USB: Fixed outdated usb_get_device_descriptor() documentation

2006-11-16T22:26:12Z

usb_get_device_descriptor() used to convert several descriptor fields to host CPU's byte order. Now that it doesn't convert them anymore, update the documentation to reflect this. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12Z

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t. Signed-Off-By: David Howells (cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)

USB: Remove unneeded void * casts in core files

2006-09-27T18:58:59Z

The patch removes unneeded casts for the following (void *) pointers: - struct file: private - struct urb: context - struct usb_bus: hcpriv - return value of kmalloc() The patch also contains some whitespace cleanup in the relevant areas.

usbcore: non-hub-specific uses of autosuspend

2006-09-27T18:58:57Z

This patch (as741) makes the non-hub parts of usbcore actually use the autosuspend facilities added by an earlier patch. Devices opened through usbfs are autoresumed and then autosuspended upon close. Likewise for usb-skeleton. Devices are autoresumed for usb_set_configuration.

USB: remove struct usb_operations

2006-09-27T18:58:56Z

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. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usbcore: help drivers to change device configs

2006-09-27T18:58:55Z

It's generally a bad idea for USB interface drivers to try to change a device's configuration, and usbcore doesn't provide any way for them to do it. However in a few exceptional circumstances it can make sense. This patch (as767) adds a roundabout mechanism to help drivers that may need it.

USB: usbcore get rid of the timer in usb_start_wait_urb()

2006-09-27T18:58:51Z

This patch uses completion timeout instead of a timer to implement a timeout when submitting an URB in usb_start_wait_urb(). It also fixes a small issue. With the previous code, if no timeout happened and the URB's status was set to ECONNRESET value, the code assumed wrongly that a timeout had occured.

[PATCH] usbcore: recovery from Set-Configuration failure

2006-06-21T22:04:15Z

This patch (as703) improves the error handling when a Set-Configuration request fails. The old interfaces are all unregistered before the request is sent, and if the request fails then we don't know what config the device is using. So it makes no sense to leave actconfig pointing to the old configuration with its invalid interfaces. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] USB: add usb_interrupt_msg() function for api completeness.
