A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

Randy Dunlap pointed out that there now is a module_param_array_named
macro available. This patch (as666) updates g_file_storage to make use of
it. It also adds a comment listing the specifications documents used in
the design of the driver's SCSI operation (at Pat LaVarre's request).

This patch (as664) adds a comment to file_storage.c, noting that the
driver is slightly non-portable because it assumes that a buffer
allocated for a bulk-in endpoint will also be useable for a bulk-out
endpoint.

I'm told that some UDC hardware may work better if it knows that
receiving a short packet should always cause an error. Accordingly,
this patch (as663) sets the short_not_ok flag for bulk-out transfers in
g_file_storage. Oddly enough, there are no circumstances where that
driver can legally receive a shorter-than-expected bulk-out packet.

This adds __init section annotations to gadget driver bind() routines to
remove calls from .text into .init sections (for endpoint autoconfig).
Likewise it adds __exit section annotations to their unbind() routines.
The specification of the gadget driver register/unregister functions is
updated to explicitly allow use of those sections.

This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

This patch (as612) removes the "volatile" declarations from the
file-storage gadget. It turns out that they aren't needed for anything
much; adding a few memory barriers does a sufficient job.
The patch also removes a wait_queue. Not much point having a queue when
only one task is ever going to be on it!

This patch (as601) adds a proper reference count to the file-storage
gadget's main data structure, to keep track of references held by child
devices (LUNs in this case). Before this, the driver would wait for
each child to be released before unbinding.
While there's nothing really wrong with that (you can't create a hang by
doing "rmmod g_file_storage </sys/.../lun0/ro" since the open file will
prevent rmmod from running), the code might as well follow the standard
procedures. Besides, this shrinks the size of the structure by a few
words... :-)

This patch (as575) fixes an unlikely race in the g_file_storage driver.
The problem can occur only when the driver is unbound before its

I also took the opportunity to replace kmalloc/memset with kzalloc.

This patch (as566) converts the File-Storage gadget over to the kthread
API. The new code doesn't use kthread_stop because the control thread
needs to terminate asynchronously when it receives a signal.

This patch centralizes the assignment of bcdDevice numbers for different
gadget controllers. This won't improve the object code at all, but it
does save a lot of repetitive and error-prone source code ... and will
simplify the work of supporting a new controller driver, since most new
gadget drivers will no longer need patches (unless some hardware quirks
limit USB protocol messaging).
Added minor cleanups and identifer hooks for the UDC in the Freescale
iMX series processors.

This updates most of the gadget framework to expect SETUP packets use
USB byteorder (matching the annotation in <linux/usb_ch9.h> and usage
in the host side stack):
- definition in <linux/usb_gadget.h>
- gadget drivers: Ethernet/RNDIS, serial/ACM, file_storage, gadgetfs.
- dummy_hcd
It also includes some other similar changes as suggested by "sparse",
which was used to detect byteorder bugs.

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

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!
