USB: serial: don't call release without attach 2009-10-09T20:52:05+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2009-10-09T16:43:12+00:00 a4720c650b68a5fe7faed2edeb0ad12645f7ae63 This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core. If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach method. This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an invalid memory access. The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has been called.

USB: use kfifo to buffer usb-generic serial writes 2009-09-23T13:46:34+00:00 David VomLehn dvomlehn@cisco.com 2009-08-28T19:54:27+00:00 8e8dce065088833fc418bfa5fbf035cb0726c04c When do_output_char() attempts to write a carriage return/line feed sequence, it first checks to see how much buffer room is available. If there are at least two characters free, it will write the carriage return/line feed with two calls to tty_put_char(). It calls the tty_operation functions write() for devices that don't support the tty_operations function put_char(). If the USB generic serial device's write URB is not in use, it will return the buffer size when asked how much room is available. The write() of the carriage return will cause it to mark the write URB busy, so the subsequent write() of the line feed will be ignored. This patch uses the kfifo infrastructure to implement a write FIFO that accurately returns the amount of space available in the buffer.

USB: usb-serial: replace shutdown with disconnect, release 2009-06-16T04:44:47+00:00 Alan Stern stern@rowland.harvard.edu 2009-06-02T15:53:55+00:00 f9c99bb8b3a1ec81af68d484a551307326c2e933 This patch (as1254) splits up the shutdown method of usb_serial_driver into a disconnect and a release method. The problem is that the usb-serial core was calling shutdown during disconnect handling, but drivers didn't expect it to be called until after all the open file references had been closed. The result was an oops when the close method tried to use memory that had been deallocated by shutdown.

USB: serial: usb_debug,usb_generic_serial: implement sysrq and serial break 2009-06-16T04:44:45+00:00 Jason Wessel jason.wessel@windriver.com 2009-05-11T20:24:09+00:00 98fcb5f78165b8a3d93870ad7afd4d9ebbb8b43a The usb_debug driver was modified to implement serial break handling by using a "magic" data packet comprised of the sequence: 0x00 0xff 0x01 0xfe 0x00 0xfe 0x01 0xff When the tty layer requests a serial break the usb_debug driver sends the magic packet. On the receiving side the magic packet is thrown away or a sysrq is activated depending on what kernel .config options have been set. The generic serial driver was modified as well as the usb serial headers to generically implement sysrq processing in the same way the non usb uart based drivers implement the sysrq handling. This will allow other usb serial devices to implement sysrq handling as desired.
