o The "real" usb-devices export now a device node which can
populate /dev/bus/usb.
o The usb_device class is optional now and can be disabled in the
kernel config. Major/minor of the "real" devices and class devices
are the same.
o The environment of the usb-device event contains DEVNUM and BUSNUM to
help udev and get rid of the ugly udev rule we need for the class
devices.
o The usb-devices and usb-interfaces share the same bus, so I used
the new "struct device_type" to let these devices identify
themselves. This also removes the current logic of using a magic
platform-pointer.
The name of the device_type is also added to the environment
which makes it easier to distinguish the different kinds of devices
on the same subsystem.
It looks like this:
add@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
ACTION=add
DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
SUBSYSTEM=usb
SEQNUM=1533
MAJOR=189
MINOR=131
DEVTYPE=usb_device
PRODUCT=46d/c03e/2000
TYPE=0/0/0
BUSNUM=002
DEVNUM=004
This udev rule works as a replacement for usb_device class devices:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", \
NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644"
Updated patch, which needs the device_type patches in Greg's tree.
I also got a bugzilla assigned for this. :)

This patch (as862) fixes a couple of bugs in the way usbcore handles
intervals for interrupt URBs. usb_interrupt_msg (and usb_bulk_msg for
backward compatibility) don't set the interval correctly for
high-speed devices. proc_do_submiturb() doesn't set it correctly when
a bulk URB is submitted to an interrupt endpoint.

Some USB devices do have a configuration 0, in contravention of the
USB spec. Normally 0 is supposed to indicate that a device is
unconfigured.
While we can't change what the device is doing, we can change usbcore.
This patch (as852) allows usb_set_configuration() to accept a config
value of -1 as indicating that the device should be unconfigured. The
request actually sent to the device will still contain 0 as the value.
But even if the device does have a configuration 0, dev->actconfig
will be set to NULL and dev->state will be set to USB_STATE_ADDRESS.
Without some sort of special-case handling like this, there is no way
to unconfigure these non-compliant devices.

When sending CONTROL URB's using the usual CONTROL ioctl, logging works
fine, but when sending them via SUBMITURB, like VMWare does, the
control fields are not logged. This patch fixes that.
I didn't see any major changes to devio.c recently, so this patch should apply
cleanly to even the latest kernel. I can resubmit if it doesn't.

Thanks to several earlier patches, usb_autosuspend_device() and
usb_autoresume_device() are never called with a second argument other
than 1. This patch (as819) removes the now-redundant argument.
It also consolidates some common code between those two routines,
putting it into a new subroutine called usb_autopm_do_device(). And
it includes a sizable kerneldoc update for the affected functions.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

(cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)
The problem with remembering a user space process by its pid is that it is
possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur.
Converting to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way for
implementing a pid namespace.
Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid rename
kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid and have the new version take
a struct pid.

This patch (as711b) is a revised version of an earlier submission. It
modifies the usbfs code to detect when a device has been unregistered from
usbfs, even if the device is still connected. Although this can't happen
now, it will be able to happen after the upcoming changes to usb_generic.
Nobody objected to this patch when it was submitted before, so it should
be okay to apply this version. The revision is merely to take into
account the changes introduced by as723, which touches the same driver.

The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open,
release, and remove. Release vs. remove is okay because they both
acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one. All
three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not
run concurrently.
Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by
explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine.
Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary
because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL.
But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not
char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any
special locking. Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in
the release and remove routines, which the code does not do.
Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is
accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file
nodes. Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for
userspace to open the other. So simple locking around the individual
remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire
usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain.
Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private
mutex for the purpose. Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain
doesn't seem like a good idea.

The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).
This patch:
The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

This reverts commit 786dc1d3d7.
As Al so eloquently points out, the patch is crap. The old code was fine,
the new code was bogus.
It never dereferenced a user pointer, the "->" operator was to an array
member, which gives the _address_ of the member (in user space), not an
actual dereference at all.
