2008-05-14USB: serial gadget: descriptor cleanupDavid Brownell
Bugfix some serial gadget descriptors: - Stop mangling the low bits (controller type ID) of bcdDevice; just use the high bits for a driver revision code. - Serial numbers that aren't specific to individual devices are useless; stop reporting "0" for this. - Since it's not part of a CDC-conformant function, the "bulk only" configuration shouldn't be using "CDC Data" as its interface class. Switch over to using CLASS_VENDOR_SPEC (different value, 0xff).

2008-05-14USB: serial gadget: simplify endpoint handlingDavid Brownell
Switch serial gadget away from a *very* old idiom: just remember the endpoints we'll be using, instead of looking them up by name each time. This is a net code and data (globals) shrink. Also fix a small memory leak in the rmmod path, by working the same as the disconnect code.

2008-05-14USB: serial gadget: remove needless data structureDavid Brownell
This removes a needless data structure from the serial gadget code; it's a small code shrink, and a larger data shrink. Since "struct usb_request" already has a "struct list_head" reserved for use by gadget drivers, the serial gadget code doesn't need to allocate wrapper structs to hold that list ... it can (and should!) just use the list_head provided for that exact use.

2008-05-14USB: serial gadget: cleanup/reorgDavid Brownell
Some cleanup/reorg of g_serial ... simplifying it, and disentangling its structure so morphing it into a "function" driver (combinable with other interfaces) should be less painful. - Remove most forward declarations * put tty and gadget driver structs after their contents * snug module init/exit decls next to their functions * reordered some functions - Other cleanup: * convert a funky macro to an inline function * snug up module params next to their declarations * add missing driver.owner * add separator lines between major driver sections - Add comments re potential parameter/#define changes: * only supports one port (shrank GS_NUM_PORTS) * changing from 9600-8-N-1 affects multiple sites - Remove net2280-specific optimization ... it was being done way too late, can be done by net2280 module options, and in any case doesn't matter at any sane serial data rates. There are no behavioral changes, but the macro thing saves I-space.

2008-05-02usb serial gadget: CDC ACM fixesDavid Brownell
Based on a patch from <Aurel.Thomi@ruag.com>, this makes the CDC-ACM support in the serial gadget handle the SET_LINE_CODING and SET_CONTROL_LINE_STATE requests ... which should improve interop with at least MS-Windows "usbser.sys" if not some other ACM host drivers. It also adds a few REVISIT comments where this code plays a bit loose with the CDC ACM spec. If this were used to hook up to a real RS232 or modem link, those places would need a bit of work.

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.

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-07-12[PATCH] USB: gadget section fixupsDavid Brownell
Recent section changes broke gadget builds on some platforms. This patch is the best fix that's available until better section markings exist: - There's a lot of cleanup code that gets used in both init and exit paths; stop marking it as "__exit". (Best fix for this would be an "__init_or_exit" section marking, putting the cleanup in __init when __exit sections get discarded else in __exit.) - Stop marking the use-once probe routines as "__init" since references to those routines are not allowed from driver structures. They're now marked "__devinit", which in practice is a net lose. (Best fix for this is likely to separate such use-once probe routines from the driver structure ... but in general, all busses that aren't hotpluggable will be forced to waste memory for all probe-only code.) In general these broken section rules waste an average of two to four kBytes per driver of code bloat ... because none of the relevant code can ever be reused after module initialization.

2006-01-10[PATCH] TTY layer buffering revampAlan Cox
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out. This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the kernel cycles between them as before. When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means that we can operate at higher speeds reliably. For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud). Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow. The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is read. We thus make it a variable not a function call. I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes. Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any more. Description: tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It does now also return the number of chars inserted There are also tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len) which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to transfer. and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len) to insert a string of characters and flags For a smart interface the usual code is len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says); tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len); More description! At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments) I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O" devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of data suddenely materialise and need storing. So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API but others need more. At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will be needed now is a good time to say int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size) Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change. Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a more efficient way when you know block sizes. int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag) As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0 for failure. int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len) Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted. int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len) Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

It looks like that the gs_serial module maybe sleep with spinlock in gs_close. Sometimes, system hang when I remove the gs_serial module. From: Fengwei Yin <xaityyy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: Gadget library: centralize gadget controller numbersDavid Brownell
This patch centralizes the assignment of bcdDevice numbers for different gadget controllers. This won't improve the object code at all, but it does save a lot of repetitive and error-prone source code ... and will simplify the work of supporting a new controller driver, since most new gadget drivers will no longer need patches (unless some hardware quirks limit USB protocol messaging). Added minor cleanups and identifer hooks for the UDC in the Freescale iMX series processors.

2005-06-27[PATCH] USB: gadget driver updates (SETUP api change)David Brownell
This updates most of the gadget framework to expect SETUP packets use USB byteorder (matching the annotation in <linux/usb_ch9.h> and usage in the host side stack): - definition in <linux/usb_gadget.h> - gadget drivers: Ethernet/RNDIS, serial/ACM, file_storage, gadgetfs. - dummy_hcd It also includes some other similar changes as suggested by "sparse", which was used to detect byteorder bugs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
