + source package. + +3.5.1 Backup the built-in driver in the kernel +---------------------------------------------- + + :: + + # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char + # mv mxser.c mxser.c.old + + For Red Hat 7.x user, you need to create link: + # cd /usr/src + # ln -s linux-2.4 linux + +3.5.2 Create link +----------------- + :: + + # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char + # ln -s /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c mxser.c + +3.5.3 Add CAP address list for ISA boards. +------------------------------------------ + + For PCI boards user, please skip this step. + + In module mode, the CAP address for ISA board is given by + parameter. In static driver configuration, you'll have to + assign it within driver's source code. If you will not + install any ISA boards, you may skip to next portion. + The instructions to modify driver source code are as + below. + + a. run:: + + # cd /moxa/mxser/driver + # vi mxser.c + + b. Find the array mxserBoardCAP[] as below:: + + static int mxserBoardCAP[] = {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}; + + c. Change the address within this array using vi. For + example, to driver 2 ISA boards with CAP address + 0x280 and 0x180 as 1st and 2nd board. Just to change + the source code as follows:: + + static int mxserBoardCAP[] = {0x280, 0x180, 0x00, 0x00}; + +3.5.4 Setup kernel configuration +-------------------------------- + + Configure the kernel:: + + # cd /usr/src/linux + # make menuconfig + + You will go into a menu-driven system. Please select [Character + devices][Non-standard serial port support], enable the [Moxa + SmartIO support] driver with "[*]" for built-in (not "[M]"), then + select [Exit] to exit this program. + +3.5.5 Rebuild kernel +-------------------- + + The following are for Linux kernel rebuilding, for your + reference only. + + For appropriate details, please refer to the Linux document: + + a. Run the following commands:: + + cd /usr/src/linux + make clean # take a few minutes + make dep # take a few minutes + make bzImage # take probably 10-20 minutes + make install # copy boot image to correct position + + f. Please make sure the boot kernel (vmlinuz) is in the + correct position. + g. If you use 'lilo' utility, you should check /etc/lilo.conf + 'image' item specified the path which is the 'vmlinuz' path, + or you will load wrong (or old) boot kernel image (vmlinuz). + After checking /etc/lilo.conf, please run "lilo". + + Note that if the result of "make bzImage" is ERROR, then you have to + go back to Linux configuration Setup. Type "make menuconfig" in + directory /usr/src/linux. + + +3.5.6 Make tty device and special file +-------------------------------------- + + :: + # cd /moxa/mxser/driver + # ./msmknod + +3.5.7 Make utility +------------------ + + :: + + # cd /moxa/mxser/utility + # make clean; make install + +3.5.8 Reboot +------------ + + + +3.6 Custom configuration +======================== + + Although this driver already provides you default configuration, you + still can change the device name and major number. The instruction to + change these parameters are shown as below. + +a. Change Device name + + If you'd like to use other device names instead of default naming + convention, all you have to do is to modify the internal code + within the shell script "msmknod". First, you have to open "msmknod" + by vi. Locate each line contains "ttyM" and "cum" and change them + to the device name you desired. "msmknod" creates the device names + you need next time executed. + +b. Change Major number + + If major number 30 and 35 had been occupied, you may have to select + 2 free major numbers for this driver. There are 3 steps to change + major numbers. + +3.6.1 Find free major numbers +----------------------------- + + In /proc/devices, you may find all the major numbers occupied + in the system. Please select 2 major numbers that are available. + e.g. 40, 45. + +3.6.2 Create special files +-------------------------- + + Run /moxa/mxser/driver/msmknod to create special files with + specified major numbers. + +3.6.3 Modify driver with new major number +----------------------------------------- + + Run vi to open /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c. Locate the line + contains "MXSERMAJOR". Change the content as below:: + + #define MXSERMAJOR 40 + #define MXSERCUMAJOR 45 + + 3.6.4 Run "make clean; make install" in /moxa/mxser/driver. + +3.7 Verify driver installation +============================== + + You may refer to /var/log/messages to check the latest status + log reported by this driver whenever it's activated. + +4. Utilities +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and + msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should + be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin. + + Before using these utilities, please load driver (refer 3.4 & 3.5) and + make sure you had run the "msmknod" utility. + +msdiag - Diagnostic +=================== + + This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio + board found by driver in the system. + +msmon - Port Monitoring +======================= + + This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports' + activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted + (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started. + + Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g. + the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring + is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <-> + (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER> + on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication + parameters, signal status, and input/output queue. + +msterm - Terminal Emulation +=========================== + + This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports, + especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple + application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the + port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a + dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation. + +5. Setserial +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below. + + ============== ========================================================= + uart set UART type(16450-->disable FIFO, 16550A-->enable FIFO) + close_delay set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that DTR + should be kept low while being closed. + closing_wait set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that the + serial port should wait for data to be drained while + being closed, before the receiver is disable. + spd_hi Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb. + spd_vhi Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb. + spd_shi Use 230.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb. + spd_warp Use 460.8kb when the application requests 38.4kb. + spd_normal Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb. + spd_cust Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the + application requests 38.4kb. + divisor This option set the custom division. + baud_base This option set the base baud rate. + ============== ========================================================= + +6.

These boards provide, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 +high-speed serial ports or modems. This driver supports up to a combination +of four RocketPort or RocketModems boards in one machine simultaneously. +This file assumes that you are using the RocketPort driver which is +integrated into the kernel sources. + +The driver can also be installed as an external module using the usual +"make;make install" routine. This external module driver, obtainable +from the Comtrol website listed below, is useful for updating the driver +or installing it into kernels which do not have the driver configured +into them. Installations instructions for the external module +are in the included README and HW_INSTALL files. + +RocketPort ISA and RocketModem II PCI boards currently are only supported by +this driver in module form. + +The RocketPort ISA board requires I/O ports to be configured by the DIP +switches on the board. See the section "ISA Rocketport Boards" below for +information on how to set the DIP switches. + +You pass the I/O port to the driver using the following module parameters: + +board1: + I/O port for the first ISA board +board2: + I/O port for the second ISA board +board3: + I/O port for the third ISA board +board4: + I/O port for the fourth ISA board + +There is a set of utilities and scripts provided with the external driver +(downloadable from http://www.comtrol.com) that ease the configuration and +setup of the ISA cards. + +The RocketModem II PCI boards require firmware to be loaded into the card +before it will function. The driver has only been tested as a module for this +board. + +Installation Procedures +----------------------- + +RocketPort/RocketModem PCI cards require no driver configuration, they are +automatically detected and configured. + +The RocketPort driver can be installed as a module (recommended) or built +into the kernel. This is selected, as for other drivers, through the `make config` +command from the root of the Linux source tree during the kernel build process. + +The RocketPort/RocketModem serial ports installed by this driver are assigned +device major number 46, and will be named /dev/ttyRx, where x is the port number +starting at zero (ex. /dev/ttyR0, /devttyR1, ...). If you have multiple cards +installed in the system, the mapping of port names to serial ports is displayed +in the system log at /var/log/messages. + +If installed as a module, the module must be loaded. This can be done +manually by entering "modprobe rocket". To have the module loaded automatically +upon system boot, edit a `/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf` file and add the line +"alias char-major-46 rocket". + +In order to use the ports, their device names (nodes) must be created with mknod. +This is only required once, the system will retain the names once created. To +create the RocketPort/RocketModem device names, use the command +"mknod /dev/ttyRx c 46 x" where x is the port number starting at zero. + +For example:: + + > mknod /dev/ttyR0 c 46 0 + > mknod /dev/ttyR1 c 46 1 + > mknod /dev/ttyR2 c 46 2 + +The Linux script MAKEDEV will create the first 16 ttyRx device names (nodes) +for you:: + + >/dev/MAKEDEV ttyR + +ISA Rocketport Boards +--------------------- + +You must assign and configure the I/O addresses used by the ISA Rocketport +card before installing and using it. This is done by setting a set of DIP +switches on the Rocketport board. + + +Setting the I/O address +----------------------- + +Before installing RocketPort(R) or RocketPort RA boards, you must find +a range of I/O addresses for it to use. The first RocketPort card +requires a 68-byte contiguous block of I/O addresses, starting at one +of the following: 0x100h, 0x140h, 0x180h, 0x200h, 0x240h, 0x280h, +0x300h, 0x340h, 0x380h. This I/O address must be reflected in the DIP +switches of *all* of the Rocketport cards. + +The second, third, and fourth RocketPort cards require a 64-byte +contiguous block of I/O addresses, starting at one of the following +I/O addresses: 0x100h, 0x140h, 0x180h, 0x1C0h, 0x200h, 0x240h, 0x280h, +0x2C0h, 0x300h, 0x340h, 0x380h, 0x3C0h. The I/O address used by the +second, third, and fourth Rocketport cards (if present) are set via +software control. The DIP switch settings for the I/O address must be +set to the value of the first Rocketport cards. + +In order to distinguish each of the card from the others, each card +must have a unique board ID set on the dip switches. The first +Rocketport board must be set with the DIP switches corresponding to +the first board, the second board must be set with the DIP switches +corresponding to the second board, etc. IMPORTANT: The board ID is +the only place where the DIP switch settings should differ between the +various Rocketport boards in a system. + +The I/O address range used by any of the RocketPort cards must not +conflict with any other cards in the system, including other +RocketPort cards. Below, you will find a list of commonly used I/O +address ranges which may be in use by other devices in your system. +On a Linux system, "cat /proc/ioports" will also be helpful in +identifying what I/O addresses are being used by devices on your +system. + +Remember, the FIRST RocketPort uses 68 I/O addresses. So, if you set it +for 0x100, it will occupy 0x100 to 0x143. This would mean that you +CAN NOT set the second, third or fourth board for address 0x140 since +the first 4 bytes of that range are used by the first board. You would +need to set the second, third, or fourth board to one of the next available +blocks such as 0x180. + +RocketPort and RocketPort RA SW1 Settings:: + + +-------------------------------+ + | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | + +-------+-------+---------------+ + | Unused| Card | I/O Port Block| + +-------------------------------+ + + DIP Switches DIP Switches + 7 8 6 5 + =================== =================== + On On UNUSED, MUST BE ON.

See errno. */ + } + + struct serial_rs485 rs485conf; + + /* Enable RS485 mode: */ + rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_ENABLED; + + /* Set logical level for RTS pin equal to 1 when sending: */ + rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND; + /* or, set logical level for RTS pin equal to 0 when sending: */ + rs485conf.flags &= ~(SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND); + + /* Set logical level for RTS pin equal to 1 after sending: */ + rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND; + /* or, set logical level for RTS pin equal to 0 after sending: */ + rs485conf.flags &= ~(SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND); + + /* Set rts delay before send, if needed: */ + rs485conf.delay_rts_before_send = ...; + + /* Set rts delay after send, if needed: */ + rs485conf.delay_rts_after_send = ...; + + /* Set this flag if you want to receive data even while sending data */ + rs485conf.flags |= SER_RS485_RX_DURING_TX; + + if (ioctl (fd, TIOCSRS485, &rs485conf) < 0) { + /* Error handling. See errno. */ + } + + /* Use read() and write() syscalls here... */ + + /* Close the device when finished: */ + if (close (fd) < 0) { + /* Error handling. See errno. */ + } + +5.

Beware all ye who read on. + + +Line Discipline +--------------- + +Line disciplines are registered with tty_register_ldisc() passing the +discipline number and the ldisc structure. At the point of registration the +discipline must be ready to use and it is possible it will get used before +the call returns success. If the call returns an error then it won't get +called. Do not re-use ldisc numbers as they are part of the userspace ABI +and writing over an existing ldisc will cause demons to eat your computer. +After the return the ldisc data has been copied so you may free your own +copy of the structure. You must not re-register over the top of the line +discipline even with the same data or your computer again will be eaten by +demons. + +In order to remove a line discipline call tty_unregister_ldisc(). +In ancient times this always worked. In modern times the function will +return -EBUSY if the ldisc is currently in use. Since the ldisc referencing +code manages the module counts this should not usually be a concern. + +Heed this warning: the reference count field of the registered copies of the +tty_ldisc structure in the ldisc table counts the number of lines using this +discipline. The reference count of the tty_ldisc structure within a tty +counts the number of active users of the ldisc at this instant. In effect it +counts the number of threads of execution within an ldisc method (plus those +about to enter and exit although this detail matters not). + +Line Discipline Methods +----------------------- + +TTY side interfaces +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +======================= ======================================================= +open() Called when the line discipline is attached to + the terminal. No other call into the line + discipline for this tty will occur until it + completes successfully. Should initialize any + state needed by the ldisc, and set receive_room + in the tty_struct to the maximum amount of data + the line discipline is willing to accept from the + driver with a single call to receive_buf(). + Returning an error will prevent the ldisc from + being attached. Can sleep. + +close() This is called on a terminal when the line + discipline is being unplugged. At the point of + execution no further users will enter the + ldisc code for this tty. Can sleep. + +hangup() Called when the tty line is hung up. + The line discipline should cease I/O to the tty. + No further calls into the ldisc code will occur. + The return value is ignored. Can sleep. + +read() (optional) A process requests reading data from + the line. Multiple read calls may occur in parallel + and the ldisc must deal with serialization issues. + If not defined, the process will receive an EIO + error. May sleep. + +write() (optional) A process requests writing data to the + line. Multiple write calls are serialized by the + tty layer for the ldisc. If not defined, the + process will receive an EIO error. May sleep. + +flush_buffer() (optional) May be called at any point between + open and close, and instructs the line discipline + to empty its input buffer. + +set_termios() (optional) Called on termios structure changes. + The caller passes the old termios data and the + current data is in the tty. Called under the + termios semaphore so allowed to sleep. Serialized + against itself only. + +poll() (optional) Check the status for the poll/select + calls. Multiple poll calls may occur in parallel. + May sleep. + +ioctl() (optional) Called when an ioctl is handed to the + tty layer that might be for the ldisc. Multiple + ioctl calls may occur in parallel. May sleep. + +compat_ioctl() (optional) Called when a 32 bit ioctl is handed + to the tty layer that might be for the ldisc. + Multiple ioctl calls may occur in parallel. + May sleep. +======================= ======================================================= + +Driver Side Interfaces +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +======================= ======================================================= +receive_buf() (optional) Called by the low-level driver to hand + a buffer of received bytes to the ldisc for + processing. The number of bytes is guaranteed not + to exceed the current value of tty->receive_room. + All bytes must be processed. + +receive_buf2() (optional) Called by the low-level driver to hand + a buffer of received bytes to the ldisc for + processing. Returns the number of bytes processed. + + If both receive_buf() and receive_buf2() are + defined, receive_buf2() should be preferred. + +write_wakeup() May be called at any point between open and close. + The TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP flag indicates if a call + is needed but always races versus calls. Thus the + ldisc must be careful about setting order and to + handle unexpected calls. Must not sleep. + + The driver is forbidden from calling this directly + from the ->write call from the ldisc as the ldisc + is permitted to call the driver write method from + this function. In such a situation defer it. + +dcd_change() Report to the tty line the current DCD pin status + changes and the relative timestamp. The timestamp + cannot be NULL. +======================= ======================================================= + + +Driver Access +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Line discipline methods can call the following methods of the underlying +hardware driver through the function pointers within the tty->driver +structure: + +======================= ======================================================= +write() Write a block of characters to the tty device. + Returns the number of characters accepted. The + character buffer passed to this method is already + in kernel space. + +put_char() Queues a character for writing to the tty device. + If there is no room in the queue, the character is + ignored. + +flush_chars() (Optional) If defined, must be called after + queueing characters with put_char() in order to + start transmission. + +write_room() Returns the numbers of characters the tty driver + will accept for queueing to be written. + +ioctl() Invoke device specific ioctl. + Expects data pointers to refer to userspace. + Returns ENOIOCTLCMD for unrecognized ioctl numbers. + +set_termios() Notify the tty driver that the device's termios + settings have changed. New settings are in + tty->termios. Previous settings should be passed in + the "old" argument. + + The API is defined such that the driver should return + the actual modes selected. This means that the + driver function is responsible for modifying any + bits in the request it cannot fulfill to indicate + the actual modes being used. A device with no + hardware capability for change (e.g. a USB dongle or + virtual port) can provide NULL for this method. + +throttle() Notify the tty driver that input buffers for the + line discipline are close to full, and it should + somehow signal that no more characters should be + sent to the tty. + +unthrottle() Notify the tty driver that characters can now be + sent to the tty without fear of overrunning the + input buffers of the line disciplines. + +stop() Ask the tty driver to stop outputting characters + to the tty device. + +start() Ask the tty driver to resume sending characters + to the tty device. + +hangup() Ask the tty driver to hang up the tty device. + +break_ctl() (Optional) Ask the tty driver to turn on or off + BREAK status on the RS-232 port. If state is -1, + then the BREAK status should be turned on; if + state is 0, then BREAK should be turned off. + If this routine is not implemented, use ioctls + TIOCSBRK / TIOCCBRK instead. + +wait_until_sent() Waits until the device has written out all of the + characters in its transmitter FIFO. + +send_xchar() Send a high-priority XON/XOFF character to the device. +======================= ======================================================= + + +Flags +^^^^^ + +Line discipline methods have access to tty->flags field containing the +following interesting flags: + +======================= ======================================================= +TTY_THROTTLED Driver input is throttled. The ldisc should call + tty->driver->unthrottle() in order to resume + reception when it is ready to process more data. + +TTY_DO_WRITE_WAKEUP If set, causes the driver to call the ldisc's + write_wakeup() method in order to resume + transmission when it can accept more data + to transmit. + +TTY_IO_ERROR If set, causes all subsequent userspace read/write + calls on the tty to fail, returning -EIO. + +TTY_OTHER_CLOSED Device is a pty and the other side has closed. + +TTY_NO_WRITE_SPLIT Prevent driver from splitting up writes into + smaller chunks. +======================= ======================================================= + + +Locking +^^^^^^^ + +Callers to the line discipline functions from the tty layer are required to +take line discipline locks. The same is true of calls from the driver side +but not yet enforced. + +Three calls are now provided:: + + ldisc = tty_ldisc_ref(tty); + +takes a handle to the line discipline in the tty and returns it. If no ldisc +is currently attached or the ldisc is being closed and re-opened at this +point then NULL is returned. While this handle is held the ldisc will not +change or go away:: + + tty_ldisc_deref(ldisc) + +Returns the ldisc reference and allows the ldisc to be closed. Returning the +reference takes away your right to call the ldisc functions until you take +a new reference:: + + ldisc = tty_ldisc_ref_wait(tty); + +Performs the same function as tty_ldisc_ref except that it will wait for an +ldisc change to complete and then return a reference to the new ldisc. + +While these functions are slightly slower than the old code they should have +minimal impact as most receive logic uses the flip buffers and they only +need to take a reference when they push bits up through the driver. + +A caution: The ldisc->open(), ldisc->close() and driver->set_ldisc +functions are called with the ldisc unavailable. Thus tty_ldisc_ref will +fail in this situation if used within these functions. Ldisc and driver +code calling its own functions must be careful in this case. + + +Driver Interface +---------------- + +======================= ======================================================= +open() Called when a device is opened. May sleep + +close() Called when a device is closed. At the point of + return from this call the driver must make no + further ldisc calls of any kind. May sleep + +write() Called to write bytes to the device. May not + sleep. May occur in parallel in special cases. + Because this includes panic paths drivers generally + shouldn't try and do clever locking here. + +put_char() Stuff a single character onto the queue. The + driver is guaranteed following up calls to + flush_chars. + +flush_chars() Ask the kernel to write put_char queue + +write_room() Return the number of characters that can be stuffed + into the port buffers without overflow (or less). + The ldisc is responsible for being intelligent + about multi-threading of write_room/write calls + +ioctl() Called when an ioctl may be for the driver + +set_termios() Called on termios change, serialized against + itself by a semaphore. May sleep. + +set_ldisc() Notifier for discipline change. At the point this + is done the discipline is not yet usable. Can now + sleep (I think) + +throttle() Called by the ldisc to ask the driver to do flow + control. Serialization including with unthrottle + is the job of the ldisc layer. + +unthrottle() Called by the ldisc to ask the driver to stop flow + control. + +stop() Ldisc notifier to the driver to stop output. As with + throttle the serializations with start() are down + to the ldisc layer. + +start() Ldisc notifier to the driver to start output. + +hangup() Ask the tty driver to cause a hangup initiated + from the host side. [Can sleep ??] + +break_ctl() Send RS232 break. Can sleep. Can get called in + parallel, driver must serialize (for now), and + with write calls. + +wait_until_sent() Wait for characters to exit the hardware queue + of the driver. Can sleep + +send_xchar() Send XON/XOFF and if possible jump the queue with + it in order to get fast flow control responses. + Cannot sleep ?? +======================= ======================================================= |
