PATCH v3 1/1 serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F of FIFO buffers

Add tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F of FIFO buffers.
Serial devices are used as not only message communication devices but control or sending communication devices. For the latter uses, normally small data will be exchanged, so user applications want to receive data unit as soon as possible for real-time tendency. If we have a sensor which sends a 1 byte data each time and must control a device based on the sensor feedback, the RX interrupt should be triggered for each data.

According to HW specification of serial UART devices, RX interrupt trigger can be changed, but the trigger is hard-coded. For example, RX interrupt trigger in 16550A can be set to 1, 4, 8, or 14 bytes for HW, but current driver sets the trigger to only 8bytes.

This patch makes a 16550A device change RX interrupt trigger from userland.

<How to use>
- Read current setting

 # cat /sys/dev/char/4\:64/rx_int_trig
 8

- Write user setting

 # echo 1 > /sys/dev/char/4\:64/rx_int_trig
 # cat /sys/dev/char/4\:64/rx_int_trig
 1

<Support uart device>
- 16550A (1, 4, 8, or 14 bytes)

Changed in V2:
- Use _IOW for TIOCSFIFORTRIG definition
- Pass the interrupt trigger value itself

Changes in V3:
- Change I/F from ioctl(2) to sysfs(rx_int_trig)

Otherwise this looks good to me. The interface is sensible, it can be expanded easily to other devices and device types, and the logic looks right.

I have one concern..

I think this may be problematic when used with DMA. The burst size is usually expected to be aligned with the trigger level.

Though I don't know how big risk that actually is.

Thanks,

When fifo_bug is set to "1", we need to check not only whether (up->bugs & UART_BUG_PARITY) but whether parity is enabled. We can check whether parity is enable only in this function currently, so I think we need to store fifo_bug's value into up->fifo_bug and refer it in the sysfs set(do_set_rx_int_trig()) as follows:

@do_set_rx_int_trig()

Surely the default case should be returning 1 not 0 ?

In the default case, it returns "0" meaning error because "1" has other meaning (1 byte RX trigger). But, "0" is not instinctive value for the error, so it should return -EOPNOTSUPP here.

It is a good idea. I was concerned about the same thing which users must know the HW exactly.

I'll implement it as you say.

You should allow also the probe drivers to set this..

Where are you setting UART_FCR_ENABLE_FIFO bit? Am I missing something?

I do like to see fcr being added here, but because of a different reason. I want to be able to set it from the probe drivers.

Why not just set fcr = up->fcr in the beginning of the function?

Ah, we don't need to set up->fcr = 0 in the previous flow when we implement as follows:

unsigned char fcr = up->fcr;

... <snip> ...

    /*
     * If fcr exists, a user has opened this port, changed RX
     * trigger, or read RX trigger before. If so, we do not change
     * fcr.

        fcr = uart_config[port_type].fcr;
    if ((baud < 2400 && !up->dma) || fifo_bug) {
        fcr &= ~UART_FCR_TRIGGER_MASK;
        fcr |= UART_FCR_TRIGGER_1;
    }

up->fcr = fcr;

In these implementation, the driver sets up->fcr as uart_config[up->port.type].fcr first and changes only RX trigger. So, we don't need to set the bit in a direct way.

Thank you,
