[ Upstream commit ea3d8465ab9b3e01be329ac5195970a84bef76c5 ]
Some devices have the control dlci stay in ADM mode instead of the UA
mode. This can seen at least on droid 4 when trying to open the ts
27.010 mux port. Enabling n_gsm debug mode shows the control dlci
always respond with DM to SABM instead of UA:
# modprobe n_gsm debug=0xff
# ldattach -d GSM0710 /dev/ttyS0 &
gsmld_output: 00000000: f9 03 3f 01 1c f9
--> 0) C: SABM(P)
gsmld_receive: 00000000: f9 03 1f 01 36 f9
<-- 0) C: DM(P)
...
$ minicom -D /dev/gsmtty1
minicom: cannot open /dev/gsmtty1: No error information
$ strace minicom -D /dev/gsmtty1
...
open("/dev/gsmtty1", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EL2HLT
Note that this is different issue from other n_gsm -EL2HLT issues such
as timeouts when the control dlci does not respond at all.
The ADM mode seems to be a quite common according to "RF Wireless World"
article "GSM Issue-UE sends SABM and gets a DM response instead of
UA response":
This issue is most commonly observed in GSM networks where in UE sends
SABM and expects network to send UA response but it ends up receiving
DM response from the network. SABM stands for Set asynchronous balanced
mode, UA stands for Unnumbered Acknowledge and DA stands for
Disconnected Mode.
An RLP entity can be in one of two modes:
- Asynchronous Balanced Mode (ABM)
- Asynchronous Disconnected Mode (ADM)
Currently Linux kernel closes the control dlci after several retries
in gsm_dlci_t1() on DM. This causes n_gsm /dev/gsmtty ports to produce
error code -EL2HLT when trying to open them as the closing of control
dlci has already set gsm->dead.
Let's fix the issue by allowing control dlci stay in ADM mode after the
retries so the /dev/gsmtty ports can be opened and used. It seems that
it might take several attempts to get any response from the control
dlci, so it's best to allow ADM mode only after the SABM retries are
done.
Note that for droid 4 additional patches are needed to mux the ttyS0
pins and to toggle RTS gpio_149 to wake up the mdm6600 modem are also
needed to use n_gsm. And the mdm6600 modem needs to be powered on.
