This patch upgrades the support for the Sierra Wireless TRU-Install
feature (i.e. zeroCD) to allow for future support of Linux enabled
TRU-Install devices.
By default all devices that do not have a Linux enabled TRU-Install
device (i.e. the device does not have a Linux package on the virtual CD
partition) will be switched into "modem mode." Devices that do contain a
Linux package in the TRU-Install virtual CD will be allowed to enumerate
as a CD-Rom so that either (a) a user can install the packaged software
or (b) a user-space application (e.g. udev) can switch it to modem mode.
This patch does allow for manual override by adding a usb-storage module
parameter 'swi_tru_install' which can force the modem into either mode
regardless of what packages it contains.

This patch (as1092) implements "soft" unbinding for usb-storage. When
the disconnect routine is called, all commands and reset delays are
allowed to complete normally until after scsi_remove_host() returns.
This means that the commands needed for an orderly shutdown will be
sent through to the device.
Unlike before, the driver will now execute every command that it
accepts. Hence there's no need for special code to catch unexecuted
commands and fail them.
The new sequence of events when disconnect runs goes as follows:
If the device is truly unplugged, set the DISCONNECTING
flag so we won't try to access it any more.
If the SCSI-scanning thread hasn't started up yet, prevent
it from doing anything by setting the new DONT_SCAN flag.
Then wake it up and wait for it to terminate.
Remove the SCSI host. This unbinds the upper-level drivers,
doing an orderly shutdown. Commands sent to quiesce the
device will be transmitted normally, unless the device is
unplugged.
Set the DISCONNECTING flag so that we won't accept any new
commands that might get submitted (there aren't supposed to be
any) and we won't try to access the device for resets.
Tell the control thread to exit by waking it up with no
pending command, and wait for it to terminate.
Go on to do all the other normal stuff: releasing resources,
freeing memory, and so on.

This patch (as1089) separates out the dynamic atomic bitflags and the
static bitfields in usb-storage. Until now the two sorts of flags
have been sharing the same word; this has always been awkward.
To help prevent possible confusion, the two new fields each have a
different name from the original. us->fflags contains the fixed
bitfields (mostly taken from the USB ID table in unusual_devs.h), and
us->dflags contains the dynamic atomic bitflags (used with set_bit,
test_bit, and so on).

I have got a cypress usb-ide bridge and I would like to tune or monitor
my disk with tools like hdparm, hddtemp or smartctl.
My controller support a way to send raw ATA command to the disk with
something call atacb (see
http://download.cypress.com.edgesuite.net/design_resources/datasheets/contents/cy7c68300c_8.pdf).
Atacb support can be added for each application, but there is some disadvantages :
- all application need to be patched
- A race is possible if there other accesses, because the emulation can
be split in 2 atacb scsi transactions. One for sending the command, one
for reading the register (if ck_cond is set).
I have implemented the emulation in usb-storage with a special proto_handler,
and an unsual entry.

Introduce freezer-friendly wrappers around wait_event_interruptible() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), originally defined in <linux/wait.h>, to
be used in freezable kernel threads. Make some of the freezable kernel
threads use them.
This is necessary for the freezer to stop sending signals to kernel threads,
which is implemented in the next patch.

Attached is a very small patch (several comment lines) and a one-line
coded change) that allows for USB storage devices that are larger than
2TB.
At the company where I work we need such support, and one of my
co-workers, Jane Liu, pointed out that SCSI low-layer drivers need to
specify what size CDBs they accept. After looking through the code it
became obvious that the current USB Storage code accepted the default of
12-byte CDBs, so I changed it to accept 16-byte CDBs. This allows our
device to work.

This patch (as961) fixes a couple of bugs in the disconnect pathway of
usb-storage.
The first problem, which apparently has been around for a while
although nobody noticed it, shows up when an aborted command is still
pending when a disconnect occurs. The SCSI error-handler will
continue to wait in command_abort() until the us->notify completion is
signalled. Thus quiesce_and_remove_host() needs to signal it.
The second problem was introduced recently along with autosuspend
support. Since usb_stor_scan_thread() now calls
usb_autopm_put_interface() before exiting, we can't simply leave the
scanning thread running after a disconnect; we must wait until the
thread exits. This is solved by adding a new struct completion to the
private data structure. Fortuitously, it allows the removal of the
rather clunky mechanism used in the past to insure that all threads
have finished before the module is unloaded.

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

This patch (as923) makes usb-storage's control thread use
kthread_should_stop()/kthread_stop(). The scanning thread can't be
similarly converted until the core kthread implementation allows
threads to call do_exit().
The advantage of this change is that we can now be certain the control
thread has terminated before storage_disconnect() returns. This will
simplify the locking requirements when autosuspend support is added.

This patch (as918) introduces a new USB driver method: reset_resume.
It is called when a device needs to be reset as part of a resume
procedure (whether because of a device quirk or because of the
USB-Persist facility), thereby taking over a role formerly assigned to
the post_reset method. As a consequence, post_reset no longer needs
an argument indicating whether it is being called as part of a
reset-resume. This separation of functions makes the code clearer.
In addition, the pre_reset and post_reset method return types are
changed; they now must return an error code. The return value is
unused at present, but at some later time we may unbind drivers and
re-probe if they encounter an error during reset handling.
The existing pre_reset and post_reset methods in the usbhid,
usb-storage, and hub drivers are updated to match the new
requirements. For usbhid the post_reset routine is also used for
reset_resume (duplicate method pointers); for the other drivers a new
reset_resume routine is added. The change to hub.c looks bigger than
it really is, because mark_children_for_reset_resume() gets moved down
next to the new hub_reset_resume() routine.
A minor change to usb-storage makes the usb_stor_report_bus_reset()
routine acquire the host lock instead of requiring the caller to hold
it already.

This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.
The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore
a device that it would otherwise claim.
We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which
includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows
driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter
(by ejecting the virtual disc).
The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will
automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that
usb-storage does not claim the device.

This patch adds another usb-storage subdriver, which supports two fairly
old dual-XD/SmartMedia reader-writers (USB1.1 devices).
This driver was written by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> -- he notes
that he wrote this driver without specs, however a vendor-supplied GPL
driver for the previous generation of products ("sma03") did prove to be
quite useful, as did the sddr09 driver which also has to deal with
low-level physical block layout on SmartMedia.
The original patch has been reformed by me, as it clashed with the
libusual patches.
We really need to consolidate some of this common SmartMedia code, and

This patch is originally from Alan Stern (as557). It has been re-diffed
against a current tree, and I also corrected a minor merging error.
Some time ago we introduced a delay before device scanning, because many
devices do not like to receive SCSI commands right after enumeration.
Now it turns out there's a device that doesn't like to receive
Get-Max-LUN right after enumeration either. Accordingly this patch
delays the Get-Max-LUN request until the beginning of the scanning
procedure. This fixes Bugzilla entry #5010.
Three things are worth noting. First, I removed the locking code from
usb_stor_acquire_resources. It's not needed, because the locking is to
protect against disconnect events and acquire_resources is only called
during probe (so the disconnect routine can't be called). Second, I
initialized to 0 the buffer used for the Get-Max-LUN response. It's not
really necessary, but it will prevent random values from showing up in
the debugging log when the request fails. Third, I added a test against
the SINGLE_LUN flag. This will allow us to use the flag to indicate
Bulk-only devices that can't handle Get-Max-LUN.

This is patch as550 from Alan Stern.
Apparently someone changed the SCSI core so that it no longer holds the
host lock when doing a device or bus reset. usb-storage was updated at
the time, but the change was done carelessly. Some of the code depends
on that lock being held.
This patch reintroduces the host lock where needed and tries to clarify
the comments explaining why the lock is necessary. It also moves the
code that clears the TIMED_OUT and ABORTING bitflags so that it executes
as soon as the timed-out command has completed (and while the host lock
is held).

This patch started life as as534, and has been re-diffed against the latest
tree.
usb-storage has a small loophole, a window between the time queuecommand
accepts a new command and the time the control thread starts to execute
it. If disconnect is called during that window, the driver won't cancel
the pending command -- we've been relying on the SCSI core to cancel it
for us during host removal. But it's better for usb-storage to cancel
it; this avoids races and reduces reliance on the SCSI core.
Fortunately cancelling these commands is easy to do; the key is to do it
_before_ calling scsi_remove_host.

This patch started life as as533, and has been re-diffed against the
current tree.
Disconnect processing in usb-storage naturally divides into two parts:
one to quiesce the driver (make sure no commands are executing or
queued) and remove the host, and the other to deallocate all the USB and
non-USB resources. This patch creates two subroutines to handle those
two parts. Mostly it's just code movement, but there is one significant
change. If the scsi-scanning thread fails to initialize but the host
has successfully been added, we need to quiesce the driver before
removing the host. After all, it's possible that scanning could have
been initiated from somewhere else, such as userspace -- very low
probability, but it's easily handled by calling the new subroutine.

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

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!
