Linus Torvalds 71e4634e00 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "The highlights this round include:

   - Introduce configfs support for unlocked configfs_depend_item()
     (krzysztof + andrezej)
   - Conversion of usb-gadget target driver to new function registration
     interface (andrzej + sebastian)
   - Enable qla2xxx FC target mode support for Extended Logins (himansu +
     giridhar)
   - Enable qla2xxx FC target mode support for Exchange Offload (himansu +
     giridhar)
   - Add qla2xxx FC target mode irq affinity notification + selective
     command queuing.  (quinn + himanshu)
   - Fix iscsi-target deadlock in se_node_acl configfs deletion (sagi +
     nab)
   - Convert se_node_acl configfs deletion + se_node_acl->queue_depth to
     proper se_session->sess_kref + target_get_session() usage.  (hch +
     sagi + nab)
   - Fix long-standing race between se_node_acl->acl_kref get and
     get_initiator_node_acl() lookup.  (hch + nab)
   - Fix target/user block-size handling, and make sure netlink reaches
     all network namespaces (sheng + andy)

  Note there is an outstanding bug-fix series for remote I_T nexus port
  TMR LUN_RESET has been posted and still being tested, and will likely
  become post -rc1 material at this point"

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
