docs: serial: move it to the driver-api

2019-07-15T14:03:03Z

The contents of this directory is mostly driver-api stuff. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

docs: serial: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-04-25T09:37:42Z

The converted files are focused at the Kernel internal API, so, this is a good candidate for the kernel API set of books. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst"

2018-11-20T16:30:43Z

Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth: | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more | formal, and "while" is the common word. | | [...] | | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never | uses? dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation. Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big tty and serial pull request for 4.20-rc1 Lots of little things here, including a merge from the SPI tree in order to keep things simpler for everyone to sync around for one platform. Major stuff is: - tty buffer clearing after use - atmel_serial fixes and additions - xilinx uart driver updates and of course, lots of tiny fixes and additions to individual serial drivers.

tty/serial_core: add ISO7816 infrastructure

2018-10-02T20:38:55Z

Add the ISO7816 ioctl and associated accessors and data structure. Drivers can then use this common implementation to handle ISO7816 (smart cards).

serial: docs: Fix filename for serial reference implementation

2018-09-20T13:12:35Z

Currently documentation mentions a file but the filename has a typo in it, underscore instead of hyphen. This makes grep'ing for the file hard. Use correct filename for file amba-pl011.c Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/

2018-09-09T21:08:58Z

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX. List of outdated 00-INDEX: Documentation: (4/10) Documentation/sysctl: (0/1) Documentation/timers: (1/0) Documentation/blockdev: (3/1) Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1) Documentation/locking: (0/1) Documentation/devicetree: (0/5) Documentation/power: (1/1) Documentation/powerpc: (0/5) Documentation/arm: (1/0) Documentation/x86: (0/9) Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1) Documentation/scsi: (4/4) Documentation/filesystems: (2/9) Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2) Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2) Documentation/kbuild: (0/4) Documentation/spi: (1/0) Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0) Documentation/scheduler: (0/2) Documentation/fb: (0/1) Documentation/block: (0/1) Documentation/networking: (6/37) Documentation/vm: (1/3) Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no 00-INDEX). I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway. As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and see where the discussion is going. Signed-off-by: Henrik Austad Acked-by: "Paul E.

tty: n_gsm: do not send/receive in ldisc close path

2017-06-03T09:48:52Z

gsm_cleanup_mux() is called in the line discipline close path which is called at tty_release() time. At this stage the tty is no longer operational enough to send any frames. Sending close frames is therefore not possible and waiting for their answers always times out. This patch removes sending close messages and waiting for their answers from the tty_release path. This patch makes explicit what previously implicitly had been the case already: We are not able to tell the modem that we are about to close the multiplexer on our side. This means the modem will stay in multiplexer mode and re-establishing the multiplexer later fails. The only way for userspace to work around this is to manually send a close frame in N_TTY mode after closing the mux. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Documentation: rs485: Do not define manually the ioctl

2016-08-18T17:08:33Z

It is not a very good practice to define the IOCTL manually instead of using the header file. Fix it on the documentation example. Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
