wwan_port_fops_write inputs the SKB parameter to the TX callback of
the WWAN device driver. However, the WWAN device (e.g., t7xx) may
have an MTU less than the size of SKB, causing the TX buffer to be
sliced and copied once more in the WWAN device driver.
This patch implements the slicing in the WWAN subsystem and gives
the WWAN devices driver the option to slice(by frag_len) or not. By
doing so, the additional memory copy is reduced.
Meanwhile, this patch gives WWAN devices driver the option to reserve
headroom in fragments for the device-specific metadata.

Add a new iosm wwan port that connects to the modem rpc interface. This
interface provides a configuration channel, and in the case of the 7360, is
the only way to configure the modem (as it does not support mbim).
The new interface is compatible with existing software, such as
open_xdatachannel.py from the xmm7360-pci project [1].

WWAN driver call's wwan_get_debugfs_dir() to obtain
WWAN debugfs dir entry. As part of this procedure it
returns a reference to a found device.
Since there is no debugfs interface available at WWAN
subsystem, it is not possible to drop dev reference post
debugfs use. This leads to side effects like post wwan
driver load and reload the wwan instance gets increment
from wwanX to wwanX+1.
A new debugfs interface is added in wwan subsystem so that
wwan driver can drop the obtained dev reference post debugfs
use.

Debugfs interface is optional for the regular modem use. Some distros
and users will want to disable this feature for security or kernel
size reasons. So add a configuration option that allows to completely
disable the debugfs interface of the WWAN devices.
A primary considered use case for this option was embedded firmwares.
For example, in OpenWrt, you can not completely disable debugfs, as a
lot of wireless stuff can only be configured and monitored with the
debugfs knobs. At the same time, reducing the size of a kernel and
modules is an essential task in the world of embedded software.
Disabling the WWAN and IOSM debugfs interfaces allows us to save 50K
(x86-64 build) of space for module storage. Not much, but already
considerable when you only have 16MB of storage.
So it is hard to just disable whole debugfs. Users need some fine
grained set of options to control which debugfs interface is important
and should be available and which is not.
The new configuration symbol is enabled by default and is hidden under
the EXPERT option. So a regular user would not be bothered by another
one configuration question. While an embedded distro maintainer will be
able to a little more reduce the final image size.

This patch set brings in a common debugfs base directory
i.e. /sys/kernel/debugfs/wwan/ in WWAN Subsystem for a
WWAN device instance. So that it avoids driver polluting
debugfs root with unrelated directories & possible name
collusion.
Having a common debugfs base directory for WWAN drivers
eases user to match control devices with debugfs entries.
WWAN Subsystem creates dentry (/sys/kernel/debugfs/wwan)
on module load & removes dentry on module unload.
When driver registers a new wwan device, dentry (wwanX)
is created for WWAN device instance & on driver unregister
dentry is removed.
New API is introduced to return the wwan device instance
dentry so that driver can create debugfs entries under it.

The WWAN core not only multiplex the netdev configuration data, but
process it too, and needs some space to store its private data
associated with the netdev. Add a structure to keep common WWAN core
data. The structure will be stored inside the netdev private data before
WWAN driver private data and have a field to make it easier to access
the driver data. Also add a helper function that simplifies drivers
access to their data.
At the moment we use the common WWAN private data to store the WWAN data
link (channel) id at the time the link is created, and report it back to
user using the .fill_info() RTNL callback. This should help the user to
be aware which network interface is bound to which WWAN device data
channel.

Most, if not each WWAN device driver will create a netdev for the
default data channel. Therefore, add an option for the WWAN netdev ops
registration function to create a default netdev for the WWAN device.
A WWAN device driver should pass a default data channel link id to the
ops registering function to request the creation of a default netdev, or
a special value WWAN_NO_DEFAULT_LINK to inform the WWAN core that the
default netdev should not be created.
For now, only wwan_hwsim utilize the default link creation option. Other
drivers will be reworked next.

The WWAN netdev ops owner holding was used to protect from the
unexpected memory disappear. This approach causes a dependency cycle
(driver -> core -> driver) and effectively prevents a WWAN driver
unloading. E.g. WWAN hwsim could not be unloaded until all simulated
devices are removed:
~# modprobe wwan_hwsim devices=2
~# lsmod | grep wwan
wwan_hwsim 16384 2
wwan 20480 1 wwan_hwsim
~# rmmod wwan_hwsim
rmmod: ERROR: Module wwan_hwsim is in use
~# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/wwan_hwsim/hwsim0/destroy
~# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/wwan_hwsim/hwsim1/destroy
~# lsmod | grep wwan
wwan_hwsim 16384 0
wwan 20480 1 wwan_hwsim
~# rmmod wwan_hwsim
For a real device driver this will cause an inability to unload module
until a served device is physically detached.
Since the last commit we are removing all child netdev(s) when a driver
unregister the netdev ops. This allows us to permit the driver
unloading, since any sane driver will call ops unregistering on a device
deinitialization. So, remove the holding of an ops owner to make it
easier to unload a driver module. The owner field has also beed removed
from the ops structure as there are no more users of this field.

At the moment, the WWAN core provides wwan_port_txon/off() to implement
blocking writes. The tx() port operation should not block, instead
wwan_port_txon/off() should be called when the TX queue is full or has
free space again.
However, in some cases it is not straightforward to make use of that
functionality. For example, the RPMSG API used by rpmsg_wwan_ctrl.c
does not provide any way to be notified when the TX queue has space
again. Instead, it only provides the following operations:
- rpmsg_send(): blocking write (wait until there is space)
- rpmsg_trysend(): non-blocking write (return error if no space)
- rpmsg_poll(): set poll flags depending on TX queue state
Generally that's totally sufficient for implementing a char device,
but it does not fit well to the currently provided WWAN port ops.
Most of the time, using the non-blocking rpmsg_trysend() in the
WWAN tx() port operation works just fine. However, with high-frequent
writes to the char device it is possible to trigger a situation
where this causes issues. For example, consider the following
(somewhat unrealistic) example:
# dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000 of=/dev/wwan0qmi0
dd: error writing '/dev/wwan0qmi0': Resource temporarily unavailable
1+0 records out
This fails immediately after writing the first record. It's likely
only a matter of time until this triggers issues for some real application
(e.g. ModemManager sending a lot of large QMI packets).
The rpmsg_char device does not have this problem, because it uses
rpmsg_trysend() and rpmsg_poll() to support non-blocking operations.
Make it possible to use the same in the RPMSG WWAN driver by adding
two new optional wwan_port_ops:
- tx_blocking(): send data blocking if allowed
- tx_poll(): set additional TX poll flags
This integrates nicely with the RPMSG API and does not require
any change in existing WWAN drivers.
With these changes, the dd example above blocks instead of exiting
with an error.

It is quite unusual when some value can not be equal to a defined range

This change introduces initial support for a WWAN framework. Given the
complexity and heterogeneity of existing WWAN hardwares and interfaces,
there is no strict definition of what a WWAN device is and how it should
be represented. It's often a collection of multiple devices that perform
the global WWAN feature (netdev, tty, chardev, etc).
One usual way to expose modem controls and configuration is via high
level protocols such as the well known AT command protocol, MBIM or
QMI. The USB modems started to expose them as character devices, and
user daemons such as ModemManager learnt to use them.
This initial version adds the concept of WWAN port, which is a logical
pipe to a modem control protocol. The protocols are rawly exposed to
user via character device, allowing straigthforward support in existing
tools (ModemManager, ofono...). The WWAN core takes care of the generic
part, including character device management, and relies on port driver
operations to receive/submit protocol data.
Since the different devices exposing protocols for a same WWAN hardware
do not necessarily know about each others (e.g. two different USB
interfaces, PCI/MHI channel devices...) and can be created/removed in
different orders, the WWAN core ensures that all WAN ports contributing
to the 'whole' WWAN feature are grouped under the same virtual WWAN
device, relying on the provided parent device (e.g. mhi controller,
USB device). It's a 'trick' I copied from Johannes's earlier WWAN
subsystem proposal.
This initial version is purposely minimalist, it's essentially moving
the generic part of the previously proposed mhi_wwan_ctrl driver inside
a common WWAN framework, but the implementation is open and flexible
enough to allow extension for further drivers.
