This patch (as1010) was written by both Kay Sievers and me. It solves
the problem of duplicated keys in USB uevent structures by refactoring
the uevent subroutines, taking advantage of the way the hotplug core
calls uevent handlers for the device's bus and for the device's type.
Keys needed for both USB-device and USB-interface events are added in
usb_uevent(), which is the bus handler. Keys appropriate only for
USB-device or USB-interface events are added in usb_dev_uevent() or
usb_if_uevent() respectively, the type handlers.
In addition, unnecessary tests for NULL pointers are removed as are
duplicated debugging log statements.

This patch (as1009) solves the problem of multiple registrations for
USB sysfs files in a more satisfying way than the existing code. It
simply adds a flag to keep track of whether or not the files have been
created; that way the files can be created or removed as needed.

This patch (as1005) fixes a rather subtle problem. When
usb_set_configuration() registers the interfaces and their files in
sysfs, it doesn't expect those files to exist already. But when an
interface is registered, its driver may call usb_set_interface() and
thereby cause the sysfs files to be created. The result is an error
when usb_set_configuration() goes on to create those same files again.
The (not-so-great) solution is to have usb_set_configuration() remove
any existing files before creating them.

This patch (as988) breaks usb_hcd_endpoint_disable() apart into two
routines. The first, usb_hcd_flush_endpoint() does the -ESHUTDOWN
unlinking of all URBs in the endpoint's queue and waits for them to
complete. The second, usb_hcd_disable_endpoint() -- renamed for
better grammatical style -- merely calls the HCD's endpoint_disable
method. The changeover is easy because the routine currently has only
one caller.
This separation of function will be exploited in the following patch:
When a device is suspended, the core will be able to cancel all
outstanding URBs for that device while leaving the HCD's
endpoint-related data structures intact for later.
As an added benefit, HCDs no longer need to check for existing URBs in
their endpoint_disable methods. It is now guaranteed that there will
be none.

This patch (as955) prevents the interface-related sysfs files and
endpoint pseudo-devices from being deleted and recreated when a call
to usb_set_interface() specifies the current altsetting. Since the
altsetting doesn't get changed, there's no need to do anything.
Furthermore, avoiding changes to the endpoint devices will be
necessary in the future. This code is called from usb_reset_device(),
which gets invoked for reset-resume processing, but upcoming changes
to the PM and driver cores will make it impossible to register devices
while a suspend/resume transition is in progress. Since we don't need
to re-register those endpoint devices anyhow, it's best to skip the
whole thing.

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.

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.

Some USB devices do have a configuration 0, in contravention of the
USB spec. Normally 0 is supposed to indicate that a device is
unconfigured.
While we can't change what the device is doing, we can change usbcore.
This patch (as852) allows usb_set_configuration() to accept a config
value of -1 as indicating that the device should be unconfigured. The
request actually sent to the device will still contain 0 as the value.
But even if the device does have a configuration 0, dev->actconfig
will be set to NULL and dev->state will be set to USB_STATE_ADDRESS.

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 (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.
