This patch (as877) adds a "last_busy" field to struct usb_device, for
use by the autosuspend framework. Now if an autosuspend call comes at
a time when the device isn't busy but hasn't yet been idle for long
enough, the timer can be set to exactly the desired value. And we
will be ready to handle things like HID drivers, which can't maintain
a useful usage count and must rely on the time-of-last-use to decide
when to autosuspend.
The patch also makes some related minor improvements:
Move the calls to the autosuspend condition-checking routine
into usb_suspend_both(), which is the only place where it
really matters.
If the autosuspend timer is already running, don't stop
and restart it.
Replace immediate returns with gotos so that the optional
debugging ouput won't be bypassed.
If autoresume is disabled but the device is already awake,
don't return an error for an autoresume call.
Don't try to autoresume a device if it isn't suspended.
(Yes, this undercuts the previous change -- so sue me.)
Don't duplicate existing code in the autosuspend work routine.
Fix the kerneldoc in usb_autopm_put_interface(): If an
autoresume call fails, the usage counter is left unchanged.

o The "real" usb-devices export now a device node which can
populate /dev/bus/usb.
o The usb_device class is optional now and can be disabled in the
kernel config. Major/minor of the "real" devices and class devices
are the same.
o The environment of the usb-device event contains DEVNUM and BUSNUM to
help udev and get rid of the ugly udev rule we need for the class
devices.
o The usb-devices and usb-interfaces share the same bus, so I used
the new "struct device_type" to let these devices identify
themselves. This also removes the current logic of using a magic
platform-pointer.
The name of the device_type is also added to the environment
which makes it easier to distinguish the different kinds of devices
on the same subsystem.
It looks like this:
add@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
ACTION=add
DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
SUBSYSTEM=usb
SEQNUM=1533
MAJOR=189
MINOR=131
DEVTYPE=usb_device
PRODUCT=46d/c03e/2000
TYPE=0/0/0
BUSNUM=002
DEVNUM=004
This udev rule works as a replacement for usb_device class devices:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", \
NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644"
Updated patch, which needs the device_type patches in Greg's tree.
I also got a bugzilla assigned for this. :)

This patch (as874) adds another piece to the user-visible part of the
USB autosuspend interface. The new power/level sysfs attribute allows
users to force the device on (with autosuspend off), force the device
to sleep (with autoresume off), or return to normal automatic operation.

This patch (as859) makes the default USB autosuspend delay a module
parameter of usbcore. By setting the delay value at boot time, users
will be able to prevent the system from autosuspending devices which
for some reason can't handle it.
The patch also stores the autosuspend delay as a per-device value. A
later patch will allow the user to change the value, tailoring the
delay for each individual device. A delay value of 0 will prevent
autosuspend.

This patch (as841) removes from usbcore a couple of support routines
meant to help with bandwidth allocation. With the changes to uhci-hcd
in the previous patch, these routines are no longer used anywhere.
Also removed is the CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH option; it no longer does
anything and is no longer needed since the HCDs now handle bandwidth
issues correctly.

This adds support for dynamic usb ids to the usb serial core. The file

This patch (as818b) simplifies autosuspend processing by keeping track
of the number of unsuspended children of each USB hub. This will
permit us to avoid a good deal of unnecessary work all the time; we
will no longer have to create a bunch of workqueue entries to carry
out autosuspend requests, only to have them fail because one of the
hub's children isn't suspended.
The basic idea is simple. There already is a usage counter in the
usb_device structure for preventing autosuspends. The patch just
increments that counter for every unsuspended child. There's only one
tricky part: When a device disconnects we need to remember whether it
was suspended at the time (leave the counter alone) or not (decrement
the counter).

We have no benefits of having the usb_endpoint_* functions as functions,
but making them inline saves text and data segment sizes:
text data bss dec hex filename
14893634 3108770 1108840 19111244 1239d4c vmlinux.func
14893185 3108566 1108840 19110591 1239abf vmlinux.inline
This is the result of a 2.6.19-rc3 kernel compiled with GCC 4.1.1 without
CONFIG_MODULES, CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, CONFIG_REGPARM options set.
USB support is fully enabled (while most of the other drivers are not),
and that kernel has most of the USB code ported to use the endpoint
functions.
That happens because a call to those functions are expensive (in terms
of bytes), while the function's size is smaller or have the same 'size' of
the call.

Current Wireless USB host hardware (Intel i1480 for example) allows up
to 22 devices to connect, thus bringing up the max number of children
in the WUSB Host Controller to 22 'fake' ports. Upcoming hardware
might raise that limit.
Makes almost no difference to go to 31, as the bit arrays are
byte-aligned (plus an extra bit in general), so 22 bits fit in 4 bytes
as 31 do.
As well, the only other array that depends on USB_MAXCHILDREN is
'struct usb_hub->indicator'. By declaring it 'u8' instead of 'enum
hub_led_mode', we reduce the size of each entry from 4 bytes (in i386)
to 1, which will add as we when are doubling USB_MAXCHILDREN
(with 16 the size of that array is 64 bytes, with 31 would be 128; by
using u8 that goes down to 31 bytes).

Fix up for make allyesconfig.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

This patch (as739) adds the basic infrastructure for USB autosuspend
and autoresume. The main features are:
PM usage counters added to struct usb_device and struct
usb_interface, indicating whether it's okay to autosuspend
them or they are currently in use.
Flag added to usb_device indicating whether the current
suspend/resume operation originated from outside or as an
autosuspend/autoresume.
Flag added to usb_driver indicating whether the driver
supports autosuspend. If not, no device bound to the driver
will be autosuspended.
Mutex added to usb_device for protecting PM operations.
Unlike the device semaphore, the locking rule for the pm_mutex
is that you must acquire the locks going _up_ the device tree.
New routines handling autosuspend/autoresume requests for
interfaces and devices.
Suspend and resume requests are propagated up the device tree
(but not outside the USB subsystem).
work_struct added to usb_device, for carrying out delayed
autosuspend requests.
Autoresume added (and autosuspend prevented) during probe and
disconnect.

As part of the ongoing program to flatten out the HCD bus-glue layer,
this patch (as771b) eliminates the hcpriv, release, and kref fields
from struct usb_bus. hcpriv and release were not being used for
anything worthwhile, and kref has been moved into the enclosing
usb_hcd structure.
Along with those changes, the patch gets rid of usb_bus_get and
usb_bus_put, replacing them with usb_get_hcd and usb_put_hcd.
The one interesting aspect is that the dev_set_drvdata call was
removed from usb_put_hcd, where it clearly doesn't belong. This means
the driver private data won't get reset to NULL. It shouldn't cause
any problems, since the private data is undefined when no driver is
bound.

Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking
whether intf is suspended. This is not a reliable technique because
that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore. This patch (as718b)
adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are
suspended and which aren't.
At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces
will be suspended along with their devices. It turns out there are a
couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as
while processing a remote-wakeup request.

This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe. To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper. This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

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.
