121e287cb5 usb-skeleton: don't submit URBs after disconnection
This patch (as712b) is a slight revision of one submitted earlier.  It
fixes the usb-skeleton example driver so that it won't try to submit
URBs after skel_disconnect() has returned.  This could cause errors, if
the driver was unbound and then a different driver was bound to the
device.  It also fixes a couple of small bugs in the skel_write()
routine.

The revised patch uses a slightly different test, suggested by Dave
Brownell, for determining whether to free a transfer buffer.  It's a
little clearer than the earlier version.

349710c3a7 usbfs: detect device unregistration
This patch (as711b) is a revised version of an earlier submission.  It
modifies the usbfs code to detect when a device has been unregistered from
usbfs, even if the device is still connected.  Although this can't happen
now, it will be able to happen after the upcoming changes to usb_generic.

Nobody objected to this patch when it was submitted before, so it should
be okay to apply this version.  The revision is merely to take into
account the changes introduced by as723, which touches the same driver.

4a2a8a2cce usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and remove
The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open,
release, and remove.  Release vs. remove is okay because they both
acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one.  All
three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not
run concurrently.

Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by
explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine.
Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary
because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL.

But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not
char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any
special locking.  Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in
the release and remove routines, which the code does not do.

Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is
accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file
nodes.  Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for
userspace to open the other.  So simple locking around the individual
remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire
usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain.

Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private
mutex for the purpose.  Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain
doesn't seem like a good idea.

b6eb2d84d2 usbcore: add configuration_string to attribute group
This patch (as737b) does a very small cleanup of core/sysfs.c by adding
the configuration_string attribute file to the existing attribute group
instead of treating it separately.  It doesn't need this separate
treatment because unlike the other device string attributes, it changes
along with the active configuration.

The patch also fixes a simple typo (which, oddly enough, doesn't seem to
bother the compiler).

Add (dummy?) support for TIOCGSERIAL and TIOCSSERIAL ioctl calls to the USB
serial driver file `ark3116.c'.  This is sufficient for me to run wvdial

other hand, running the cvs program to update archives seems not to work,
and the traceroute command sometimes says

b2bbb20b37 USB: pxa2xx_udc understands GPIO based VBUS sensing
This updates the PXA 25x UDC board-independent infrastructure for VBUS sensing
and the D+ pullup.  The original code evolved from rather bizarre support on
Intel's "Lubbock" reference hardware, so that on more sensible hardware it
doesn't work as well as it could/should.

The change is just to teach the UDC driver how to use built-in PXA GPIO pins
directly.  This reduces the amount of board-specfic object code needed, and
enables the use of a VBUS sensing IRQ on boards (like Gumstix) that have one.
With VBUS sensing, the UDC is unclocked until a host is actually connected.

b2a8e097d0 USB: ohci-s3c2410.c: clock now usb-bus-host
With the newer Samsung S3C2412 and S3C2413 SoC devices,
the 48MHz USB clock has been given an individual gate
into the USB OHCI and gadget blocks.

This clock is called usb-bus-clock, and we need to
replace the old use of the USB PLL (upll) directly
with the new usb-bus-host.

The S3C2410 clock driver has been updated already to
provide a virtual clock which is a child of the UPLL
to maintain compatibility. The S3C2412 clock driver
correctly enables the PLL when either usb-bus clock
is active.

d413984ae9 USB: OHCI avoids root hub timer polling
This teaches OHCI to use the root hub status change (RHSC) IRQ, bypassing
root hub timers most of the time and switching over to the "new" root hub
polling scheme.  It's complicated by the fact that implementations of OHCI
trigger and ack that IRQ differently (the spec is vague there).

Avoiding root hub timers helps mechanisms like "dynamic tick" leave the
CPU in lowpower modes for longer intervals.

c18258c6f0 [PATCH] pid: Implement transfer_pid and use it to simplify de_thread
In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic.  This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.

Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted.  The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being
in cache.

07563c711f [PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support
Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.

The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):

 eisa:sTCM5093

and the in-module alias like:

 eisa:sTCM5093*

The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.

There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.

The rationale for this patch is:

 a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
    support, to unify driver loading

 b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
    (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
    how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)

Using request_firmware to pull ucode from userspace, so we don't need the
application 'microcode_ctl' to assist.  We name each ucode file according
to CPU's info as intel-ucode/family-model-stepping.  In this way we could
split ucode file as small one.  This has a lot of advantages such as
selectively update and validate microcode for specific models, better
manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and so on.
with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files
into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into
small one and later we will release new style data file).  The init script
should be changed to just loading the driver without unloading

ba52de123d [PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure
This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.

Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

8e18e2941c [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

7e96287ddc [PATCH] kdump: introduce "reset_devices" command line option
Resetting the devices during driver initialization can be a costly
operation in terms of time (especially scsi devices).  This option can be
used by drivers to know that user forcibly wants the devices to be reset
during initialization.

This option can be useful while kernel is booting in unreliable
environment.  For ex.  during kdump boot where devices are in unknown
random state and BIOS execution has been skipped.
