[PATCH 1/6] tty: add port flag to suppress raising DTR & RTS on open

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There exist special serial devices (either attaching to generic serial
ports or containing a built-in USB-serial chip) in which DTR and/or RTS
have been repurposed for non-standard uses.  Depending on exactly how
these signals are repurposed, standard POSIX/SUS behaviour of
unconditionally raising both signals on open may range from harmless
to undesirable to a total killer, precluding the use of Linux with
such custom hardware.

The newly added TTY_PORT_MANUAL_RTSDTR flag switches an individual
serial port from POSIX/SUS standard to non-standard behaviour: when
set, it suppresses the built-in action of raising DTR & RTS on serial
port open.

This flag can be exported through sysfs, and it can also be set by
USB-serial device drivers when they see a custom hw device (identified
by VID:PID) that is known to be wired in a way that requires this flag
to be set.
