2012-09-10usbfs: Add a new disconnect-and-claim ioctl (v2)Hans de Goede
Apps which deal with devices which also have a kernel driver, need to do the following: 1) Check which driver is attached, so as to not detach the wrong driver (ie detaching usbfs while another instance of the app is using the device) 2) Detach the kernel driver 3) Claim the interface Where moving from one step to the next for both 1-2 and 2-3 consists of a (small) race window. So currently such apps are racy and people just live with it. This patch adds a new ioctl which makes it possible for apps to do this in a race free manner. For flexibility apps can choose to: 1) Specify the driver to disconnect 2) Specify to disconnect any driver except for the one named by the app 3) Disconnect any driver Note that if there is no driver attached, the ioctl will just act like the regular claim-interface ioctl, this is by design, as returning an error for this condition would open a new bag of race-conditions. Changes in v2: -Fix indentation of if blocks where the condition spans multiple lines Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2012-07-06usbdevfs: Use scatter-gather lists for large bulk transfersHans de Goede
When using urb->transfer_buffer we need to allocate physical contiguous buffers for the entire transfer, which is pretty much guaranteed to fail with large transfers. Currently userspace works around this by breaking large transfers into multiple urbs. For large bulk transfers this leads to all kind of complications. This patch makes it possible for userspace to reliable submit large bulk transfers to scatter-gather capable host controllers in one go, by using a scatterlist to break the transfer up in managable chunks.

2012-07-06usbdevfs: Add a USBDEVFS_GET_CAPABILITIES ioctlHans de Goede
There are a few (new) usbdevfs capabilities which an application cannot discover in any other way then checking the kernel version. There are 3 problems with this: 1) It is just not very pretty. 2) Given the tendency of enterprise distros to backport stuff it is not reliable. 3) As discussed in length on the mailinglist, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION does not work as it should when combined with USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK (which is its intended use) on devices attached to an XHCI controller. So the availability of these features can be host controller dependent, making depending on them based on the kernel version not a good idea. This patch besides adding the new ioctl also adds flags for the following existing capabilities: USBDEVFS_CAP_ZERO_PACKET, available since 2.6.31 USBDEVFS_CAP_BULK_CONTINUATION, available since 2.6.32, except for XHCI USBDEVFS_CAP_NO_PACKET_SIZE_LIM, available since 3.3 Note that this patch only does not advertise the USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION cap for XHCI controllers, bulk transfers with this flag set will still be accepted when submitted to XHCI controllers. Returning -EINVAL for them would break existing apps, and in most cases the troublesome scenario wrt USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK urbs on XHCI controllers will never get hit, so this would break working use cases. The disadvantage of not returning -EINVAL is that cases were it is causing real trouble may go undetected / the cause of the trouble may be unclear, but this is the best we can do.

2009-12-10usbdevfs: move compat_ioctl handling to devio.cArnd Bergmann
Half the compat_ioctl handling is in devio.c, the other half is in fs/compat_ioctl.c. This moves everything into one place for consistency. As a positive side-effect, push down the BKL into the ioctl methods.

2009-09-23USB: usbfs: add USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION flagAlan Stern
This patch (as1283) adds a new flag, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION, to usbfs. It is intended for userspace libraries such as libusb and openusb. When they have to break up a single usbfs bulk transfer into multiple URBs, they will set the flag on all but the first URB of the series. If an error other than an unlink occurs, the kernel will automatically cancel all the following URBs for the same endpoint and refuse to accept new submissions, until an URB is encountered that is not marked as a BULK_CONTINUATION. Such an URB would indicate the start of a new transfer or the presence of an older library, so the kernel returns to normal operation. This enables libraries to delimit bulk transfers correctly, even in the presence of early termination as indicated by short packets.

2009-09-23USB: add API for userspace drivers to "claim" portsAlan Stern
This patch (as1258) implements a feature that users have been asking for: It gives programs the ability to "claim" a port on a hub, via a new usbfs ioctl. A device plugged into a "claimed" port will not be touched by the kernel beyond the immediate necessities of initialization and enumeration. In particular, when a device is plugged into a "claimed" port, the kernel will not select and install a configuration. And when a config is installed by usbfs or sysfs, the kernel will not probe any drivers for any of the interfaces. (However the kernel will fetch various string descriptors during enumeration. One could argue that this isn't really necessary, but the strings are exported in sysfs.) The patch does not guarantee exclusive access to these devices; it is still possible for more than one program to open the device file concurrently. Programs are responsible for coordinating access among themselves. A demonstration program showing how to use the new interface can be found in an attachment to http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=124345857431452&w=2 The patch also makes a small simplification to the hub driver, replacing a bunch of more-or-less useless variants of "out of memory" with a single message.

2008-04-24USB: usbfs: export the URB_NO_INTERRUPT flag to userspaceAlan Stern
This patch (as1079) cleans up the way URB_* flags are exported in usbfs. The URB_NO_INTERRUPT flag is now exported (this is the only behavioral change). USBDEVFS_URB_* macros are added for URB_NO_FSBR, URB_ZERO_PACKET, and URB_NO_INTERRUPT, making explicit the fact that the kernel accepts them. The flag matching takes into account that the URB_* values may change as the kernel evolves, whereas the USBDEVFS_URB_* values must remain fixed since they are a user API.

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!
