[PATCH v5 10/10] tty: n_gsm: add restart flag to extended ioctl config

From: D. Starke
Date: Wed May 17 2023 - 11:59:20 EST


From: Daniel Starke <daniel.starke@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, changing the parameters of the n_gsm mux gives no direct control
to the user whether this should trigger a mux reset or not. The decision is
solely made by the driver based on the assumption which parameter changes
are compatible or not. Therefore, the user has no means to perform an
automatic mux reset after parameter configuration for non-conflicting
changes.

Add the parameter 'flags' to 'gsm_config_ext' to force a mux reset after
ioctl setting regardless of whether the changes made require this or not
by setting this to 'GSM_FL_RESTART'. This is done similar to
'GSM_FL_RESTART' in gsm_dlci_config.flags.

Note that 'GSM_FL_RESTART' is currently the only allowed flag to allow
additions here.

v4 -> v5:
Newly added patch. This adds the missing equivalent from
struct gsm_dlci_config to struct gsm_config_ext.
See also the link below regarding the initial remark for this.

Please note that I cannot response to emails until August 7th. Felix Haase
will take over from our side for questions regarding this patch series or
the n_gsm.
