bc00bc924 device create: usb: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata ... Browse Code »

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free
device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away.

usb_open() is protected by a down_read(&minor_rwsem), but I'm not sure I
trust it to protect everything including subsidiary open() functions.

782e70c6f USB: mark USB drivers as being GPL only ... Browse Code »

Over two years ago, the Linux USB developers stated that they believed
there was no way to create a USB kernel driver that was not under the
GPL. This patch moves the USB apis to enforce that decision.

There are no known closed source USB drivers in the wild, so this patch
should cause no problems.

d4ead16f5 USB: prevent char device open/deregister race ... Browse Code »

This patch (as908) adds central protection in usbcore for the
prototypical race between opening and unregistering a char device.
The spinlock used to protect the minor-numbers array is replaced with
an rwsem, which can remain locked across a call to a driver's open()
method. This guarantees that open() and deregister() will be mutually
exclusive.

The private locks currently used in several individual drivers for
this purpose are no longer necessary, and the patch removes them. The
following USB drivers are affected: usblcd, idmouse, auerswald,
legousbtower, sisusbvga/sisusb, ldusb, adutux, iowarrior, and
usb-skeleton.

As a side effect of this change, usb_deregister_dev() must not be
called while holding a lock that is acquired by open(). Unfortunately
a number of drivers do this, but luckily the solution is simple: call
usb_deregister_dev() before acquiring the lock.

In addition to these changes (and their consequent code
simplifications), the patch fixes a use-after-free bug in adutux and a
race between open() and release() in iowarrior.

1da177e4c Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Browse Code »

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
