* USB: add asynchronous autosuspend/autoresume supportAlan Stern2009-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1160b) adds support routines for asynchronous autosuspend and autoresume, with accompanying documentation updates. There already are several potential users of this interface, and others are likely to arise as autosuspend support becomes more widespread.

| * USB: fix comment about endianness of descriptorsPhil Endecott2008-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a comment and clarifies the documentation about the endianness of descriptors. The current policy is that descriptors will be little-endian at the API even on big-endian systems; however the /proc/bus/usb API predates this policy and presents descriptors with some multibyte fields byte-swapped.

* | uwb: add basic radio managerDavid Vrabel2008-11-19
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* usb: auerswald: remove driver (obsolete)Wolfgang Mües2008-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed.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>

* USB: use reset_resume when normal resume failsAlan Stern2008-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* usb gadget: use new serial coreDavid Brownell2008-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* USB: check serial-number string after device resetAlan Stern2008-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* USB: usb/dma doc updatesDavid Brownell2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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?)

* USB: add power/persist device attributeAlan Stern2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* USB: add USB-Persist facilityAlan Stern2007-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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!

* USB: add binary API to usbmonPete Zaitcev2007-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
