2007-04-27USB: Allow autosuspend delay to equal 0Alan Stern
This patch (as867) adds an entry for the new power/autosuspend attribute in Documentation/ABI/testing, and it changes the behavior of the delay value. Now a delay of 0 means to autosuspend as soon as possible, and negative values will prevent autosuspend.

2007-04-27USB: separate autosuspend from external suspendAlan Stern
This patch (as866) adds new entry points for external USB device suspend and resume requests, as opposed to internally-generated autosuspend or autoresume. It also changes the existing remote-wakeup code paths to use the new routines, since remote wakeup is not the same as autoresume. As part of the change, it turns out to be necessary to do remote wakeup of root hubs from a workqueue. We had been using khubd, but it does autoresume rather than an external resume. Using the ksuspend_usb_wq workqueue for this purpose seemed a logical choice. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2007-04-27mos7720 updateOliver Neukum
this driver has an interesting way of handling ENOMEM: complain and ignore. If you decide to live with allocation failures, you must 1. guard against URBs without corresponding buffers 2. complete allocation failures 3. always test entries for NULL before you follow the pointers This patch does so.

2007-04-27USB: fix race in HCD removalAlan Stern
This patch (as865) fixes a race in the HCD removal code discovered by Milan Plzik. Arrival of an interrupt after the root hub was unregistered could cause the root-hub status timer to start up, even after it was supposed to have been shut down. The problem is fixed by moving the del_timer_sync() call to after the HCD's stop() method, at which time IRQ generation should be disabled.

2007-04-27USB: cxacru: export detailed device info through sysfsSimon Arlott
When the device is polled for status there is a lot of useful status information available that is ignored. This patch stores the device info array when the status is polled and adds sysfs files to the usb device to allow userspace to query it. Since the device updates its status internally once a second the poll time is changed to this, and round_jiffies_relative is used to avoid waking the cpu unnecessarily.

2007-04-27usbatm: create sysfs link "device" from atm class device to usb interfaceSimon Arlott
There is currently no path from the ATM device in /sys to the USB device's interface that the driver is using; this patch creates a "device" symlink. It is then possible to get to the cxacru ADSL statistics (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/23/328): /sys/class/atm/cxacru0/device $ ls *_rate *_margin *_attenuation downstream_attenuation downstream_snr_margin upstream_rate downstream_rate upstream_attenuation upstream_snr_margin If this link is not appropriate I'd have to create device files in /sys/class/atm/cxacru0 instead - which seems less appropriate since the ADSL statistics are for the USB device not ATM (which is running over the ADSL).

2007-04-27define platform wakeup hook, use in pci_enable_wake()David Brownell
This defines a platform hook to enable/disable a device as a wakeup event source. It's initially for use with ACPI, but more generally it could be used whenever enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() don't suffice. The hook is called -- if available -- inside pci_enable_wake(); and the semantics of that call are enhanced so that support for PCI PME# is no longer needed. It can now work for devices with "legacy PCI PM", when platform support allows it. (That support would use some board-specific signal for for the same purpose as PME#.)

2007-04-27s390: cio: Delay uevents for subchannelsCornelia Huck
We often have the situation that we register a subchannel and start device recognition, only to find out that the device is not usable after all, which triggers an unregister of the subchannel. This often happens on hundreds of subchannels on a LPAR, leading to a storm of events which aren't of any use. Therefore, use uevent_suppress to delay the KOBJ_ADD uevent for a subchannel until we know that its ccw_device is to be registered.

The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference count of attributes. It is not needed at all and can be removed. Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure. This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the future. But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

2007-04-27Driver core: udev triggered device-<>driver bindingKay Sievers
We get two per-bus sysfs files: ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe --w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone. The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a driver to this device. Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the bus initiated probing: echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe ... and initiate the probing with udev rules like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel" ... Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \ ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \ ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel" This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years. It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do. With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and whatever ... To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
