2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: Remove USB private semaphoreAlan Stern
This patch (as605) removes the private udev->serialize semaphore, relying instead on the locking provided by the embedded struct device's semaphore. The changes are confined to the core, except that the usb_trylock_device routine now uses the return convention of down_trylock rather than down_read_trylock (they return opposite values for no good reason). A couple of other associated changes are included as well: Now that we aren't concerned about HCDs that avoid using the hcd glue layer, usb_disconnect no longer needs to acquire the usb_bus_lock -- that can be done by usb_remove_hcd where it belongs. Devices aren't locked over the same scope of code in usb_new_device and hub_port_connect_change as they used to be. This shouldn't cause any trouble. Along with the preceding driver core patch, this needs a lot of testing. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-10-28[PATCH] usb: Patch for USBDEVFS_IOCTL from 32-bit programsPete Zaitcev
Dell supplied me with the following test: #include<stdio.h> #include<errno.h> #include<sys/ioctl.h> #include<fcntl.h> #include<linux/usbdevice_fs.h> main(int argc,char*argv[]) { struct usbdevfs_hub_portinfo hubPortInfo = {0}; struct usbdevfs_ioctl command = {0}; command.ifno = 0; command.ioctl_code = USBDEVFS_HUB_PORTINFO; command.data = (void*)&hubPortInfo; int fd, ret; if(argc != 2) { fprintf(stderr,"Usage: %s /proc/bus/usb/<BusNo>/<HubID>\n",argv[0]); fprintf(stderr,"Example: %s /proc/bus/usb/001/001\n",argv[0]); exit(1); } errno = 0; fd = open(argv[1],O_RDWR); if(fd < 0) { perror("open failed:"); exit(errno); } errno = 0; ret = ioctl(fd,USBDEVFS_IOCTL,&command); printf("IOCTL return status:%d\n",ret); if(ret<0) { perror("IOCTL failed:"); close(fd); exit(3); } else { printf("IOCTL passed:Num of ports %d\n",hubPortInfo.nports); close(fd); exit(0); } return 0; } I have verified that it breaks if built in 32 bit mode on x86_64 and that the patch below fixes it.

2005-10-28[PATCH] Driver Core: fix up all callers of class_device_create()Greg Kroah-Hartman

2005-10-10Use the new "kill_proc_info_as_uid()" for USB disconnect tooLinus Torvalds
All the same issues - we can't just save the pointer to the thread, we must save the pid/uid/euid combination. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-10-10[PATCH] Fix signal sending in usbdevio on async URB completionHarald Welte
If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above. This is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid afterwards. In fact, there are three separate issues: 1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device. 2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct, task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile. 3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed, and we can no longer send it a signal. So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: Disconnect children when unbinding the hub driverAlan Stern
This patch (as554) makes the hub driver disconnect any child USB devices when it is unbound from a hub. Normally this will never happen, but there are a few oddball ways to unbind the hub driver while leaving the children intact. For example, the new "unbind" sysfs attribute can be used for this purpose. Given that unbinding hubs with children is now safe, the patch also removes the code that prevented people from doing so using usbfs.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: real nodes instead of usbfsKay Sievers
This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class where every connected usb-device will show up: tree /sys/class/usb_device/ /sys/class/usb_device/ |-- usb1.1 | |-- dev | `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1 |-- usb2.1 | |-- dev | `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2 ... The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes. kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/ /dev/bus/usb/ |-- 1 | `-- 1 |-- 2 | `-- 1 ... udev rule: SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c" (echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/') This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs: export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb Background: All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like "Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support. New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files. This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up: SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c" /sbin/usbdevice: #!/bin/sh echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/' Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-07-29[PATCH] USB: usbfs: Don't leak uninitialized dataAlan Stern
This patch fixes an information leak in the usbfs snoop facility: uninitialized data from __get_free_page can be returned to userspace and written to the system log.

2005-06-27[PATCH] USB: turn a user mode driver error into a hard errorDavid Brownell
This patch turns a user mode driver error into a hard error, and updates the relevant diagnostic slightly to help troubleshooting. gphoto was known to have this problem, hopefully it is now fixed (they have had plenty of warning...) This had been left as a soft error to give various user mode drivers a change to be properly fixed, with the statement that starting in about 2.6.10 it would be changed. It had been mostly safe as a soft error ... but that can not be guaranteed. Now that a year has passed, it's time to really insist that the user mode drivers finally fix their relevant bugs.

2005-04-18[PATCH] USB: bug fix in usbdevfsChristopher Li
I am sorry that the last patch about 32 bit compat ioctl on 64 bit kernel actually breaks the usbdevfs. That is on the current BK tree. I am retarded. Here is the patch to fix it. Tested with USB hard disk and webcam in both 32bit compatible mode and native 64bit mode. Again, sorry about that.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
