2007-07-12USB: usb/dma doc updatesDavid Brownell1-15/+37
This patch updates some of the documentation about DMA buffer management for USB, and ways to avoid extra copying. Our understanding of the issues has improved over time. - Most drivers should *avoid* the dma-coherent allocators. There are a few exceptions (like the HID driver). - Some methods are currently commented out; it seems folk writing USB drivers aren't doing performance tuning at that level yet. - Just avoid highmem; there's no good way to pass an "I can do highmem DMA" capability through a driver stack. This is easy, everything already avoids highmem. But it'd be nice if x86_32 systems with much physical memory could use it directly with network adapters and mass storage devices. (Patch, anyone?)

2007-07-12USB: add power/persist device attributeAlan Stern1-13/+25
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.

2007-07-12USB: add USB-Persist facilityAlan Stern1-0/+144
This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility, allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system suspend. The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

2007-04-27usbmon: Extended text APIPete Zaitcev1-24/+56
This patch adds a new text API, codenamed '1u', which captures more URB fields than old '1t' interface did. Also the '1u' text API is compatible with the future "bus zero" extension.

2007-02-07USB: add binary API to usbmonPete Zaitcev1-2/+150
This patch adds a new, "binary" API in addition to the old, text API usbmon had before. The new API allows for less CPU use, and it allows to capture all data from a packet where old API only captured 32 bytes at most. There are some limitations and conditions to this, e.g. in case someone constructs a URB with 1GB of data, it's not likely to be captured, because even the huge buffers of the new reader are finite. Nonetheless, I expect this new capability to capture all data for all real life scenarios. The downside is, a special user mode application is required where cat(1) worked before. I have sample code at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/ and Paolo Abeni is working on patching libpcap. This patch was initially written by Paolo and later I tweaked it, and we had a little back-and-forth. So this is a jointly authored patch, but I am submitting this I am responsible for the bugs.

2006-09-27USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete)Pete Zaitcev1-7/+4
The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier, without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately". The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but it's not always available. I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb"). Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

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!
