2010-03-02USB: convert to the runtime PM frameworkAlan Stern
This patch (as1329) converts the USB stack over to the PM core's runtime PM framework. This involves numerous changes throughout usbcore, especially to hub.c and driver.c. Perhaps the most notable change is that CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND now depends on CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME instead of CONFIG_PM. Several fields in the usb_device and usb_interface structures are no longer needed. Some code which used to depend on CONFIG_USB_PM now depends on CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND (requiring some rearrangement of header files). The only visible change in behavior should be that following a system sleep (resume from RAM or resume from hibernation), autosuspended USB devices will be resumed just like everything else. They won't remain suspended. But if they aren't in use then they will naturally autosuspend again in a few seconds.

2010-03-02USB: implement usb_enable_autosuspendAlan Stern
This patch (as1326) adds usb_enable_autosuspend() and usb_disable_autosuspend() routines for use by drivers. If a driver knows that its device can handle suspends and resumes correctly, it can enable autosuspend all by itself. This is equivalent to the user writing "auto" to the device's power/level attribute. The implementation differs slightly from what it used to be. Now autosuspend is disabled simply by doing usb_autoresume_device() (to increment the usage counter) and enabled by doing usb_autosuspend_device() (to decrement the usage counter). The set_level() attribute method is updated to use the new routines, and the USB Power-Management documentation is updated. The patch adds a usb_enable_autosuspend() call to the hub driver's probe routine, allowing the special-case code for hubs in quirks.c to be removed.

2010-03-02USB: check the endpoint type against the pipe typeAlan Stern
This patch (as1316) adds some error checking to usb_submit_urb(). It's conditional on CONFIG_USB_DEBUG, so it won't affect normal users. The new check makes sure that the actual type of the endpoint described by urb->pipe agrees with the type encoded in the pipe value. The USB error code documentation is updated to include the code returned by the new check, and the usbfs SUBMITURB handler is updated to use the correct pipe type when legacy user code tries to submit a bulk transfer to an interrupt endpoint.

2009-12-11USB: prepare for changover to Runtime PM frameworkAlan Stern
This patch (as1303) revises the USB Power Management infrastructure to make it compatible with the new driver-model Runtime PM framework: Drivers are no longer allowed to access intf->pm_usage_cnt directly; the PM framework manages its own usage counters. usb_autopm_set_interface() is eliminated, because it directly sets intf->pm_usage_cnt. usb_autopm_enable() and usb_autopm_disable() are eliminated, because they call usb_autopm_set_interface(). usb_autopm_get_interface_no_resume() and usb_autopm_put_interface_no_suspend() are added. They correspond to pm_runtime_get_noresume() and pm_runtime_put_noidle() in the PM framework. The power/level attribute no longer accepts "suspend", only "on" and "auto". The PM framework doesn't allow devices to be forced into a suspended mode. The hub driver contains the only code that violates the new guidelines. It is updated to use the new interface routines instead. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-12-11USB: remove the auto_pm flagAlan Stern
This patch (as1302) removes the auto_pm flag from struct usb_device.

This patch fixes a comment and clarifies the documentation about the endianness of descriptors.

2008-11-19uwb: add basic radio managerDavid Vrabel
The UWB radio manager coordinates the use of the radio between the PALs that may be using it. PALs request use of the radio with uwb_radio_start() and the radio manager will start beaconing if its not already doing so. When the last PAL has called uwb_radio_stop() beaconing will be stopped. In the future, the radio manager will have a more sophisticated channel selection algorithm, probably following the Channel Selection Policy from the WiMedia Alliance when it is finalized. For now, channel 9 (BG1, TFC1) is selected. The user may override the channel selected by the radio manager and may force the radio to stop beaconing. The WUSB Host Controller PAL makes use of this and there are two new debug PAL commands that can be used for testing. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@csr.com>

2008-08-13usb: auerswald: remove driver (obsolete)Wolfgang Mües
This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel 2.6.26. This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL, the demand of ISDN support is getting very low. Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the auerswald web site. So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang@iksw-muees.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2008-07-21USB: use reset_resume when normal resume failsAlan Stern
This patch (as1109b) makes USB-Persist more resilient to errors. With the current code, if a normal resume fails, it's an unrecoverable error. With the patch, if a normal resume fails (and if the device is enabled for USB-Persist) then a reset-resume is tried. This fixes the problem reported in Bugzilla #10977.

2008-07-21usb gadget: use new serial coreDavid Brownell
Teach "gadget serial" to use the new abstracted (and bugfixed) TTY glue, and remove all the orignal tangled-up code. Update the documentation accordingly. This is a net object code shrink and cleanup; it should make it a lot easier to see how the TTY glue should accomodate updates to the TTY layer, be bugfixed, etc. Notable behavior changes include: it can now support getty even when there's no USB connection; it fits properly into the mdev/udev world; and RX handling is better (throttling works, and low latency). Configurations with scripts setting up the /dev/ttygserial device node (with "experimental" major number) may want to change that to be a symlink pointing to the /dev/ttyGS0 file, as a migration aid; else, just switch entirely over to mdev/udev.

This patch (as1048) extends the descriptor checking after a device is reset.

As a consequence, the kmalloc() call in usb_string() is now on the error-handling pathway for usb-storage. Hence its allocation type is changed to GFO_NOIO.

2007-07-12USB: usb/dma doc updatesDavid Brownell
This patch updates some of the documentation about DMA buffer management for USB, and ways to avoid extra copying. Our understanding of the issues has improved over time. - Most drivers should *avoid* the dma-coherent allocators. There are a few exceptions (like the HID driver). - Some methods are currently commented out; it seems folk writing USB drivers aren't doing performance tuning at that level yet. - Just avoid highmem; there's no good way to pass an "I can do highmem DMA" capability through a driver stack. This is easy, everything already avoids highmem. But it'd be nice if x86_32 systems with much physical memory could use it directly with network adapters and mass storage devices. (Patch, anyone?)

2007-07-12USB: add power/persist device attributeAlan Stern
This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the power/persist device attribute. The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared. Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before. The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and there are corresponding documentation updates.

2007-07-12USB: add USB-Persist facilityAlan Stern
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!
