[PATCH net v2] net: wwan: mhi_wwan_ctrl: send a DTR drop before it can be coalesced
From: Peter Hunt
Date: Tue Oct 27 2026 - 13:11:52 EST
DTR/RTS changes are sent from a work item that only sends the latest
state, so a drop followed quickly by a raise, for example TIOCMBIC then
TIOCMBIS or a quick close and reopen, can reach the modem as just the
raise. A drop matters on its own, a modem set to AT&D2 hangs up on it.
Flush the work when DTR goes low so the drop is sent before ->dtr_rts()
returns, and flush it in stop() so any pending state is sent before the
channel is stopped. A drop that hits a full UL ring is still retried
with whatever state is latest by then.
Fixes: d509edf90bc6 ("net: wwan: mhi_wwan_ctrl: drive DTR/RTS via the IP_CTRL channel")

v2: Only handle the DTR drop, by flushing the work when DTR goes low,
and flush it in stop() as well (Loic Poulain). Drop the port list
and resend on a late IP_CTRL bind, which is only reachable by
unbinding and rebinding mhi_wwan_dtr through sysfs.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261023174113.2388353-1-peter.hunt@xxxxxxxxxxxx/
Tested on a Sierra EM9291 (CM8100): back-to-back DTR drop+raise and
close+reopen now always send the drop, bursts of 10,000 DTR changes,
HUPCL, teardown and lock stress tests.
