2008-03-04USB: spruce up the device blacklistAlan Stern
This patch (as1040) fixes up the blacklist of USB device quirks. A couple of lines are broken to comply with the 80-column rule, and entries are sorted into the proper numerical order. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-03-04USB: update Kconfig entry for USB_SUSPENDAlan Stern
This patch (as1039) updates the Kconfig entry for USB_SUSPEND. The out-of-date reference to "power/state" is fixed, autosuspend is mentioned, and the dependency on EXPERIMENTAL is removed. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-03-04PM: Do not acquire device semaphores upfront during suspendRafael J. Wysocki
Remove the code that acquires all device semaphores from the suspend code path as it causes multiple problems to appear (most notably, http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10030) and revert the change introduced by commit 4145ed6dc597a9bea5f6ae8c574653b2de10620f depending on the code being removed. Remove pm_sleep_lock()/pm_sleep_unlock() from device_add() to avoid the issue reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9874. It should fix the regreesions reported at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9874 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10030 Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-02-21USB: quirks and unusual_devs entry for Actions flash driveAlan Stern
This patch (as1033) adds a quirks entry and an unusual_devs entry for the Actions Semiconductor flash drive. This device has a 64-byte string descriptor, which it doesn't terminate with a 0-length packet. Oddly enough, the reporter's logs show that when the device was plugged in at boot time, it changes its behavior completely -- it uses a different product ID, product string descriptor, and bDeviceClass.

2008-02-01USB: mark USB drivers as being GPL onlyGreg Kroah-Hartman
Over two years ago, the Linux USB developers stated that they believed there was no way to create a USB kernel driver that was not under the GPL. This patch moves the USB apis to enforce that decision. There are no known closed source USB drivers in the wild, so this patch should cause no problems.

2008-02-01USB: use a real vendor and product id for root hubsGreg Kroah-Hartman
Turns out that a company is out there using the vendor id of 0x0000 in the wild, so use a real vendor/product id for the root hubs. Now that the Linux Foundation has a real vendor id, we use that, and the first product id: 0x1d6b is the vendor id of the Linux Foundation 0x0001 is the product id for Linux 1.1 root hubs 0x0002 is the product id for Linux 2.0 root hubs The usb.ids file has already been updated with these values.

2008-02-01USB: Export suspend statisticsSarah Sharp
This patch exports two statistics to userspace: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration connected_duration is the total time (in msec) that the device has been connected. active_duration is the total time the device has not been suspended. With these two statistics, tools like PowerTOP can calculate the percentage time that a device is active, i.e. not suspended or auto-suspended. Users can also use the active_duration to check if a device is actually autosuspended. Currently, they can set power/level to auto and power/autosuspend to a positive timeout, but there's no way to know from userspace if a device was actually autosuspended without looking at the dmesg output. These statistics will be useful in creating an automated userspace script to test autosuspend for USB devices.

2008-02-01USB: add usbfs stubs for suspend and resumeAlan Stern
This patch (as1022b) adds stub methods for suspend and resume to the usbfs driver. There isn't much they can do since there's no way to inform a user task about the events. But it's important to have the stubs, because an upcoming change to usbcore will automatically unbind drivers that don't have those methods when a suspend occurs.

2008-02-01USB: updates to usb_reset_composite_device()Alan Stern
This patch (as1023) updates the code in usb_reset_composite_device(): Some local variable declarations are moved to inner loops. The interface locks are not acquired. This isn't necessary any more; its only reason was to prevent an interface from being suspended or resumed during the reset. But now interface power management is controlled by the USB device lock, not by the interface lock. The check for whether the interface is registered is removed. There doesn't seem to be any reason for checking; a driver for a non-registered interface deserves to be informed of device resets just as much as any other.

2008-02-01USB: repair USBDEVFS_CONNECT ioctlAlan Stern
For as long as I've known about it, the USBDEVFS_CONNECT ioctl hasn't done what it's supposed to.

2008-02-01USB: don't change HC power state for a FREEZEAlan Stern

2008-02-01USB: make ksuspend_usbd thread non-freezableAlan Stern
This patch (as1012b) makes the ksuspend_usbd kernel thread non-freezable. Since the PM core has been changed to lock all devices during a system sleep, the thread no longer needs to be frozen. It won't interfere with a system sleep because before trying to resume a root hub device, it acquires the device's lock.

2008-02-01USB: handle idVendor of 0x0000Greg Kroah-Hartman
Some crazy devices in the wild have a vendor id of 0x0000. If we try to add a module alias with this id, we just can't do it due to a check in the file2alias.c file. Change the test to verify that both the vendor and product ids are 0x0000 to show a real "blank" module alias. Note, the module-init-tools package also needs to be changed to properly generate the depmod tables.

2007-12-17USB: use IRQF_DISABLED for HCD interrupt handlersAlan Stern
Host controller IRQs are supposed to be serviced with interrupts disabled. This patch (as1026) adds an IRQF_DISABLED flag to all the controller drivers that lack it. It also replaces the spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_irqrestore() calls in uhci_irq() with simple spin_lock() and spin_unlock(). This fixes Bugzilla #9335.

2007-12-17USB: fix locking loop by avoiding flush_scheduled_workAlan Stern
This patch (as1027) replaces a call to flush_scheduled_work() -- a dangerous routine to invoke, especially while holding any sort of lock -- with calls to cancel_work_sync() and cancel_delayed_work_sync().

2007-11-28USB: uevent environment key fixAlan Stern
This patch (as1010) was written by both Kay Sievers and me. It solves the problem of duplicated keys in USB uevent structures by refactoring the uevent subroutines, taking advantage of the way the hotplug core calls uevent handlers for the device's bus and for the device's type. Keys needed for both USB-device and USB-interface events are added in usb_uevent(), which is the bus handler. Keys appropriate only for USB-device or USB-interface events are added in usb_dev_uevent() or usb_if_uevent() respectively, the type handlers. In addition, unnecessary tests for NULL pointers are removed as are duplicated debugging log statements.

2007-11-28USB: keep track of whether interface sysfs files existAlan Stern
This patch (as1009) solves the problem of multiple registrations for USB sysfs files in a more satisfying way than the existing code. It simply adds a flag to keep track of whether or not the files have been created; that way the files can be created or removed as needed. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

2007-10-25USB: fix interface sysfs file-creation bugAlan Stern
This patch (as1005) fixes a rather subtle problem. When usb_set_configuration() registers the interfaces and their files in sysfs, it doesn't expect those files to exist already. But when an interface is registered, its driver may call usb_set_interface() and thereby cause the sysfs files to be created. The result is an error when usb_set_configuration() goes on to create those same files again. The (not-so-great) solution is to have usb_set_configuration() remove any existing files before creating them.

This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke. Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include <linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

2007-10-12USB: fix race in autosuspend rescheduleAlan Stern
This patch (as1002) fixes a small race which can occur when a driver expects usbcore to reschedule an autosuspend request. If the request arrives too late, it won't be rescheduled. The patch adds an extra argument to autosuspend_check(), indicating that a reschedule is needed no matter how much time has elapsed. It also tries to avoid letting asynchronous changes to the value of jiffies cause a delay to become negative, by caching a local copy of the current time.
