module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.
It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

The 16-MB global limit on memory used by usbfs isn't suitable for all
people. It's a reasonable default, but there are applications
(especially for SuperSpeed devices) that need a lot more.
This patch (as1498) creates a writable module parameter for usbcore to
control the global limit. The default is still 16 MB, but users can
change it at runtime, even after usbcore has been loaded. As a
special case, setting the value to 0 is treated the same as the hard
limit of 2047 MB.

For a long time people have complained about the limitations imposed
by usbfs. URBs coming from userspace are not allowed to have transfer
buffers larger than a more-or-less arbitrary maximum.
While it is generally a good idea to avoid large transfer buffers
(because the data has to be bounced to/from a contiguous kernel-space
buffer), it's not the kernel's job to enforce such limits. Programs
should be allowed to submit URBs as large as they like; if there isn't
sufficient contiguous memory available then the submission will fail
with a simple ENOMEM error.
On the other hand, we would like to prevent programs from submitting a
lot of small URBs and using up all the DMA-able kernel memory. To
that end, this patch (as1497) replaces the old limits on individual
transfer buffers with a single global limit on the total amount of
memory in use by usbfs. The global limit is set to 16 MB as a nice
compromise value: not too big, but large enough to hold about 300 ms
of data for high-speed transfers.

Add to the dev_state and alloc_async structures the user namespace
corresponding to the uid and euid. Pass these to kill_pid_info_as_uid(),
which can then implement a proper, user-namespace-aware uid check.
Changelog:
Sep 20: Per Oleg's suggestion: Instead of caching and passing user namespace,
uid, and euid each separately, pass a struct cred.
Sep 26: Address Alan Stern's comments: don't define a struct cred at
usbdev_open(), and take and put a cred at async_completed() to
ensure it lasts for the duration of kill_pid_info_as_cred().

called after the spin_unlock(), the pid passed to it must be pinned.

The usbcore headers: hcd.h and hub.h are shared between usbcore,
HCDs and a couple of other drivers (e.g. USBIP modules).
So, it makes sense to move them into a more public location and
to cleanup dependency of those modules on kernel internal headers.
This patch moves hcd.h from drivers/usb/core into include/linux/usb/

This patch (as1323) changes the locking requirements for
usb_autosuspend_device(), usb_autoresume_device(), and
usb_try_autosuspend_device(). This isn't a very important change;
mainly it's meant to make the locking more uniform.
The most tricky part of the patch involves changes to usbdev_open().
To avoid an ABBA locking problem, it was necessary to reduce the
region protected by usbfs_mutex. Since that mutex now protects only
against simultaneous open and remove, this posed no difficulty -- its
scope was larger than necessary.
And it turns out that usbfs_mutex is no longer needed in
usbdev_release() at all. The list of usbfs "ps" structures is now
protected by the device lock instead of by usbfs_mutex.

This patch (as1316) adds some error checking to usb_submit_urb().
It's conditional on CONFIG_USB_DEBUG, so it won't affect normal users.
The new check makes sure that the actual type of the endpoint
described by urb->pipe agrees with the type encoded in the pipe value.
The USB error code documentation is updated to include the code
returned by the new check, and the usbfs SUBMITURB handler is updated
to use the correct pipe type when legacy user code tries to submit a
bulk transfer to an interrupt endpoint.

I notice that the processcompl_compat() function seems to be leaking the
'struct async *as' in the error paths.
I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The
caller is the one that did the "reap_as()" to get the as thing, the
caller should be the one to free it too.
Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets
freed, and avoids the need for any "free in the error case too".

This patch (as1283) adds a new flag, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION,
to usbfs. It is intended for userspace libraries such as libusb and
openusb. When they have to break up a single usbfs bulk transfer into
multiple URBs, they will set the flag on all but the first URB of the
series.
If an error other than an unlink occurs, the kernel will automatically
cancel all the following URBs for the same endpoint and refuse to
accept new submissions, until an URB is encountered that is not marked
as a BULK_CONTINUATION. Such an URB would indicate the start of a new
transfer or the presence of an older library, so the kernel returns to
normal operation.
This enables libraries to delimit bulk transfers correctly, even in
the presence of early termination as indicated by short packets.
