  • Half the compat_ioctl handling is in devio.c, the other
    half is in fs/compat_ioctl.c. This moves everything into
    one place for consistency.

    As a positive side-effect, push down the BKL into the
    ioctl methods.

  • 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.

  • This patch (as1258) implements a feature that users have been asking
    for: It gives programs the ability to "claim" a port on a hub, via a
    new usbfs ioctl. A device plugged into a "claimed" port will not be
    touched by the kernel beyond the immediate necessities of
    initialization and enumeration.

    In particular, when a device is plugged into a "claimed" port, the
    kernel will not select and install a configuration. And when a config
    is installed by usbfs or sysfs, the kernel will not probe any drivers
    for any of the interfaces. (However the kernel will fetch various
    string descriptors during enumeration. One could argue that this
    isn't really necessary, but the strings are exported in sysfs.)

    The patch does not guarantee exclusive access to these devices; it is
    still possible for more than one program to open the device file
    concurrently. Programs are responsible for coordinating access among
    themselves.

    A demonstration program showing how to use the new interface can be
    found in an attachment to

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=124345857431452&w=2

    The patch also makes a small simplification to the hub driver,
    replacing a bunch of more-or-less useless variants of "out of memory"
    with a single message.

  • 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.

  • This trivial documentation patch corrects a comment in usbdevice_fs.h; it
    previously suggested that the signal would only be sent on error, but I am
    told that it is sent on both successful and unsuccessful completion, and
    that zero indicates that no signal should be sent.

  • [USBDEVFS] fix inclusion of to avoud header mess

    Without moving the include of compat.h down, userspace programs that use
    usbdevice_fs.h end up including half the kernel includes (and eventually
    fail to compile).

  • 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!
