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.

2008-04-24USB: check serial-number string after device resetAlan Stern
This patch (as1048) extends the descriptor checking after a device is reset. Now the SerialNumber string descriptor is compared to its old value, in addition to the device and configuration descriptors. 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.

2008-04-24USB: remove CONFIG_USB_PERSIST settingAlan Stern
This patch (as1047) removes the USB_PERSIST Kconfig option, enabling it permanently. It also prevents the power/persist attribute from being created for hub devices; there's no point in having it since USB-PERSIST is always turned on for hubs.

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!

2007-02-07USB: add binary API to usbmonPete Zaitcev
This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios. The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1) worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/ and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap. This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

2006-09-27USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete)Pete Zaitcev
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier, without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately". The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but it's not always available. I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb"). Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.
