commit 6ff10464096540e14d7575a72c50d0316d003714 upstream.

The usbfs driver manages a list of completed asynchronous URBs.  But
it is too eager to free the entries on this list: destroy_async() gets
called whenever an interface is unbound or a device is removed, and it
deallocates the outstanding struct async entries for all URBs on that
interface or device.  This is wrong; the user program should be able
to reap an URB any time after it has completed, regardless of whether
or not the interface is still bound or the device is still present.

This patch (as1222) moves the code for deallocating the completed list
entries from destroy_async() to usbdev_release().  The outstanding
entries won't be freed until the user program has closed the device
file, thereby eliminating any possibility that the remaining URBs
might still be reaped.

This fixes a bug in which a program can hang in the USBDEVFS_REAPURB
ioctl when the device is unplugged.

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().

USB should not be having it's own printk macros, so remove err() and
use the system-wide standard of dev_err() wherever possible.  In the
few places that will not work out, use a basic printk().

This patch (as1148) adds a new "snoop" message to usbfs when a device
file is opened, identifying the process responsible.  This comes in
extremely handy when trying to determine which program is doing some
unwanted USB access.

<title>sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minor</title>

<id>e105b8bfc769b0545b6f0f395179d1e43cbee822</id>
<content type='text'>
Why?:
There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs
attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the
device or the path.  For example what is the sysfs path for
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK?  With this change a call to
stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that
/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.

What are the alternatives?:
1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce
   the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this
   seems counter productive.

2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a
   udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited
   environment like an initramfs.

3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

Fix pointer/int cast in USB devio code, and thus avoid a compiler warning.

A void* data argument passed to bus_find_device() and thence to match_devt()
is used to carry a 32-bit datum.  However, casting directly between a u32 and
a pointer is not permitted - there must be an intermediate cast via (unsigned)
long.

This was introduced by the following patch:

	    usbfs: simplify the lookup-by-minor routines

	    This patch (as1105) simplifies the lookup-by-minor-number code in
	    usbfs.  Instead of passing the minor number to the callback, which
	    must then reconstruct the entire dev_t value, the patch passes the

This patch (as1107) fixes a small bug in the usbfs registration and
unregistration code.  It avoids leaving an error value stored in the
device's usb_classdev field and it avoids trying to unregister a NULL
pointer.  (It also fixes a rather extreme overuse of whitespace.)
