It's generally a bad idea for USB interface drivers to try to change a
device's configuration, and usbcore doesn't provide any way for them
to do it. However in a few exceptional circumstances it can make
sense. This patch (as767) adds a roundabout mechanism to help drivers
that may need it.

This patch enables the USB stack to recognize WUSB devices (from a
WUSB HCD) and assigns them the proper speed setting
(USB_SPEED_VARIABLE).
1. Introduce usb_hcd->wireless to mark a host controller instance as
being wireless, and thus having wireless 'fake' ports.
[discarded previous model of using a reserved bit in the port_stat
struct to do this; thanks to Alan Stern for indicating the
proper way to do it].
2. Introduce hub.c:hub_is_wusb() that tests if a hub is a WUSB root
hub (WUSB doesn't have non-root hubs).

We don't want khubd to start interfering in the device-resume process
merely because the PORT_STATUS_C_SUSPEND feature happens to be set.
Ports need to be marked as busy while a resume is taking place.
In addition, so long as ports are marked as busy, khubd won't be able to
clear their various status-change features. On an interrupt-driven root
hub this could lead to an interrupt storm. Root hub IRQs should not be
re-enabled until the busy_bits value is equal to 0.
This patch (as765) fixes these two potential problems.

The inconsistent lock state problem in usbcore (the one that shows up
when an HCD is unloaded) comes down to two inter-related problems:
usb_rh_urb_dequeue() isn't set up to be called with interrupts
disabled.
hcd_endpoint_disable() doesn't wait for all URBs on the
endpoint's queue to complete.
The two problems are related because the one type of URB that isn't
likely to be complete when hcd_endpoint_disable() returns is a root-hub
URB. Right now usb_rh_urb_dequeue() waits for them to complete, and it
assumes interrupts are enabled so it can wait. But
hcd_endpoint_disable() calls it with interrupts disabled.
Now, it should be legal to unlink root-hub URBs with interrupts
disabled. The solution is to move the waiting into
hcd_endpoint_disable(), where it belongs. This patch (as754) does that.
It turns out to be completely safe to replace the del_timer_sync() with
a simple del_timer(). It doesn't matter if the timer routine is
running; hcd_root_hub_lock will synchronize the two threads and the
status URB will complete with an unlink error, as it should.

If some problem occurs during ehci startup, for instance, request_irq fails,
echi hcd driver tries it best to cleanup, but fails to unregister reboot
notifier, which in turn leads to crash on reboot/poweroff.
The following patch resolves this problem by not using reboot notifiers
anymore, but instead making ehci/ohci driver get its own shutdown method. For
PCI, it is done through pci glue, for everything else through platform driver
glue.
One downside: sa1111 does not use platform driver stuff, and does not have its
own shutdown hook, so no 'shutdown' is called for it now. I'm not sure if it
is really necessary on that platform, though.

This patch uses completion timeout instead of a timer to implement
a timeout when submitting an URB in usb_start_wait_urb().
It also fixes a small issue. With the previous code, if no timeout
happened and the URB's status was set to ECONNRESET value, the code
assumed wrongly that a timeout had occured.

Since usb_generic can be unbound from a USB device, we need to be able
to handle the possibility that a suspend or resume request arrives for a
device with no driver. This patch (as735) arranges things so that
resume requests will fail and suspend requests will use the standard USB
port-suspend code. Attempts to suspend or resume an unbound interface
are handled similarly (although the error caused by trying to resume an
unbound interface is dropped by the calling routine).

This patch (as734) rationalizes the various tests of device state and
power states. There are duplications and mistaken tests in several
places.
Perhaps the most interesting challenge is where the hub driver tests to
see that all the child devices are suspended before allowing itself to
be suspended. When CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is set the test is
straightforward, since we expect that the children _will_ be suspended.
But when CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set, it's not so clear what should be
done. The code compromises by checking the child's
power.power_state.event field.

This patch (as733) fixes up the places where device states and power
states are set in usbcore. Right now things are duplicated or missing;
this should straighten things out.
The idea is that udev->state is USB_STATE_SUSPENDED exactly when the
device's upstream port has been suspended, whereas
udev->dev.power.power_state.event reflects the result of the last call
to the suspend/resume routines (which might not actually change the
device state, especially if CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set).

Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking
whether intf is suspended. This is not a reliable technique because
that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore. This patch (as718b)
adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are
suspended and which aren't.
At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces
will be suspended along with their devices. It turns out there are a
couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as
while processing a remote-wakeup request.

This patch (as717b) removes the existing recursion in hub resume code:
Resuming a hub will no longer automatically resume the devices attached
to the hub.
At the same time, it adds one level of recursion: Suspending a USB
device will automatically suspend all the device's interfaces. Failure
at an intermediate stage will cause all the already-suspended interfaces
to be resumed. Attempts to suspend or resume an interface by itself will
do nothing, although they won't return an error. Thus the regular
system-suspend and system-resume procedures should continue to work as
before; only runtime PM will be affected.
The patch also removes the code that tests state of the interfaces
before suspending a device. It's no longer needed, since everything
gets suspended together.

This patch (as714b) makes usb_generic into a usb_device_driver capable
of being probed and unbound, just like other drivers. A fair amount of
the work that used to get done during discovery or removal of a USB
device have been moved to the probe and disconnect methods of
usb_generic: creating the sysfs attributes and selecting an initial
configuration. However the normal behavior should continue to be the
same as before.
We will now have the possibility of creating other USB device drivers,
They will assist with exporting devices to remote systems

This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an
interface. Support routines like usb_register_device_driver,
usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device
are also added.
Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe. To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper. This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

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

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.

along with the active configuration.

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.

In usbfs's fs_remove_file() function, the aim is to remove a file or
directory from usbfs. This is done by first taking the i_mutex of the
parent directory of this file/dir via
mutex_lock(&parent->d_inode->i_mutex);
and then to call either usbfs_rmdir() for a directory or usbfs_unlink()
for a file. Both these functions then take the i_mutex for the
to-be-removed object themselves:
mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex);
This is a classical parent->child locking order relationship that the VFS uses
all over the place; the VFS locking rule is "you need to take the parent
first". This patch annotates the usbfs code to make this explicit and thus
informs the lockdep code that those two locks indeed have this relationship.
The rules for unlink that we already use in the VFS for unlink are to use
I_MUTEX_PARENT for the parent directory, and a normal mutex for the file
itself; this patch follows that convention.
Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

As Al so eloquently points out, the patch is crap. The old code was fine,
the new code was bogus.
It never dereferenced a user pointer, the "->" operator was to an array
member, which gives the _address_ of the member (in user space), not an

Fix conflicts between patch 'NFS: Split fs/nfs/inode.c' and patch
'VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount'
|
|
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.
This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.
The patch also makes the following changes:
(*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
very little.
(*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
(*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
dentries being left unculled.
However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
with child trees.
[*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
(*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.
