2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: zd1201: make sysfs device symlinkNathan Lynch
Noticed that my zd1201 adapter isn't "seen" by hal and NetworkManager. The problem seems to be that unlike other network device drivers I checked, zd1201 does not do a SET_NETDEV_DEV(), which makes it so a "device" symlink is created under /sys/class/net/wlan0. With the following patch the device symlink shows up, and now I am happily using NetworkManager to control the adapter: $ ls -l /sys/class/net/wlan0 total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 18 13:42 address -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 18 13:42 addr_len -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 18 13:42 broadcast -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 18 13:42 carrier lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 18 13:42 device -> ../../../devices/pci0001:10/0001:10:1b.1/usb4/4-1 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Dec 18 13:42 features Signed-off-by: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: replace __setup("nousb") with __module_param_callPete Zaitcev
Fedora users complain that passing "nousbstorage" to the installer causes the rest of the USB support to disappear. The installer uses kernel command line as a way to pass options through Syslinux. The problem stems from the use of strncmp() in obsolete_checksetup(). I used __module_param_call() instead of module_param because I wanted to preserve the old syntax in grub.conf, and it's the only macro which allows to remove the prefix. The fix is tested to accept the option "nousb" correctly now. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB Storage: add alauda supportMatthew Dharm
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 get together with the MTD guys to share it with them as well.

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: Don't assume root-hub resume succeedsAlan Stern
This patch (as614) makes a small change to the part of the hub driver responsible for remote wakeup of root hubs.

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: usbserial: race-condition fix.Luiz Fernando Capitulino
There is a race-condition in usb-serial driver that can be triggered if a processes does 'port->tty->driver_data = NULL' in serial_close() while other processes is in kernel-space about to call serial_ioctl() on the same port. This happens because a process can open the device while there is another one closing it. The patch below fixes that by adding a semaphore to ensure that no process will open the device while another process is closing it. Note that we can't use spinlocks here, since serial_open() and serial_close() can sleep.

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: Disconnect children during hub unbindAlan Stern
This patch (as606b) is an updated version of my earlier patch to disconnect children from a hub device when the hub driver is unbound. Thanks to the changes in the driver core locking, we now know that the entire hub device (and not just the interface) is locked whenever the hub driver's disconnect method runs. Hence it is safe to disconnect the child device structures immediately instead of deferring the job. The earlier version of the patch neglected to disable the hub's ports. We don't want to forget that; otherwise we'd end up with live devices using addresses that have been recycled. This update adds the necessary code.

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. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
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>
