1 Qualcomm Gobi 2000 driver
2 -------------------------
3
4 This directory contains a driver for the Qualcomm Gobi 2000 CDMA/GSM modem. The
5 device speaks a protocol called QMI with its host; this driver's responsibility
6 is to multiplex transactions over QMI connections. Note that the relatively
7 simple encoding defined in qmi.h and qmi.c is only the encapsulating protocol;
8 the device speaks a more complex set of protocols embodied in the closed-source
9 Gobi SDK which are necessary to use advanced features of the device.
10 Furthermore, firmware (also proprietary) is needed to make the device useful. An
11 open-source firmware loader exists: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/gobi_loader/.
12
13 Interfaces:
14 This driver presents two separate interfaces to userspace:
15 - usbN, an ordinary usb network interface
16 - /dev/qcqmiN, a channel to speak to the device using QMI messages
17 The latter is for use by the Gobi SDK.
18
19 History:
20 This driver's original incarnation (of which this is a rewrite) was released
21 under GPLv2 by Qualcomm on their Code Aurora site:
22 https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/?p=kernel/msm.git;a=commit;h=b5135a880 f8942f990e8c2e383f7f876beacc55b

24 Issues:
25 Help and commentary on any of the issues below would be appreciated.
26 - The locking in devqmi_close() is not threadsafe: we're walking a list of tasks
27 without holding a lock on the list. The original driver did this and I have
28 left it intact because I do not fully understand what's going on here.
29 - The driver seems to deadlock very occasionally (one in ~6000 reboots during
30 stress testing). I've had no luck tracking this problem down.
