This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the power/persist device attribute. The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared. Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before. The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and there are corresponding documentation updates.

Description:
|
|
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
|
|
power/autosuspend. This file holds the time (in seconds)
|
|
the device must be idle before it will be autosuspended.
|
|
0 means the device will be autosuspended as soon as
|
|
possible. Negative values will prevent the device from
|
|
being autosuspended at all, and writing a negative value
|
|
will resume the device if it is already suspended.
|
|
|
|
The autosuspend delay for newly-created devices is set to
|
|
the value of the usbcore.autosuspend module parameter.

Description:
|
|
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
|
|
power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for
|
|
the device, one of "on", "auto", or "suspend".
|
|
|
|
"on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
|
|
although normal suspends for system sleep will still
|
|
be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
|
|
and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
|
|
capabilities of its driver. "suspend" means the device
|
|
is forced into a suspended state and it will not autoresume
|
|
in response to I/O requests. However remote-wakeup requests
|
|
from the device may still be enabled (the remote-wakeup
|
|
setting is controlled separately by the power/wakeup
|
|
attribute).
|
|
|
|
During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
|
|
level. The other levels are meant for administrative uses.
|
|
If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
|
|
free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
|
|
write "0" to power/autosuspend.

Description:
|
|
If CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is set, then each USB device directory
|
|
will contain a file named power/persist. The file holds a
|
|
boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether or not the
|
|
"USB-Persist" facility is enabled for the device. Since the
|
|
facility is inherently dangerous, it is disabled by default
|
|
for all devices except hubs. For more information, see
|

Documentation/usb/persist.txt.
