This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tty: n_gsm: Fix for modems with brk in modem status control to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 3ac06b905655b3ef2fd2196bab36e4587e1e4e4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Poeschel <poeschel@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2014 13:34:37 +0100 Subject: tty: n_gsm: Fix for modems with brk in modem status control 3GPP TS 07.10 states in section 5.4.6.3.7: "The length byte contains the value 2 or 3 ... depending on the break signal." The break byte is optional and if it is sent, the length is 3. In fact the driver was not able to work with modems that send this break byte in their modem status control message. If the modem just sends the break byte if it is really set, then weird things might happen. The code for deconding the modem status to the internal linux presentation in gsm_process_modem has already a big comment about this 2 or 3 byte length thing and it is already able to decode the brk, but the code calling the gsm_process_modem function in gsm_control_modem does not encode it and hand it over the right way. This patch fixes this. Without this fix if the modem sends the brk byte in it's modem status control message the driver will hang when opening a muxed channel.
