2006-09-27usbcore: move code among source filesAlan Stern
This revised patch (as713b) moves a few routines among source files in usbcore. Some driver-related code in usb.c (claiming interfaces and matching IDs) is moved to driver.c, where it belongs. Also the usb_generic stuff in driver.c is moved to a new source file: generic.c. (That's the reason for revising the patch.) Although not very big now, it will get bigger in a later patch. None of the code has been changed; it has only been re-arranged. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-27usbcore: rename usb_suspend_device to usb_port_suspendAlan Stern
This revised patch (as715b) renames usb_suspend_device to usb_port_suspend, usb_resume_device to usb_port_resume, and finish_device_resume to finish_port_resume. There was no objection to the original version of the patch so this should be okay to apply. The revision was needed only because I have re-arranged the order of the earlier patches.

2006-09-27usb-skeleton: don't submit URBs after disconnectionAlan Stern
This patch (as712b) is a slight revision of one submitted earlier. It fixes the usb-skeleton example driver so that it won't try to submit URBs after skel_disconnect() has returned. This could cause errors, if the driver was unbound and then a different driver was bound to the device. It also fixes a couple of small bugs in the skel_write() routine. The revised patch uses a slightly different test, suggested by Dave Brownell, for determining whether to free a transfer buffer. It's a little clearer than the earlier version.

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.

2006-09-27usbcore: add configuration_string to attribute groupAlan Stern
This patch (as737b) does a very small cleanup of core/sysfs.c by adding the configuration_string attribute file to the existing attribute group instead of treating it separately. It doesn't need this separate treatment because unlike the other device string attributes, it changes along with the active configuration. The patch also fixes a simple typo (which, oddly enough, doesn't seem to bother the compiler). Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Add (dummy?) support for TIOCGSERIAL and TIOCSSERIAL ioctl calls to the USB serial driver file `ark3116.c'. This is sufficient for me to run wvdial successfully, receive my email, and do webbrowsing with firefox. On the other hand, running the cvs program to update archives seems not to work, and the traceroute command sometimes says send failed: No buffer space available Looks like a buffering problem...

2006-09-27USB: pxa2xx_udc understands GPIO based VBUS sensingDavid Brownell
This updates the PXA 25x UDC board-independent infrastructure for VBUS sensing and the D+ pullup. The original code evolved from rather bizarre support on Intel's "Lubbock" reference hardware, so that on more sensible hardware it doesn't work as well as it could/should. The change is just to teach the UDC driver how to use built-in PXA GPIO pins directly. This reduces the amount of board-specfic object code needed, and enables the use of a VBUS sensing IRQ on boards (like Gumstix) that have one. With VBUS sensing, the UDC is unclocked until a host is actually connected. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-09-27USB: ohci-s3c2410.c: clock now usb-bus-hostBen Dooks
With the newer Samsung S3C2412 and S3C2413 SoC devices, the 48MHz USB clock has been given an individual gate into the USB OHCI and gadget blocks. This clock is called usb-bus-clock, and we need to replace the old use of the USB PLL (upll) directly with the new usb-bus-host. The S3C2410 clock driver has been updated already to provide a virtual clock which is a child of the UPLL to maintain compatibility. The S3C2412 clock driver correctly enables the PLL when either usb-bus clock is active. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-27USB: OHCI avoids root hub timer pollingDavid Brownell
This teaches OHCI to use the root hub status change (RHSC) IRQ, bypassing root hub timers most of the time and switching over to the "new" root hub polling scheme. It's complicated by the fact that implementations of OHCI trigger and ack that IRQ differently (the spec is vague there). Avoiding root hub timers helps mechanisms like "dynamic tick" leave the CPU in lowpower modes for longer intervals.

2006-09-27[PATCH] pid: Implement transfer_pid and use it to simplify de_threadEric W. Biederman
In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case. The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the action atomic. This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner. Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a single function call needs to be emitted. The only downside is that the code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being in cache. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-27[PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes supportMichael Tokarev
Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and (at least some) EISA-aware modules. The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC): eisa:sTCM5093 and the in-module alias like: eisa:sTCM5093* The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated. There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those maps are obsolete anyway. The rationale for this patch is: a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias support, to unify driver loading b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;) [akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit] Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Acked-the-net-bits-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Acked-the-tulip-bit-by: Valerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

In this way we could split ucode file as small one. This has a lot of advantages such as selectively update and validate microcode for specific models, better manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and so on. with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into small one and later we will release new style data file).

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.
