linux/drivers/usb/core/devio.c, branch v3.9

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-02-27T04:16:07Z

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro: "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent locking violations, etc. The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes. Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then. PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (46 commits) saner proc_get_inode() calling conventions proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super() fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM fs/exec.c: make bprm_mm_init() static ocfs2/dlm: use GFP_ATOMIC inside a spin_lock ocfs2: fix possible use-after-free with AIO ocfs2: Fix oops in ocfs2_fast_symlink_readpage() code path get_empty_filp()/alloc_file() leave both ->f_pos and ->f_version zero target: writev() on single-element vector is pointless export kernel_write(), convert open-coded instances fs: encode_fh: return FILEID_INVALID if invalid fid_type kill f_vfsmnt vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op nfsd: handle vfs_getattr errors in acl protocol switch vfs_getattr() to struct path default SET_PERSONALITY() in linux/elf.h ceph: prepopulate inodes only when request is aborted d_hash_and_lookup(): export, switch open-coded instances 9p: switch v9fs_set_create_acl() to inode+fid, do it before d_instantiate() 9p: split dropping the acls from v9fs_set_create_acl() ...

usbdevfs: Fix broken scatter-gather transfer

2012-10-17T20:41:34Z

The handling of large output bulk transfers is broken; the same user page is read over and over again. Fixed with this patch. Cc: stable Acked-by: Peter Stuge Acked-by: Hans de Goede Acked-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Henrik Rydberg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usbfs: Add a new disconnect-and-claim ioctl (v2)

2012-09-10T18:10:37Z

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

usbdevfs: Use scatter-gather lists for large bulk transfers

2012-07-06T17:53:20Z

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.

usbdevfs: Add a USBDEVFS_GET_CAPABILITIES ioctl

2012-07-06T17:53:19Z

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.

usbdevfs: Correct amount of data copied to user in processcompl_compat

2012-07-06T17:53:19Z

iso data buffers may have holes in them if some packets were short, so for iso urbs we should always copy the entire buffer, just like the regular processcompl does. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Acked-by: Alan Stern CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: Remove races in devio.c

USB: remove CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_CLASS

2012-04-30T02:29:57Z

This option has been deprecated for many years now, and no userspace tools use it anymore, so it should be safe to finally remove it. Reported-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
