645daaab0b usbcore: add autosuspend/autoresume infrastructure
This patch (as739) adds the basic infrastructure for USB autosuspend
and autoresume.  The main features are:

	PM usage counters added to struct usb_device and struct
	usb_interface, indicating whether it's okay to autosuspend
	them or they are currently in use.

	Flag added to usb_device indicating whether the current
	suspend/resume operation originated from outside or as an
	autosuspend/autoresume.

	Flag added to usb_driver indicating whether the driver
	supports autosuspend.  If not, no device bound to the driver
	will be autosuspended.

	Mutex added to usb_device for protecting PM operations.
	Unlike the device semaphore, the locking rule for the pm_mutex
	is that you must acquire the locks going _up_ the device tree.

	New routines handling autosuspend/autoresume requests for
	interfaces and devices.

	Suspend and resume requests are propagated up the device tree
	(but not outside the USB subsystem).

	work_struct added to usb_device, for carrying out delayed
	autosuspend requests.

	Autoresume added (and autosuspend prevented) during probe and
	disconnect.

b6956ffa59 usbcore: store each usb_device's level in the tree
This patch (as778) adds a field to struct usb_device to store the
device's level in the USB tree.  In itself this number isn't really
important.  But the overhead is very low, and in a later patch it will
be used for preventing bogus warnings from the lockdep checker.

1720058343 usbcore: trim down usb_bus structure
As part of the ongoing program to flatten out the HCD bus-glue layer,
this patch (as771b) eliminates the hcpriv, release, and kref fields
from struct usb_bus.  hcpriv and release were not being used for
anything worthwhile, and kref has been moved into the enclosing
usb_hcd structure.

Along with those changes, the patch gets rid of usb_bus_get and
usb_bus_put, replacing them with usb_get_hcd and usb_put_hcd.

The one interesting aspect is that the dev_set_drvdata call was
removed from usb_put_hcd, where it clearly doesn't belong.  This means
the driver private data won't get reset to NULL.  It shouldn't cause
any problems, since the private data is undefined when no driver is
bound.

a6d2bb9ff9 USB: remove struct usb_operations
All of the currently-supported USB host controller drivers use the HCD
bus-glue framework.  As part of the program for flattening out the glue
layer, this patch (as769) removes the usb_operations structure.  All
function calls now go directly to the HCD routines (slightly renamed
to remain within the "usb_" namespace).

The patch also removes usb_alloc_bus(), because it's not useful in the
HCD framework and it wasn't referenced anywhere.

088dc270e1 usbcore: help drivers to change device configs
It's generally a bad idea for USB interface drivers to try to change a

4d064c0802 usbcore: track whether interfaces are suspended
Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking
whether intf is suspended.  This is not a reliable technique because
that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore.  This patch (as718b)
adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are
suspended and which aren't.

At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces
will be suspended along with their devices.  It turns out there are a
couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as
while processing a remote-wakeup request.

8bb54ab573 usbcore: add usb_device_driver definition
This patch (as732) adds a usb_device_driver structure, for representing
drivers that manage an entire USB device as opposed to just an
interface.  Support routines like usb_register_device_driver,
usb_deregister_device_driver, usb_probe_device, and usb_unbind_device
are also added.

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe.  To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper.  This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

55c527187c [PATCH] USB: Consider power budget when choosing configuration
This patch (as609) changes the way we keep track of power budgeting for
USB hubs and devices, and it updates the choose_configuration routine to
take this information into account.  (This is something we should have
been doing all along.)  A new field in struct usb_device holds the amount
of bus current available from the upstream port, and the usb_hub structure
keeps track of the current available for each downstream port.

Two new rules for configuration selection are added:

	Don't select a self-powered configuration when only bus power
	is available.

	Don't select a configuration requiring more bus power than is
	available.

However the first rule is #if-ed out, because I found that the internal
hub in my HP USB keyboard claims that its only configuration is
self-powered.  The rule would prevent the configuration from being chosen,
leaving the hub & keyboard unconfigured.  Since similar descriptor errors
may turn out to be fairly common, it seemed wise not to include a rule
that would break automatic configuration unnecessarily for such devices.

The second rule may also trigger unnecessarily, although this should be
less common.  More likely it will annoy people by sometimes failing to
accept configurations that should never have been chosen in the first
place.

The patch also changes usbcore's reaction when no configuration is
suitable.  Instead of raising an error and rejecting the device, now
the core will simply leave the device unconfigured.  People can always
work around such problems by installing configurations manually through
sysfs.

9ad3d6ccf5 [PATCH] USB: Remove USB private semaphore
This patch (as605) removes the private udev->serialize semaphore,
relying instead on the locking provided by the embedded struct device's
semaphore.  The changes are confined to the core, except that the
usb_trylock_device routine now uses the return convention of
down_trylock rather than down_read_trylock (they return opposite values
for no good reason).

A couple of other associated changes are included as well:

	Now that we aren't concerned about HCDs that avoid using the
	hcd glue layer, usb_disconnect no longer needs to acquire the
	usb_bus_lock -- that can be done by usb_remove_hcd where it
	belongs.

	Devices aren't locked over the same scope of code in
	usb_new_device and hub_port_connect_change as they used to be.
	This shouldn't cause any trouble.

Along with the preceding driver core patch, this needs a lot of testing.

390a8c345e [PATCH] remove usb_suspend_device() parameter
This patch removes the extra usb_suspend_device() parameter.  The original
reason to pass that parameter was so that this routine could suspend any
active children.  A previous patch removed that functionality ... leaving
no reason to pass the parameter.  A close analogy is pci_set_power_state,
which doesn't need a pm_message_t either.

On the internal code path that comes through the driver model, the parameter
is now used to distinguish cases where USB devices need to "freeze" but not
suspend.   It also checks for an error case that's accessible through sysfs:
attempting to suspend a device before its interfaces (or for hubs, ports).

094f164957 [PATCH] USB: add endpoint information to sysfs
This patch adds endpoint information for both devices and interfaces to
sysfs.  Previously it was only possible to get the endpoint information
from usbfs, and never possible to get any information on endpoint 0.

b375a0495f [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel
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."

fbf82fd2e1 [PATCH] USB: real nodes instead of usbfs
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/'

Great!  FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using
the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I
haven't seen any failures yet.  So I tend to believe that your "should
be" actually means "is" :)

OK then how about the following (essentially documentation) patch?

27d72e8572 [PATCH] usb suspend updates (interface suspend)
This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t".  This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:

    - <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change

    - Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
      shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
	* hid-core
	* stir4200

    - Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
      featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
      their activities.  (As should stir4200...)
	* pegasus
	* usbnet

Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
to me like it's missing a request to turn it on, vs just configuring it.
The ASIX code in usbnet also has WOL hooks that are ready to use; untested.
