[PATCH] USB: usbnet (3/9) module for ASIX Ethernet adapters
This patch moves the ASIX AX8817x driver into its own file, just using
the "usbnet" infrastructure as a utility library.
- As with "cdc_subset" this involved minor Kconfig/kbuild tweaks,
moving code from one file to another, and exporting a few functions.
- This includes updates from Jamie Painter to add (and use) a new hook
to handle the different maximum transfer sizes for rx and tx sides.
- Also from Jamie, some bugfixes:
* MDIO byteorder (to address some PPC media negotiation problems);
* Force alignment at key spots when using ax88772 framing (on some
embedded hardware, the network stack will break otherwise);
* Address some link reset problems.
It also makes this driver use the standard (5 seconds vs half second)
control timeouts used elsewhere in USB; and wraps a few lines before
the 80th column (which previously needed it).

[PATCH] USB: usbnet (2/9) module for simple network links
This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules
for "usbnet". This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which
can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core.
- Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver,
shrinking "usbnet" by a bunch;
- Export the functions needed to support this minidriver
(with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL);
- Update Kconfig and kbuild accordingly.
This one handles about a dozen different device types, with the most
notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus
running that ancient code from Sharp).

[PATCH] USB: usbnet (1/9) clean up framing
This starts to prepare the core of "usbnet" to know less about various
framing protocols that map Ethernet packets onto USB, so "minidrivers"
can be modules that just plug into the core.
- Remove some framing-specific code that cluttered the core:
* net->hard_header_len records how much space to preallocate;
now drivers that add their own framing (Net1080, GeneLink,
Zaurus, and RNDIS) will have smoother TX paths. Even for
the drivers (Zaurus, Net1080) that need trailers.
* defines new dev->hard_mtu, using this "hardware" limit to
check changes to the link's settable "software" mtu.
* now net->hard_header_len and dev->hard_mtu are set up in the
driver bind() routines, if needed.
- Transaction ID is no longer specific to the Net1080 framing;
RNDIS needs one too.
- Creates a new "usbnet.h" header with declarations that are shared
between the core and what will be separate modules.
- Plus a couple other minor tweaks, like recognizing -ESHUTDOWN
means the keventd work should just shut itself down asap.
The core code is only about 1/3 of this large file. Splitting out the
minidrivers into separate modules (e.g. ones for ASIX adapters,
Zaurii and similar, CDC Ethernet, etc), in later patches, will
improve maintainability and shrink typical runtime footprints.

[PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

usb-storage has a small loophole, a window between the time queuecommand

the pending command -- we've been relying on the SCSI core to cancel it
for us during host removal. But it's better for usb-storage to cancel

Disconnect processing in usb-storage naturally divides into two parts:
one to quiesce the driver (make sure no commands are executing or

two parts. Mostly it's just code movement, but there is one significant
change. If the scsi-scanning thread fails to initialize but the host
has successfully been added, we need to quiesce the driver before
removing the host. After all, it's possible that scanning could have
been initiated from somewhere else, such as userspace -- very low
probability, but it's easily handled by calling the new subroutine.

[PATCH] USB: Prevent hid-core claiming Apple Bluetooth device on new G4 powerbooks
To recap: My new G4 powerbook has a bluetooth device that boots up in
what apppears to be a compatability mode - it looks exactly like an HID
keyboard/mouse device.
A special command sequence is sent to switch it into full bluetooth
mode. When this occurs the original HID device vanishes, and a new
(bluetooth HID) USB device appears on the bus with a different product
ID.
The original thread is here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=
12532263
The attached patch adds the device to the hid-core quirks so that
hid-core ignores it.

This patch for the ftdi_sio driver adds a bunch of new devices and fixes
an incorrect PID:
o Fix PID for ELV UO100 (the PID was in fact for ELV UR100).
o Add PID ELV UR100 (see above) and ELV ALC 8500 Expert.
o Add a whole bunch of other PIDs for ELV USB devices, commented out for
now as they may be used by other drivers eventually. (Christian Abt
of ELV.de submitted a full list of devices including an indication of
which set of drivers are used by default in the MS Windows world. We
decided to comment out the devices that use FTDI's D2XX Windows
drivers by default.)
o Add PIDs for eight devices from Xsens Technologies BV (submitted in a

[PATCH] scan all enabled ports on ata_piix
ICH6 spec defines the PORT_ bits as:
PORT_ENABLED (R/W):
0 = Disabled. The port is in the off state and cannot detect any
devices.
1 = Enabled. The port can transition between the on, partial, and
slumber states and can detect devices.
PORT_PRESENT (R/O)
The status of this bit may change at any time. This bit is cleared
when the port is disabled via PORT_ENABLED. This bit is not cleared upon
surprise removal of a device.
So from a textual view it is not necessary that PORT_PRESENT _must_ be set,
especially if a device detection has to be done anyway. And, in fact, this
is the view that ACER has been taken with its new Laptops (e.g. Travelmate
4150).

[PATCH] fix klist semantics for lists which have elements removed on traversal
The problem is that klists claim to provide semantics for safe traversal of
lists which are being modified. The failure case is when traversal of a
list causes element removal (a fairly common case). The issue is that
although the list node is refcounted, if it is embedded in an object (which
is universally the case), then the object will be freed regardless of the
klist refcount leading to slab corruption because the klist iterator refers
to the prior element to get the next.
The solution is to make the klist take and release references to the
embedding object meaning that the embedding object won't be released until
the list relinquishes the reference to it.

This patch fixes a bug in kprobes's handling of a corner case on i386 and
x86_64. On an SMP system, if one CPU unregisters a kprobe just after
another CPU hits that probepoint, kprobe_handler() on the latter CPU sees
that the kprobe has been unregistered, and attempts to let the CPU continue
as if the probepoint hadn't been hit. The bug is that on i386 and x86_64,
we were neglecting to set the IP back to the beginning of the probed
instruction. This could cause an oops or crash.
This bug doesn't exist on ppc64 and ia64, where a breakpoint instruction
leaves the IP pointing to the beginning of the instruction. I don't know
about sparc64. (Dave, could you please advise?)
This fix has been tested on i386 and x86_64 SMP systems. To reproduce the
problem, set one CPU to work registering and unregistering a kprobe
repeatedly, and another CPU pounding the probepoint in a tight loop.

[PATCH] Kprobes/IA64: fix race when break hits and kprobe not found
This patch addresses a potential race condition for a case where Kprobe has
been removed right after another CPU has taken a break hit.
The way this is addressed here is when the CPU that has taken a break hit
does not find its corresponding kprobe, then we check to see if the
original instruction got replaced with other than break. If it got
replaced with other than break instruction, then we continue to execute
from the replaced instruction, else if we find that it is still a break,
then we let the kernel handle this, as this might be the break instruction
inserted by other than kprobe(may be kernel debugger).
