Hi Jarkko,

I've been waiting for you to send a v5 that addresses the issue that the
kernel test robot found, but I guess I can review the other changes in
v4 first.

Thank you. Sorry for slow responses. My mind has been elsewhere.

Exar devices like XR21B1411 can control an RS485 transceiver by
automatically asserting the RTS#/RS485 pin before sending data
and deasserting it when the last stop bit has been transmitted.
The polarity of the RST#/RS485 signal is configurable and the
hardware also supports half-duplex turn-around delay and
address matching mode.

Add support for enabling and disabling RS-485 mode and
configuring the RST#/RS485 signal polarity using the TIOCGRS485
and TIOCSRS485 ioctls. Support for half-duplex turn-around delay
and address matching mode are left unimplemented for now.

User enables RS-485 mode by setting SER_RS485_ENABLED flag in
struct serial_rs485 flags. User should also set either
SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND or SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND to select the
behaviour of the RTS#/RS485 pin. Setting SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND
will drive RTS#/RS485 high during transmission. As this is the
typical application described by Exar, it is selected when
user sets neither or both flags.
Thanks for updating the commit message here.

Since RTS# is active low, shouldn't SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND drive RTS# low
rather than high during transmission as I also pointed out earlier?

I guess you are right. I'll change that.


I use an exar usb adapter to control a solar charging controller. I haven't found any other type of exar adapters in ebay.

This adapter uses high level (RTS off) on TX. So I really would like it to work with the default configuration.

I hope it is ok to use SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND as the default

Changes in v3:
- In this version only rs485.flags are stored to state.
- There is no locking as only one bit of the flags is used.
- ioctl returns -ENOIOCTLCMD as the actual error handling is in tty code.
Changes in v4:
- Store struct rs485 to data
- Add mutex to protect data->rs485.
- Implement SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND or SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND flags
- SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND is the default like in serial_core.c

You still need __user annotation here as the build robot reported.

This does not prevent the termios structure from changing underneath
you. You need to take a write lock on the termios rw sem here instead.


I'll change these to "down_read(&tty->termios_rwsem);" and "up_read(&tty->termios_rwsem);"

I would feel safer by using a local variable "struct serial_rs485" to minimize the holding of the semaphore.

Same here as set_termios() (and xr_set_flow_mode()) can otherwise be
called in parallel.

Looks good otherwise.
