2009-02-02USB: fix char-device disconnect handlingAlan Stern
commit 501950d846218ed80a776d2aae5aed9c8b92e778 upstream. This patch (as1198) fixes a conceptual bug: Somewhere along the line we managed to confuse USB class devices with USB char devices. As a result, the code to send a disconnect signal to userspace would not be built if both CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS and CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS were disabled. The usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() routine has been renamed to usbdev_remove() and it is now called whenever any USB device is removed, not just when a class device is unregistered. The notifier registration and unregistration calls are no longer conditionally compiled. And since the common removal code will always be called as part of the char device interface, there's no need to call it again as part of the usbfs interface; thus the invocation of usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() has been taken out of usbfs_remove_device().

2009-02-02USB: fix toggle mismatch in disable_endpoint pathsAlan Stern
commit ddeac4e75f2527a340f9dc655bde49bb2429b39b upstream. This patch (as1200) finishes some fixes that were left incomplete by an earlier patch. Although nobody has addressed this issue in the past, it turns out that we need to distinguish between two different modes of disabling and enabling endpoints. In one mode only the data structures in usbcore are affected, and in the other mode the host controller and device hardware states are affected as well. The earlier patch added an extra argument to the routines in the enable_endpoint pathways to reflect this difference. This patch adds corresponding arguments to the disable_endpoint pathways. Without this change, the endpoint toggle state can get out of sync between the host and the device. The exact mechanism depends on the details of the host controller (whether or not it stores its own copy of the toggle values).

2009-01-24USB: re-enable interface after driver unbindsAlan Stern
commit 2caf7fcdb8532045680f06b67b9e63f0c9613aaa upstream. This patch (as1197) fixes an error introduced recently. Since a significant number of devices can't handle Set-Interface requests, we no longer call usb_set_interface() when a driver unbinds from an interface, provided the interface is already in altsetting 0. However the interface still does get disabled, and the call to usb_set_interface() was the only thing re-enabling it. Since the interface doesn't get re-enabled, further attempts to use it fail. So the patch adds a call to usb_enable_interface() when a driver unbinds and the interface is in altsetting 0. For this to work right, the interface's endpoints have to be re-enabled but their toggles have to be left alone. Therefore an additional argument is added to usb_enable_endpoint() and usb_enable_interface(), a flag indicating whether or not the endpoint toggles should be reset. This is a forward-ported version of a patch which fixes Bugzilla #12301.

2008-08-21USB: Add new PM callback methods for USBAlan Stern
This patch (as1129) adds support for the new PM callbacks to usbcore. The new callbacks merely invoke the same old USB power management routines as the old ones did. A minor improvement is that the callbacks are present only in the "USB-device" device_type structure, rather than in the bus_type structure. This way they will be invoked only for USB devices, not for USB interfaces. The core USB PM routines automatically handle suspending and resuming interfaces along with their devices.

2008-07-21usbfs: send disconnect signals when device is unregisteredAlan Stern
USB device files are accessible in two ways: as files in usbfs and as character device nodes. The two paths are supposed to behave identically, but they don't. When the underlying USB device is unplugged, disconnect signals are sent to processes with open usbfs files (if they requested these signals) but not to processes with open device node files. This patch (as1104) fixes the bug by moving the disconnect-signalling code into a common subroutine which is called from both paths. Putting this subroutine in devio.c removes the only out-of-file reference to struct dev_state, and so the structure's declaration can be moved from usb.h into devio.c. Finally, the new subroutine performs one extra action: It kills all the outstanding async URBs. (I'd kill the outstanding synchronous URBs too, if there was any way to do it.) In the past this hasn't mattered much, because devices were unregistered from usbfs only when they were disconnected. But now the unregistration can also occur whenever devices are unbound from the usb_generic driver. At any rate, killing URBs when a device is unregistered from usbfs seems like a good thing to do.

2008-07-21USB: Force unbinding of drivers lacking reset_resume or other methodsAlan Stern
This patch (as1024) takes care of a FIXME issue: Drivers that don't have the necessary suspend, resume, reset_resume, pre_reset, or post_reset methods will be unbound and their interface reprobed when one of the unsupported events occurs. This is made slightly more difficult by the fact that bind operations won't work during a system sleep transition. So instead the code has to defer the operation until the transition ends.

2008-05-14USB: create attributes before sending ueventAlan Stern
This patch (as1087d) fixes a long-standing problem in usbcore: Device, interface, and endpoint attributes aren't added until _after_ the creation uevent has already been broadcast. Unfortunately there are a few attributes which cannot be created that early. The "descriptors" attribute is binary and so must be created separately. The power-management attributes can't be created until the dev/power/ group exists. And the interface string can vary from one altsetting to another, so it has to be created dynamically.

2007-10-12usb: introduce usb_authorize/deauthorize()Inaky Perez-Gonzalez
These USB API functions will do the full authorization/deauthorization to be used for a device. When authorized we effectively allow a configuration to be set. Reverse that when deauthorized. Effectively this means that we have to clean all the configuration descriptors on deauthorize and reload them when we authorized. We could do without throwing them out for wired devices, but for wireless, we can read them only after authenticating, and thus, when authorizing an authenticated device we would need to read them. So to simplify, always release them on deauthorize(), re-read them on authorize(). Also fix leak reported by Ragner Magalhaes; in usb_deauthorize_device(), bNumConfigurations was being set to zero before the for loop, and thus the different raw descriptors where never being freed.

2007-10-12USB: add ep->enableAlan Stern
This patch (as944) adds an explicit "enabled" field to the usb_host_endpoint structure and uses it in place of the current mechanism. This is merely a time-space tradeoff; it makes checking whether URBs may be submitted to an endpoint simpler. The existing mechanism is efficient when converting urb->pipe to an endpoint pointer, but it's not so efficient when urb->ep is used instead. As a side effect, the procedure for enabling an endpoint is now a little more complicated. The ad-hoc inline code in usb.c and hub.c for enabling ep0 is now replaced with calls to usb_enable_endpoint, which is no longer static.

2007-07-12USB: unify reset_resume and normal resumeAlan Stern
This patch (as919) unifies the code paths used for normal resume and for reset-resume. Earlier I had failed to note a section in the USB spec which requires the host to resume a suspended port before resetting it if the attached device is enabled for remote wakeup. Since the port has to be resumed anyway, we might as well reuse the existing code. The main changes are: usb_reset_suspended_device() is eliminated. usb_root_hub_lost_power() is moved down next to the hub_reset_resume() routine, to which it is logically related. finish_port_resume() does a port reset() if the device's reset_resume flag is set. usb_port_resume() doesn't check whether the port is initially enabled if this is a USB-Persist sort of resume. Code to perform the port reset is added to the resume pathway for the non-CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND case.

2007-07-12USB: remove __usb_port_suspendAlan Stern
This patch (as915b) combines the public routine usb_port_suspend() and the private routine __usb_port_suspend() into a single function.

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!

2007-04-27USB: make usbdevices export their device nodes instead of using a separate classKay Sievers
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.

2007-04-27USB: separate autosuspend from external suspendAlan Stern
This patch (as866) adds new entry points for external USB device suspend and resume requests, as opposed to internally-generated autosuspend or autoresume. It also changes the existing remote-wakeup code paths to use the new routines, since remote wakeup is not the same as autoresume. As part of the change, it turns out to be necessary to do remote wakeup of root hubs from a workqueue. We had been using khubd, but it does autoresume rather than an external resume. Using the ksuspend_usb_wq workqueue for this purpose seemed a logical choice. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

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.

2006-09-27usbcore: track whether interfaces are suspendedAlan Stern
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.

2006-09-27usbcore: resume device resume recursionAlan Stern
This patch (as717b) removes the existing recursion in hub resume code: Resuming a hub will no longer automatically resume the devices attached to the hub. At the same time, it adds one level of recursion: Suspending a USB device will automatically suspend all the device's interfaces. Failure at an intermediate stage will cause all the already-suspended interfaces to be resumed. Attempts to suspend or resume an interface by itself will do nothing, although they won't return an error. Thus the regular system-suspend and system-resume procedures should continue to work as before; only runtime PM will be affected. The patch also removes the code that tests state of the interfaces before suspending a device. It's no longer needed, since everything gets suspended together.

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.

2006-09-27usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and removeAlan Stern
The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open, release, and remove. Release vs. remove is okay because they both acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one. All three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not run concurrently. Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine. Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL. But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any special locking. Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in the release and remove routines, which the code does not do. Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file nodes. Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for userspace to open the other. So simple locking around the individual remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain. Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private mutex for the purpose. Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain doesn't seem like a good idea.

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: reorg some functions out of the main usb.c fileGreg Kroah-Hartman
This will make the dynamic-id stuff easier to do, as it will be self-contained. No logic was changed at all. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-10-28[PATCH] usbcore: Fix handling of sysfs strings and other attributesAlan Stern
This patch (as592) makes a few small improvements to the way device strings are handled, and it fixes some bugs in a couple of other sysfs attribute routines. (Look at show_configuration_string() to see what I mean.) Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-10-28[PATCH] USB: add notifier functions to the USB core for devices and bussesGreg Kroah-Hartman
This should let us get rid of all of the different hooks in the USB core for when something has changed. Also, some other parts of the kernel have wanted to know this kind of information at times. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-10-28[PATCH] stop exporting two functionsDavid Brownell
The way we're looking at USB suspend lately doesn't expect drivers to call usb_suspend_device() or usb_resume_device() directly; that'll be implicit when no interfaces are in use. This patch removes those APIs from visibility outside usbcore.
