Why?:
There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs
attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the
device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to
stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that
/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.What are the alternatives?:
1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce
the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this
seems counter productive.2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a
udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited
environment like an initramfs.3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

This patch (as1024) takes care of a FIXME issue: Drivers that don't
have the necessary suspend, resume, reset_resume, pre_reset, or
post_reset methods will be unbound and their interface reprobed when
one of the unsupported events occurs.This is made slightly more difficult by the fact that bind operations
won't work during a system sleep transition. So instead the code has
to defer the operation until the transition ends.Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

This patch renames the existing usb_reset_device in hub.c to
usb_reset_and_verify_device and renames the existing
usb_reset_composite_device to usb_reset_device. Also the new
usb_reset_and_verify_device does't need to be EXPORTED .The idea of the patch is that external interface driver
should warn the other interfaces' driver of the same
device before and after reseting the usb device. One interface
driver shoud call _old_ usb_reset_composite_device instead of
_old_ usb_reset_device since it can't assume the device contains
only one interface. The _old_ usb_reset_composite_device
is safe for single interface device also. we rename the two
functions to make the change easily.This patch is under guideline from Alan Stern.

From the current implementation of usb_reset_composite_device
function, the iface parameter is no longer useful. This function
doesn't do something special for the iface usb_interface,compared
with other interfaces in the usb_device. So remove the parameter

Add interfaces for composite gadget drivers, and
basic implementation support behind it:- struct usb_function ... groups one or more interfaces into a function
managed as one unit within a configuration, to which it's added by
usb_add_function().- struct usb_configuration ... groups one or more such functions into
a configuration managed as one unit by a driver, to which it's added
by usb_add_config(). These operate at either high or full/low speeds
and at a given bMaxPower.- struct usb_composite_driver ... groups one or more such configurations
into a gadget driver, which may be registered or unregistered.- struct usb_composite_dev ... a usb_composite_driver manages this; it
wraps the usb_gadget exposed by the controller driver.This also includes some basic kerneldoc.
How to use it (the short version): provide a usb_composite_driver with a
bind() that calls usb_add_config() for each of the needed configurations.
The configurations in turn have bind() calls, which will usb_add_function()
for each function required. Each function's bind() allocates resources
needed to perform its tasks, like endpoints; sometimes configurations will
allocate resources too.Separate patches will convert most gadget drivers to this infrastructure.

Define three new descriptor manipulation utilities, for use when
setting up functions that may have multiple instances:usb_copy_descriptors() to copy a vector of descriptors
usb_free_descriptors() to free the copy
usb_find_endpoint() to find a copied versionThese will be used as follows. Functions will continue to have static
tables of descriptors they update, now used as __initdata templates.When a function creates a new instance, it patches those tables with
relevant interface and string IDs, plus endpoint assignments. Then it
copies those morphed descriptors, associates the copies with the new
function instance, and records the endpoint descriptors to use when
activating the endpoints. When initialization is done, only the copies
remain in memory. The copies are freed on driver removal.This ensures that each instance has descriptors which hold the right
instance-specific data. Two instances in the same configuration will
obviously never share the same interface IDs or use the same endpoints.
Instances in different configurations won't do so either, which means
this is slightly less memory-efficient in some cases.This also includes a bugfix to the epautoconf code that shows up with
this usage model. It must replace the previous endpoint number when
updating the template descriptors, not just mask in a few more bits.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

from comments.Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk
Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman -
This patch (as1091) changes the way usbcore handles interface
unbinding. If the interface's driver supports "soft" unbinding (a new
flag in the driver structure) then in-flight URBs are not cancelled
and endpoints are not disabled. Instead the driver is allowed to
continue communicating with the device (although of course it should
stop before its disconnect routine returns).The purpose of this change is to allow drivers to do a clean shutdown
when they get unbound from a device that is still plugged in. Killing
all the URBs and disabling the endpoints before calling the driver's
disconnect method doesn't give the driver any control over what
happens, and it can leave devices in indeterminate states. For
example, when usb-storage unbinds it doesn't want to stop while in the
middle of transmitting a SCSI command.The soft_unbind flag is added because in the past, a number of drivers
have experienced problems related to ongoing I/O after their disconnect
routine returned. Hence "soft" unbinding is made available only to
drivers that claim to support it.The patch also replaces "interface_to_usbdev(intf)" with "udev" in a
couple of places, a minor simplification.Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.This patch:
- reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
- makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
- makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
- makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
- extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
- renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
- enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
- set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
- removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Piotr Oledzki

All modifications and most access to the mddev->disks list are made
under the reconfig_mutex lock. However there are three places where
the list is walked without any locking. If a reconfig happens at this
time, havoc (and oops) can ensue.So use RCU to protect these accesses:
- wrap them in rcu_read_{,un}lock()
- use list_for_each_entry_rcu
- add to the list with list_add_rcu
- delete from the list with list_del_rcu
- delay the 'free' with call_rcu rather than schedule_workNote that export_rdev did a list_del_init on this list. In almost all
cases the entry was not in the list anymore so it was a no-op and so
safe. It is no longer safe as after list_del_rcu we may not touch
the list_head.
An audit shows that export_rdev is called:
- after unbind_rdev_from_array, in which case the delete has
already been done,
- after bind_rdev_to_array fails, in which case the delete isn't needed.
- before the device has been put on a list at all (e.g. in
add_new_disk where reading the superblock fails).
- and in autorun devices after a failure when the device is on a
different list.So remove the list_del_init call from export_rdev, and add it back
immediately before the called to export_rdev for that last case.Note also that ->same_set is sometimes used for lists other than
mddev->list (e.g. candidates). In these cases rcu is not needed.Signed-off-by: NeilBrown
