Im trying to use a line discipline as a way to hook my kernel module up to a serial port. I've implemented methods for open, close, and receive_buf, and registered the line discipline (Im using N_MOUSE as my number for now) I've tried using stty line 2 < /dev/ttyS1 to attach my line discipline to a serial port (and tried this on an already open port too (using cat to open the port) and my methods never get called. I've even written a little userspace program that opens ttyS1 and uses tcsetattr() to select c_line=N_MOUSE. It looks like the ldisc is being set because after this stty reports ttyS1 to be using '2' which is correct, however my methods are still never called. What am I missing?
I suspect that since you are using an existing ldisc number that the existing ldisc module is being loaded instead of your module. Do you see the init routine of your module called? If so, what is the return value from tty_register_ldisc()? -- Paul Fulghum MicroGate Systems, Ltd. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
