This patch (as1198) fixes a conceptual bug: Somewhere along the line
we managed to confuse USB class devices with USB char devices. As a
result, the code to send a disconnect signal to userspace would not be
built if both CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS and CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS were
disabled.
The usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() routine has been renamed to
usbdev_remove() and it is now called whenever any USB device is
removed, not just when a class device is unregistered. The notifier
registration and unregistration calls are no longer conditionally
compiled. And since the common removal code will always be called as
part of the char device interface, there's no need to call it again as
part of the usbfs interface; thus the invocation of
usb_fs_classdev_common_remove() has been taken out of
usbfs_remove_device().

Since no-one else could think of a reason either, I offer the following
patch which allows any signal to be used with USBDEVFS_DISCSIGNAL and
usbdevfs_urb.signr.

Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from
the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.
Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().
Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more
sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be
addressed by later patches.

This patch (as1148) adds a new "snoop" message to usbfs when a device

Why?:
There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs
attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the
device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to
stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that
/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.
What are the alternatives?:
1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce
the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this
seems counter productive.
2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a
udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited
environment like an initramfs.
3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

Fix pointer/int cast in USB devio code, and thus avoid a compiler warning.
A void* data argument passed to bus_find_device() and thence to match_devt()
is used to carry a 32-bit datum. However, casting directly between a u32 and
a pointer is not permitted - there must be an intermediate cast via (unsigned)
long.
This was introduced by the following patch:

usbfs: simplify the lookup-by-minor routines
This patch (as1105) simplifies the lookup-by-minor-number code in
usbfs. Instead of passing the minor number to the callback, which
must then reconstruct the entire dev_t value, the patch passes the
dev_t value directly.

This patch (as1107) fixes a small bug in the usbfs registration and

This patch (as1106) fixes a race between opening and unregistering
device files in usbfs. The current code drops its reference to the
device and then reacquires it, ignoring the possibility that the
device structure might have been removed in the meantime. It also
doesn't check whether the device is already in the NOTATTACHED state
when the file is opened.

USB device files are accessible in two ways: as files in usbfs and as
character device nodes. The two paths are supposed to behave
identically, but they don't. When the underlying USB device is
unplugged, disconnect signals are sent to processes with open usbfs
files (if they requested these signals) but not to processes with open
device node files.
This patch (as1104) fixes the bug by moving the disconnect-signalling
code into a common subroutine which is called from both paths.
Putting this subroutine in devio.c removes the only out-of-file
reference to struct dev_state, and so the structure's declaration can
be moved from usb.h into devio.c.
Finally, the new subroutine performs one extra action: It kills all
the outstanding async URBs. (I'd kill the outstanding synchronous
URBs too, if there was any way to do it.) In the past this hasn't
mattered much, because devices were unregistered from usbfs only
when they were disconnected. But now the unregistration can also
occur whenever devices are unbound from the usb_generic driver. At
any rate, killing URBs when a device is unregistered from usbfs seems
like a good thing to do.

This patch renames the existing usb_reset_device in hub.c to
usb_reset_and_verify_device and renames the existing
usb_reset_composite_device to usb_reset_device. Also the new
usb_reset_and_verify_device does't need to be EXPORTED .
The idea of the patch is that external interface driver
should warn the other interfaces' driver of the same
device before and after reseting the usb device. One interface
driver shoud call _old_ usb_reset_composite_device instead of
_old_ usb_reset_device since it can't assume the device contains
only one interface. The _old_ usb_reset_composite_device
is safe for single interface device also. we rename the two
functions to make the change easily.
This patch is under guideline from Alan Stern.

From the current implementation of usb_reset_composite_device

This patch (as1079) cleans up the way URB_* flags are exported in
usbfs.
The URB_NO_INTERRUPT flag is now exported (this is the
only behavioral change).
USBDEVFS_URB_* macros are added for URB_NO_FSBR,
URB_ZERO_PACKET, and URB_NO_INTERRUPT, making explicit the
fact that the kernel accepts them.
The flag matching takes into account that the URB_* values
may change as the kernel evolves, whereas the USBDEVFS_URB_*
values must remain fixed since they are a user API.
