2007-04-27USB: remove use of the bus rwsem, as it doesn't really protect anything.Greg Kroah-Hartman
The driver core stopped using the rwsem a long time ago, yet the USB core still grabbed the lock, thinking it protected something. This patch removes that useless use.

2007-03-09USB: set the correct interval for interrupt URBsAlan Stern
This patch (as862) fixes a couple of bugs in the way usbcore handles intervals for interrupt URBs. usb_interrupt_msg (and usb_bulk_msg for backward compatibility) don't set the interval correctly for high-speed devices. proc_do_submiturb() doesn't set it correctly when a bulk URB is submitted to an interrupt endpoint.

2007-02-16USB: unconfigure devices which have config 0Alan Stern
Some USB devices do have a configuration 0, in contravention of the USB spec. Normally 0 is supposed to indicate that a device is unconfigured. While we can't change what the device is doing, we can change usbcore. This patch (as852) allows usb_set_configuration() to accept a config value of -1 as indicating that the device should be unconfigured. The request actually sent to the device will still contain 0 as the value. But even if the device does have a configuration 0, dev->actconfig will be set to NULL and dev->state will be set to USB_STATE_ADDRESS. Without some sort of special-case handling like this, there is no way to unconfigure these non-compliant devices.

2006-12-20USB: fix to usbfs_snoop logging of user defined control urbsChris Frey
When sending CONTROL URB's using the usual CONTROL ioctl, logging works fine, but when sending them via SUBMITURB, like VMWare does, the control fields are not logged. This patch fixes that. I didn't see any major changes to devio.c recently, so this patch should apply cleanly to even the latest kernel. I can resubmit if it doesn't.

Thanks to several earlier patches, usb_autosuspend_device() and usb_autoresume_device() are never called with a second argument other than 1. This patch (as819) removes the now-redundant argument.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-02[PATCH] usb: fixup usb so it uses struct pidEric W. Biederman
The problem with remembering a user space process by its pid is that it is possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur. Converting to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way for implementing a pid namespace. Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid rename kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid and have the new version take a struct pid. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-27usbfs: detect device unregistrationAlan Stern
This patch (as711b) is a revised version of an earlier submission. It modifies the usbfs code to detect when a device has been unregistered from usbfs, even if the device is still connected. Although this can't happen now, it will be able to happen after the upcoming changes to usb_generic. Nobody objected to this patch when it was submitted before, so it should be okay to apply this version. The revision is merely to take into account the changes introduced by as723, which touches the same driver.

2006-09-27usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and removeAlan Stern
The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open, release, and remove. Release vs. remove is okay because they both acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one. All three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not run concurrently. Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine. Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL. But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any special locking. Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in the release and remove routines, which the code does not do. Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file nodes. Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for userspace to open the other. So simple locking around the individual remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain. Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private mutex for the purpose. Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain doesn't seem like a good idea.

2006-09-27[PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_privateTheodore Ts'o
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: Remove 4088-byte limit on usbfs control URBsMicah Dowty
This patch removes the artificial 4088-byte limit that usbfs currently places on Control transfers. The USB spec does not specify a strict limit on the size of an entire control transfer. It does, however, state that the data stage "follows the same protocol rules as bulk transfers." (USB 2, 8.5.3) The level of support for large control transfers in real host controllers varies, but it's important to support at least 4K transfers. Windows enforces a maximum control transfer size of 4K, so there exists some hardware that requires a full 4096 byte data stage. Without this patch, we fall short of that by 8 bytes on architectures with a 4K page size, and it becomes impossible to support such hardware with a user-space driver. Since any limit placed on control transfers by usbfs would be arbitrary, this patch replaces the PAGE_SIZE limit with the same arbitrary limit used by bulk transfers.

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.

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.

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. It also improves the snoop output by printing the wLength value.

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: kfree() cleanups in drivers/usb/core/devio.cJesper Juhl
Checking for NULL before calling kfree() is redundant. This patch removes these redundant checks and also makes a few tiny whitespace changes. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
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!
