The USB-IF CV compliance tester is getting stricter, and it would
be valid for it to fail a mass-storage device that accepts an
invalid USB_BULK_RESET_REQUEST request. Although it doesn't do
that yet, let's be proactive and fix that now.

The situation up to this point meant that module.h was pretty
much everywhere, regardless of whether you asked for it or not.
We are fixing that, so give the USB folks who want it an actual
include of it.

There is a race, reproduced rarely if you unload the module
when host finishes mass storage device initialization (reading
partition table and so on): fsg_unbind() code first closes
lun files then waits for worker thread to finish its work, as
the result the thread may operate on already closed device
with an oops and backtrace:

<title>usb: gadget: storage: fix mass storage gadgets to work with Synopsys UDC</title>

<id>fe69676530f182bbb1fe0edd027e18751a1a2595</id>
<content type='text'>
The Synopsys USB device controller requires all OUT transfer request
lengths to be aligned to max packet size. The mass storage gadgets do
not meet this requirement for Super Speed. The gadgets already have a
function which performs this alignment for CBW packets, so use it for
data packets too.

The alternative would be to implement bounce buffers in the DWC3
driver, but that could have a significant impact on performance.

This version is based upon a more-correct patch written by Alan
Stern.

<title>usb: Provide usb_speed_string() function</title>

<content type='text'>
In a few places in the kernel, the code prints
a human-readable USB device speed (eg. "high speed").
This involves a switch statement sometimes wrapped
around in ({ ... }) block leading to code repetition.

To mitigate this issue, this commit introduces
usb_speed_string() function, which returns
a human-readable name of provided speed.

It also changes a few places switch was used to use
this new function.  This changes a bit the way the
speed is printed in few instances at the same time
standardising it.

FSG_NUM_BUFFERS is set to 2 as default.
Usually 2 buffers are enough to establish a good buffering pipeline.
The number may be increased in order to compensate a for bursty VFS
behaviour.

Here follows a description of system that may require more than
2 buffers.
 * CPU ondemand governor active
 * latency cost for wake up and/or frequency change
 * DMA for IO

Use case description.
 * Data transfer from MMC via VFS to USB.
 * DMA shuffles data from MMC and to USB.
 * The CPU wakes up every now and then to pass data in and out from VFS,
   which cause the bursty VFS behaviour.

Test set up
 * Running dd on the host reading from the mass storage device
 * cmdline: dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=4k count=$((256*100))
 * Caches are dropped on the host and on the device before each run

Measurements on a Snowball board with ondemand_governor active.

There may not be one optimal number for all boards. This is why
the number is added to Kconfig. If selecting USB_GADGET_DEBUG_FILES
this value may be set by a module parameter as well.

This patch (as1481) fixes a problem affecting g_file_storage and
g_mass_storage when running at SuperSpeed.  The two drivers currently
assume that the bulk-out maxpacket size can evenly divide the SCSI
block size, which is 512 bytes.  But SuperSpeed bulk endpoints have a
maxpacket size of 1024, so the assumption is no longer true.

This patch removes that assumption from the drivers, by getting rid of
a small optimization (they try to align VFS reads and writes on page
cache boundaries).  If a command's starting logical block address is
512 bytes below the end of a page, it's not okay to issue a USB
command for just those 512 bytes when the maxpacket size is 1024 -- it
would result in either babble (for an OUT transfer) or a short packet
(for an IN transfer).

Also, for backward compatibility, the test for writes extending beyond
the end of the backing storage has to be changed.  If the host tries
to do this, we should accept the data that fits in the backing storage
and ignore the rest.  Because the storage's end may not align with a
USB packet boundary, this means we may have to accept a USB OUT
transfer that extends beyond the end of the storage and then write out
only the part of the data that fits.
