[ Upstream commit bec0224816d19abe4fe503586d16d51890540615 ] n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010. See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516 The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.4.6.3.6 states that FCoff stops the transmission on all channels except the control channel. This is already implemented in gsm_data_kick(). However, chapter 5.4.8.1 explains that this shall result in the same behavior as software flow control on the ldisc in advanced option mode. That means only flow control frames shall be sent during flow off. The current implementation does not consider this case. Change gsm_data_kick() to send only flow control frames if constipated to abide the standard. gsm_read_ea_val() and gsm_is_flow_ctrl_msg() are introduced as helper functions for this. It is planned to use gsm_read_ea_val() in later code cleanups for other functions, too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
