From c4a584416ab4af81b6cae653625c78f9158de1e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aleksander Morgado Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2016 18:49:08 +0200 Subject: core: allow disabling auto-scan and notifying ports one by one via API This commit enables a new core ModemManager daemon option, so that automatic detection of available modems is totally disabled: '--no-auto-scan'. Note that this option also replaces the previously used '--test-no-auto-scan' option, which was only used during tests. Along with the new ModemManager option, a new ReportKernelEvent() method in the API is defined, which allows notifying the daemon of which interfaces it should be accessing, as well as the main details of each interface. The only mandatory parameters in the new method are 'action' (add/remove), 'name' (the name of the interface) and 'subsystem' (the subsystem of the interface). The mmcli tool has support for using the new api method via several new options: * The '--report-kernel-event' option allows specifying device ports one by one, and is a direct mapping of the ReportKernelEvent() method: $ sudo mmcli --report-kernel-event="action=add,name=wwan0,subsystem=net" $ sudo mmcli --report-kernel-event="action=add,name=cdc-wdm0,subsystem=usbmisc" * The '--report-kernel-event-auto-scan' option uses udev monitoring to notify events automatically to the daemon. This allows to operate in a way equivalent to the default daemon operation (with implicit auto-scan). Worth noting that the ReportKernelEvent() method is only usable when '--no-auto-scan' is explicitly used in the daemon. An error will be reported if the method is tried while standard udev monitoring is enabled (implicit if auto scan isn't explicitly disabled in the daemon). If mmcli is going to be used only to report 'real time' events, an optional '--initial-kernel-events=[PATH]' may be given in the ModemManager call to automatically process a set of port kernel events one by one on boot.
