This patch relaxes reset timings. There are some reports that it
helps make enumeration work better on some high speed devices.

Routine cases like handoff-to-companion shouldn't trigger diagnostics.
This gets rid of some recently added log spamming. It's routine for
hub_port_wait_reset() to return -ENOTCONN to indicate handoff from
highspeed hubs to companions, so an error message is incorrect.

This patch (as549) introduces two small changes in the HCD glue layer.
The first simply removes a redundant test. The second allows root-hub
polling to continue for a single iteration after a host controller dies;
this is needed for the patch that follows.

This patch (as556) adds support for unbinding the usb_generic "driver".
That driver only binds to USB devices, as opposed to interfaces, and it
does nothing much besides marking which struct device's go with an
overall USB device plus providing suspend/resume methods. Now that
users can unbind drivers at will using the sysfs "unbind" attribute, we
need a rational way of dealing with USB devices that are no longer under
full control of the USB stack. The patch handles this by unconfiguring
the device, thereby removing all the interfaces and their associated
drivers and children.

This patch (as555) modifies the already-awkward
usb_lock_device_for_reset routine in usbcore by adding a timeout. The
whole point of the routine is that the caller wants to acquire some
semaphores in the wrong order; protecting against the possibility of
deadlock by timing out seems only prudent.

This patch (as554) makes the hub driver disconnect any child USB devices
when it is unbound from a hub. Normally this will never happen, but
there are a few oddball ways to unbind the hub driver while leaving the
children intact. For example, the new "unbind" sysfs attribute can be
used for this purpose.
Given that unbinding hubs with children is now safe, the patch also
removes the code that prevented people from doing so using usbfs.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class
where every connected usb-device will show up:
tree /sys/class/usb_device/
/sys/class/usb_device/
|-- usb1.1
| |-- dev
| `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1
|-- usb2.1
| |-- dev
| `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2
...
The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes.
kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/
/dev/bus/usb/
|-- 1
| `-- 1
|-- 2
| `-- 1
...
udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c"
(echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/')
This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs:
export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb
Background:
All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of
the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr
replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device
nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like
"Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support.
New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real
nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks
up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files.
This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up:
SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c"
/sbin/usbdevice:
#!/bin/sh
echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/'

Driver core: link device and all class devices derived from it.
To ease the task of locating class devices derived from a certain
device create symlinks from parent device to its class devices.
Change USB host class device name from usbX to usb_hostX to avoid
conflict when creating aforementioned links.
Tweaked by Greg to have the symlink be "class_name:class_device_name" in
order to prevent duplicate links.

This patch does the same swap, i.e. use the ISO macro if (isoc).
Additionally, it fixes the return value - the usb_calc_bus_time function
returns the time in nanoseconds (I didn't notice that before) while the
HS_USECS and HS_USECS_ISO are microseconds. This fixes the function to
return nanoseconds always, and adjusts ehci-q.c (the only high-speed
caller of the function) to wrap the call in NS_TO_US().

This patch handles a rarely-encountered failure mode in usbcore. It's
legal for device_add to fail (although now it happens even more rarely
than before since failure to bind a driver is no longer fatal). So when
we destroy the interfaces in a configuration, we shouldn't try to delete
ones which weren't successfully registered. Also, failure to register an
interface shouldn't be fatal either -- I think; you may disagree about
this part of the patch.
