2007-02-16USB: fix g_serial small errorBryan O'Donoghue
A SET_LINE_CODING control request should return a zero length packet as an ACK to the host, during the status phase of a USB transaction. The return value of gs_setup_class() is treated as the number of bytes to write in the status phase of the control request, by gs_setup(). For this case, the value returned by gs_setup_class should be zero for SET_LINE_CODING but, right now, appears to be sizeof(struct usb_cdc_line_coding). However, if after doing the memcpy of the line coding descriptor we set the variable "ret" to be zero, we should return the appropiate ZLP to the host as an ACK in the status phase of the control request. I've tested this out using Linux as both host and slave and confirmed that the following small change fixes the spurious return of sizeof(struct usb_cdc_line_coding)/wLength bytes in the status phase of a USB_CDC_REQ_SET_LINE_CODING request. It's not a huge bug but, it is worth fixing. Signed-off-by: Bryan O'Donoghue <bodonoghue@codehermit.ie> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-02-16USB: add flow control to usb-serial generic driver.Joris van Rantwijk
I added two fields to struct usb_serial_port to keep track of the throttle state. Other usb-serial drivers typically use private data for such things, but the generic driver can not really do that because some of its code is also used by other drivers (which may have their own private data needs). As it is, I am not sure that this patch is useful in all scenarios. It is certainly helpful for low-bandwidth devices that can hold their data in response to throttling. But for devices that pump data in real-time as fast as possible (webcam, A/D converter, etc), throttling may actually cause more data loss.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove sys_sysctl support from the hpet timer driverEric W. Biederman
In the binary sysctl interface the hpet driver was claiming to be the cdrom driver. This is a no-no so remove support for the binary interface. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: cdrom: don't set de->ownerEric W. Biederman
There is no need for open files in /proc/sys/XXX to hold a reference count on the module that provides the file to prevent module unload races. While there is code active in the module p->used in the sysctl_table_header is incremented, preventing the sysctl from being unregisted. Once the sysctl is unregistered it cannot be found. Open files are also not a problem as they revalidate the sysctl information and bump p->used before accessing module code. So setting de->owner is unnecessary, makes for a bad example and gets in my way of removing ctl_table->de. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
