2014-11-05serial: Fix locking for uart driver set_termios() methodPeter Hurley
The low-level uart driver may modify termios settings to override settings that are not compatible with the uart, such as CRTSCTS. Thus, callers of the low-level uart driver's set_termios() method must hold termios_rwsem write lock to prevent concurrent access to termios, in case such override occurs. The termios_rwsem lock requirement does not extend to console setup (ie., uart_set_options), as console setup cannot race with tty operations. Nor does this lock requirement extend to functions which cannot be concurrent with tty ioctls (ie., uart_port_startup() and uart_resume_port()). Further, always claim the port mutex to protect hardware re-reprogramming in the set_termios() uart driver method. Note this is unnecessary for console initialization in uart_set_options() which cannot be concurrent with other uart operations.

2013-10-16serial: core: delete .set_wake() callbackLinus Walleij
This deletes the .set_wake() callback in the struct uart_ops. Apparently this has been unused since pre-git times. In the old-2.6-bkcvs it is deleted as part of a changeset removing the PM_SET_WAKEUP from pm_request_t which is since also deleted from the kernel. The apropriate way to set wakeups in the kernel is to have a code snippet like this in .suspend() or .runtime_suspend() callbacks: static int foo_suspend(struct device *dev) { if (device_may_wakeup(dev)) { /* Enable wakeups, set internal states */ } } This specific callback is not coming back.

2011-11-15RS485: fix inconsistencies in the meaning of some variablesClaudio Scordino
The crisv10.c and the atmel_serial.c serial drivers intepret the fields of the serial_rs485 structure in a different way. In particular, crisv10.c uses SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND for the voltage of the RTS pin; atmel_serial.c, instead, uses these values to know if a delay must be set before and after sending. This patch makes the usage of these variables consistent across all drivers and fixes the Documentation as well. From now on, SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND will be used to set the voltage of the RTS pin (as in the crisv10.c driver); the delay will be understood by looking only at the value of delay_rts_before_send and delay_rts_after_send.

2008-07-20Subject: [PATCH 1/2] serial: Add flush_buffer() operation to uart_opsHaavard Skinnemoen
Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data. This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct, along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer is flushed.

2005-08-31[SERIAL] Clean up and fix tty transmission start/stopingRussell King
The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a feature.) There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would allow the transmitter to drain before stopping. There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters to send. Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and allow transmitter to drain" case.

2005-06-29[PATCH] Serial: Adjust serial lockingRussell King
This patch changes the way serial ports are locked when getting modem status. This change is necessary because we will need to atomically read the modem status and take action depending on the CTS status. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
