Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "This series contains HCH's changes to absorb configfs attribute ->show() + ->store() function pointer usage from it's original tree-wide consumers, into common configfs code. It includes usb-gadget, target w/ drivers, netconsole and ocfs2 changes to realize the improved simplicity, that now renders the original include/target/configfs_macros.h CPP magic for fabric drivers and others, unnecessary and obsolete. And with common code in place, new configfs attributes can be added easier than ever before. Note, there are further improvements in-flight from other folks for v4.5 code in configfs land, plus number of target fixes for post -rc1 code" In the meantime, a new user of the now-removed old configfs API came in through the char/misc tree in commit7bd1d4093c("stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices"). This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit517982229f("configfs: remove old API") from this pull. As Alexander says about that patch: "There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed. This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes. Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>" That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully bisectable. * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (23 commits) configfs: remove old API ocfs2/cluster: use per-attribute show and store methods ocfs2/cluster: move locking into attribute store methods netconsole: use per-attribute show and store methods target: use per-attribute show and store methods spear13xx_pcie_gadget: use per-attribute show and store methods dlm: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_serial: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_phonet: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_obex: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_uac2: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_uac1: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_mass_storage: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_sourcesink: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_printer: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_midi: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_loopback: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/ether: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_acm: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_hid: use per-attribute show and store methods ...
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
