Package: gsm-utils
Version: 1.10-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi there.
I'm using gsmlib over a Bluetooth RFCOMM serial device to talk to my
phone. RFCOMM serial devices are a little touchy about being close()d
and immediately re-open()d - the open() succeeds, but other syscalls on
the returned filehandle will fail with -EIO. If a sleep(1) is inserted
between the close() and open() then the problem goes away. Inserting a
sleep() /after/ the open() doesn't work, however long you sleep for - I
reckon all other syscalls on the filehandle fail, and you need a new
filehandle to proceed, but ICBW. Presumably this is something to do
with the previous Bluetooth connection being in the process of being
torn down when we try to establish the new one, but why it stays broken
for the lifetime of the filehandle escapes me.
gsmsmsstore manages to uncover this timing issue because it opens and
closes the device through iostreams to check it exists right before
opening it for serial IO. The serial ioctls then fail, and gsmsmsstore
exits with an error. For the benefit of Googlers, the message is:
gsmsmsstore[ERROR]: clearing DTR failed (errno: 5/Input/output error)
This makes gsmsmsstore rather unusable with RFCOMM devices.
So, a patch is attached that uses gsm_util.cc's "isFile()" to test
for device existence instead, which uses stat() internally instead of
open and close and therefore steps around the problem. I think the
file existence check was broken (exception was discarded) and rather
inelegant, and is probably redundant (think we call isFile() later on
pretty much everything), but anyway...
Cheers,
Isaac Wilcox
