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.

2006-09-27usbcore: add autosuspend/autoresume infrastructureAlan Stern
This patch (as739) adds the basic infrastructure for USB autosuspend and autoresume. The main features are: PM usage counters added to struct usb_device and struct usb_interface, indicating whether it's okay to autosuspend them or they are currently in use. Flag added to usb_device indicating whether the current suspend/resume operation originated from outside or as an autosuspend/autoresume. Flag added to usb_driver indicating whether the driver supports autosuspend. If not, no device bound to the driver will be autosuspended. Mutex added to usb_device for protecting PM operations. Unlike the device semaphore, the locking rule for the pm_mutex is that you must acquire the locks going _up_ the device tree. New routines handling autosuspend/autoresume requests for interfaces and devices. Suspend and resume requests are propagated up the device tree (but not outside the USB subsystem). work_struct added to usb_device, for carrying out delayed autosuspend requests. Autoresume added (and autosuspend prevented) during probe and disconnect. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-27usbcore: store each usb_device's level in the treeAlan Stern
This patch (as778) adds a field to struct usb_device to store the device's level in the USB tree. In itself this number isn't really important. But the overhead is very low, and in a later patch it will be used for preventing bogus warnings from the lockdep checker.

2006-09-27usbcore: trim down usb_bus structureAlan Stern
As part of the ongoing program to flatten out the HCD bus-glue layer, this patch (as771b) eliminates the hcpriv, release, and kref fields from struct usb_bus. hcpriv and release were not being used for anything worthwhile, and kref has been moved into the enclosing usb_hcd structure. Along with those changes, the patch gets rid of usb_bus_get and usb_bus_put, replacing them with usb_get_hcd and usb_put_hcd. The one interesting aspect is that the dev_set_drvdata call was removed from usb_put_hcd, where it clearly doesn't belong. This means the driver private data won't get reset to NULL. It shouldn't cause any problems, since the private data is undefined when no driver is bound. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-27usbcore: Add flag for whether a host controller uses DMAAlan Stern
This patch (as770b) introduces a new field to usb_bus: a flag indicating whether or not the host controller uses DMA. This serves to encapsulate the computation. It also means we will have only one spot to update if the DMA API changes. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-27USB: remove struct usb_operationsAlan Stern
All of the currently-supported USB host controller drivers use the HCD bus-glue framework. As part of the program for flattening out the glue layer, this patch (as769) removes the usb_operations structure. All function calls now go directly to the HCD routines (slightly renamed to remain within the "usb_" namespace). The patch also removes usb_alloc_bus(), because it's not useful in the HCD framework and it wasn't referenced anywhere.

2006-09-27usbcore: help drivers to change device configsAlan Stern
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.

2006-09-27usbcore: track whether interfaces are suspendedAlan Stern
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.

2006-09-27usbcore: add usb_device_driver definitionAlan Stern
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.

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: Consider power budget when choosing configurationAlan Stern
This patch (as609) changes the way we keep track of power budgeting for USB hubs and devices, and it updates the choose_configuration routine to take this information into account. (This is something we should have been doing all along.) A new field in struct usb_device holds the amount of bus current available from the upstream port, and the usb_hub structure keeps track of the current available for each downstream port. Two new rules for configuration selection are added: Don't select a self-powered configuration when only bus power is available. Don't select a configuration requiring more bus power than is available. However the first rule is #if-ed out, because I found that the internal hub in my HP USB keyboard claims that its only configuration is self-powered. The rule would prevent the configuration from being chosen, leaving the hub & keyboard unconfigured. Since similar descriptor errors may turn out to be fairly common, it seemed wise not to include a rule that would break automatic configuration unnecessarily for such devices. The second rule may also trigger unnecessarily, although this should be less common. More likely it will annoy people by sometimes failing to accept configurations that should never have been chosen in the first place. The patch also changes usbcore's reaction when no configuration is suitable. Instead of raising an error and rejecting the device, now the core will simply leave the device unconfigured. People can always work around such problems by installing configurations manually through sysfs.

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>

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: allow usb drivers to disable dynamic idsGreg Kroah-Hartman
This lets drivers, like the usb-serial ones, disable the ability to add ids from sysfs. The usb-serial drivers are "odd" in that they are really usb-serial bus drivers, not usb bus drivers, so the dynamic id logic will have to go into the usb-serial bus core for those drivers to get that ability.

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: add dynamic id functionality to USB coreGreg Kroah-Hartman
Echo the usb vendor and product id to the "new_id" file in the driver's sysfs directory, and then that driver will be able to bind to a device with those ids if it is present. Example: echo 0557 2008 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo_driver/new_id adds the hex values 0557 and 2008 to the device id table for the foo_driver. Note, usb-serial drivers do not currently work with this capability yet. usb-storage also might have some oddities. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

The number of extra fields added to struct usb_host_endpoint has been reduced from 4 to 1.

This patch removes the extra usb_suspend_device() parameter. The original reason to pass that parameter was so that this routine could suspend any active children. A previous patch removed that functionality ... leaving no reason to pass the parameter. A close analogy is pci_set_power_state, which doesn't need a pm_message_t either. On the internal code path that comes through the driver model, the parameter is now used to distinguish cases where USB devices need to "freeze" but not suspend. It also checks for an error case that's accessible through sysfs: attempting to suspend a device before its interfaces (or for hubs, ports).

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernelAlan Stern
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA: This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't been used for anything other than printing warning messages." An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so quickly." Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial" subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked. "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag is removed." Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

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>

Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I haven't seen any failures yet. So I tend to believe that your "should be" actually means "is" :) > > If it is, can it be guaranteed in future, e.g. > > by moving the list head into the public section of struct urb? > > In fact I'm not sure why it ever got called "private" to usbcore/hcds. > I thought the idea was that it should be like urb->status, reserved for > whoever controls the URB.
