USB: don't let errors prevent system sleep

2011-07-13T03:29:25Z

commit 0af212ba8f123c2eba151af7726c34a50b127962 upstream. This patch (as1464) implements the recommended policy that most errors during suspend or hibernation should not prevent the system from going to sleep. In particular, failure to suspend a USB driver or a USB device should not prevent the sleep from succeeding: Failure to suspend a device won't matter, because the device will automatically go into suspend mode when the USB bus stops carrying packets. (This might be less true for USB-3.0 devices, but let's not worry about them now.) Failure of a driver to suspend might lead to trouble later on when the system wakes up, but it isn't sufficient reason to prevent the system from going to sleep.

USB: obey the sysfs power/wakeup setting

2010-08-02T17:21:03Z

commit 48826626263d4a61d06fd8c5805da31f925aefa0 upstream. This patch (as1403) is a partial reversion of an earlier change (commit 5f677f1d45b2bf08085bbba7394392dfa586fa8e "USB: fix remote wakeup settings during system sleep"). After hearing from a user, I realized that remote wakeup should be enabled during system sleep whenever userspace allows it, and not only if a driver requests it too. Indeed, there could be a device with no driver, that does nothing but generate a wakeup request when the user presses a button. Such a device should be allowed to do its job. The problem fixed by the earlier patch -- device generating a wakeup request for no reason, causing system suspend to abort -- was also addressed by a later patch ("USB: don't enable remote wakeup by default", accepted but not yet merged into mainline). The device won't be able to generate the bogus wakeup requests because it will be disabled for remote wakeup by default. Hence this reversion will not re-introduce any old problems.

USB: fix remote wakeup settings during system sleep

2010-05-12T21:57:01Z

This is a backport of commit 5f677f1d45b2bf08085bbba7394392dfa586fa8e. Some of the functionality had to be removed, but it should still fix the webcam problem. This patch (as1363b) changes the way USB remote wakeup is handled during system sleeps. It won't be enabled unless an interface driver specifically needs it. Also, it won't be enabled during the FREEZE or QUIESCE phases of hibernation, when the system doesn't respond to wakeup events anyway. This will fix problems people have reported with certain USB webcams that generate wakeup requests when they shouldn't, and as a result cause system suspends to fail.

USB: remove debugging message for uevent constructions

commit cceffe9348f93188d7811bda95924d4bd3040d0f upstream. This patch (as1332) removes an unneeded and annoying debugging message announcing all USB uevent constructions. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: make intf.pm_usage an atomic_t

2009-09-23T13:46:23Z

This patch (as1260) changes the pm_usage_cnt field in struct usb_interface from an int to an atomic_t. This is so that drivers can invoke the usb_autopm_get_interface_async() and usb_autopm_put_interface_async() routines without locking and without fear of corrupting the pm_usage_cnt value.

USB: add API for userspace drivers to "claim" ports

2009-09-23T13:46:22Z

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.

USB: Avoid PM error messages during resume if a device was disconnected

2009-06-16T04:44:47Z

Currently if a laptop is suspended e.g. while docked and then resumed after undocking it, the following errors get generated because the USB hub in the docking station and the devices connected to it are no longer available: pm_op(): usb_dev_resume+0x0/0x10 returns -19 PM: Device 1-2 failed to resume: error -19 pm_op(): usb_dev_resume+0x0/0x10 returns -19 PM: Device 1-2.2 failed to resume: error -19 pm_op(): usb_dev_resume+0x0/0x10 returns -19 PM: Device 1-2.3 failed to resume: error -19 As the removal of USB devices while a system is suspended is a relatively common use case and in most cases not an error, just return success on -ENODEV. The user gets informed anyway as the USB subsystem generates regular disconnect messages for the devices shortly afterwards: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 3 usb 1-2.2: USB disconnect, address 4 usblp0: removed usb 1-2.3: USB disconnect, address 5 Signed-off-by: Frans Pop Acked-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

usb: convert endpoint devices to bus-less childs of the usb interface

2009-06-16T04:44:45Z

The endpoint devices look like simple attribute groups now, and no longer like devices with a specific subsystem. They will also no longer emit uevents. It also removes the device node requests for endpoint devices, which are not implemented for now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Acked-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: consolidate usb_unbind_interface and usb_driver_release_interface

2009-06-16T04:44:41Z

This patch (as1230) consolidates code in usb_unbind_interface() and usb_driver_release_interface(). In fact, it makes release_interface call unbind_interface, thereby removing the need for duplicated code. It works like this: If the interface has already been registered with the driver core when a driver releases it, then the usual driver-core mechanism will call unbind_interface. If it hasn't been unregistered then we will make the call ourselves. As a nice bonus, drivers now don't have to worry about whether their disconnect method will get called when they release an interface -- it always will. Previously it would be called only if the interface was registered. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
