USB: add IAD support to usbfs and sysfs

2007-07-12T23:34:40+00:00

USB_IAD: Adds support for USB Interface Association Descriptors.

This patch adds support to the USB host stack for parsing, storing, and
displaying Interface Association Descriptors. In /proc/bus/usb/devices
lines starting with A: show the fields in an IAD. In sysfs if an
interface on a USB device is referenced by an IAD the following files
will be added to the sysfs directory for that interface:
iad_bFirstInterface, iad_bInterfaceCount, iad_bFunctionClass, and
iad_bFunctionSubClass, iad_bFunctionProtocol

USB: Add URB_FREE_BUFFER flag and the logic behind it

2007-07-12T23:34:38+00:00

USB: Add URB_FREE_BUFFER flag for freeing the transfer buffer

In some cases it is not needed that the driver keeps track of the
transfer buffer of an URB. It can be simply freed along with the
URB itself when the reference count goes down to zero. The new
flag URB_FREE_BUFFER enables this behavior.

USB: add power/persist device attribute

2007-07-12T23:34:30+00:00

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 reset_resume method

2007-07-12T23:34:30+00:00

This patch (as918) introduces a new USB driver method: reset_resume.
It is called when a device needs to be reset as part of a resume
procedure (whether because of a device quirk or because of the
USB-Persist facility), thereby taking over a role formerly assigned to
the post_reset method.  As a consequence, post_reset no longer needs
an argument indicating whether it is being called as part of a
reset-resume.  This separation of functions makes the code clearer.

In addition, the pre_reset and post_reset method return types are
changed; they now must return an error code.  The return value is
unused at present, but at some later time we may unbind drivers and
re-probe if they encounter an error during reset handling.

The existing pre_reset and post_reset methods in the usbhid,
usb-storage, and hub drivers are updated to match the new
requirements.  For usbhid the post_reset routine is also used for
reset_resume (duplicate method pointers); for the other drivers a new
reset_resume routine is added.  The change to hub.c looks bigger than
it really is, because mark_children_for_reset_resume() gets moved down
next to the new hub_reset_resume() routine.

A minor change to usb-storage makes the usb_stor_report_bus_reset()
routine acquire the host lock instead of requiring the caller to hold
it already.

USB: add USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO for device matching

2007-07-12T23:29:48+00:00

Recently, the USB device matching code stopped matching generic interface
matches against devices with vendor-specific device class values.

Some drivers now need to explicitly match USB device ID's (in addition to
generic interface info) to retain the same behaviour as before. This new macro,
suggested by Alan Stern, makes the explicit device/interface matching a little
simpler for those users.

USB: add USB-Persist facility

2007-07-12T23:29:47+00:00

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!
