Kernel version 2.6.13 introduced a regression in the generic USB
serial converter driver (usbserial.o, drivers/usb/serial/generic.c).
The bug manifests, as far as I can tell, whenever you attempt to write
to the device -- the write will never complete (write() returns 0, or
blocks).

All the same issues - we can't just save the pointer to the thread, we
must save the pid/uid/euid combination.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
If a process issues an URB from userspace and (starts to) terminate
before the URB comes back, we run into the issue described above. This
is because the urb saves a pointer to "current" when it is posted to the
device, but there's no guarantee that this pointer is still valid
afterwards.
In fact, there are three separate issues:
1) the pointer to "current" can become invalid, since the task could be
completely gone when the URB completion comes back from the device.
2) Even if the saved task pointer is still pointing to a valid task_struct,
task_struct->sighand could have gone meanwhile.
3) Even if the process is perfectly fine, permissions may have changed,
and we can no longer send it a signal.
So what we do instead, is to save the PID and uid's of the process, and
introduce a new kill_proc_info_as_uid() function.

Addresses some small bugs in the pegasus ethernet-over-USB driver.
Specifically, malformed long packets from the adapter could cause a kernel
panic; the interrupt interval calculation was inappropriate for high-speed
devices; the return code from read_mii_word was tested incorrectly; and
failure to unlink outstanding URBs before freeing them could lead to kernel
panics when unloading the driver.

Three minor sl811-hcd fixes:
- Elminate memory leak on one (rare) disable/shutdown path.
- For periodic transfers that don't need to be scheduled, update
urb->start_frame to represent the transfer phase correctly.
- Report the (single) port as removable, by default.
Since no drivers yet use start_frame or that part of the hub descriptor,
only that leak is likely to ever matter.

I'm using a 2 port USB RS232 dongle to connect to a serial-IR cradle for
a bar code reader). Detecting the baudrate of the serial-IR involves
keeping DTR low while changing baudrate.
This works using normal 16550A serial ports as well as the FTDI driver
version 1.4.0 (Linux 2.6.8) but stopped working with the change to
"ensure RTS and DTR are raised when changing baudrate" introduced in
version 1.4.1 (Linux 2.6.9).
The attached patch fixes this, so RTS and DTR is only raised when
changing baudrate iff the previous baudrate was B0.

This patch fixes the long standing schedule with interrupts off problem
of the uss720 driver. The problem is caused by the parport layer calling
the save and restore methods within a write_lock_irqsave guarded region.
The fix is to issue the control transaction requests required by save
and restore asynchronously.

Fair points, thanks.
When connected over USB2, this device reports a nonsense
bInterfaceProtocol value 6 and doesn't work with usb-storage. When
connected over USB1, the device reports the correct bInterfaceProtocol
value 0x50 (bulk) and works with no problems.

The stick replies to the door lock commands with a check condition (e.g.
FAIL status in a normal bulk CSW), but the subsequent REQUEST SENSE
returns all-zero sense. The situation is documented in our Bugzilla,
including usbmon traces.

This is patch as550 from Alan Stern.
Apparently someone changed the SCSI core so that it no longer holds the
host lock when doing a device or bus reset. usb-storage was updated at
the time, but the change was done carelessly. Some of the code depends
on that lock being held.
This patch reintroduces the host lock where needed and tries to clarify
the comments explaining why the lock is necessary. It also moves the
code that clears the TIMED_OUT and ABORTING bitflags so that it executes
as soon as the timed-out command has completed (and while the host lock
is held).
