USB: disable endpoints after unbinding interfaces, not before

2010-11-22T18:47:37Z

commit 80f0cf3947889014d3a3dc0ad60fb87cfda4b12a upstream. This patch (as1430) fixes a bug in usbcore. When a device configuration change occurs or a device is removed, the endpoints for the old config should be completely disabled. However it turns out they aren't; this is because usb_unbind_interface() calls usb_enable_interface() or usb_set_interface() to put interfaces back in altsetting 0, which re-enables the interfaces' endpoints. As a result, when a device goes through a config change or is unconfigured, the ep_in[] and ep_out[] arrays may be left holding old pointers to usb_host_endpoint structures. If the device is deauthorized these structures get freed, and the stale pointers cause errors when the the device is eventually unplugged. The solution is to disable the endpoints after unbinding the interfaces instead of before. This isn't as large a change as it sounds, since usb_unbind_interface() disables all the interface's endpoints anyway before calling the driver's disconnect routine, unless the driver claims to support "soft" unbind. This fixes Bugzilla #19192. Thanks to "Tom" Lei Ming for diagnosing the underlying cause of the problem. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Tested-by: Carsten Sommer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: fix bug in initialization of interface minor numbers

2010-10-29T04:43:53Z

commit 0026e00523a85b90a92a93ddf6660939ecef3e54 upstream. Recent changes in the usbhid layer exposed a bug in usbcore. If CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is enabled then an interface may be assigned a minor number of 0. However interfaces that aren't registered as USB class devices also have their minor number set to 0, during initialization. As a result usb_find_interface() may return the wrong interface, leading to a crash. This patch (as1418) fixes the problem by initializing every interface's minor number to -1. It also cleans up the usb_register_dev() function, which besides being somewhat awkwardly written, does not unwind completely on all its error paths. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Tested-by: Philip J.

USB: Don't use GFP_KERNEL while we cannot reset a storage device

2010-01-25T18:49:31Z

commit acbe2febe71abb2360b008e9ab3ee5c44169f78c upstream. Memory allocations with GFP_KERNEL can cause IO to a storage device which can fail resulting in a need to reset the device. Therefore GFP_KERNEL cannot be safely used between usb_lock_device() and usb_unlock_device(). Replace by GFP_NOIO. Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum Cc: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: Let usb_sg_init to set transfer_buffer more often

2009-09-23T13:46:19Z

This fix permits the "new" usbmon to access usb-storage's data buffer without DMA remapping tricks. It should be compatible with PIO controllers and not add any new crashes. Note that from now on PIO controllers and usbmon are uniform in their access pattern and if one crashes then the other will too. Hopefuly neither does. As a side effect, we get rid for #ifdefs, which were a little ugly. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: fix LANGID=0 regression

2009-07-12T22:16:40Z

commit b7af0bb ("USB: allow malformed LANGID descriptors") broke support for devices without string descriptor support. Reporting string descriptors is optional to USB devices, and a device lets us know it can't deal with strings by responding to the LANGID request with a STALL token. The kernel handled that correctly before b7af0bb came in, but failed hard if the LANGID was reported but broken. More than that, if a device was not able to provide string descriptors, the LANGID was retrieved over and over again at each string read request. This patch changes the behaviour so that a) the LANGID is only queried once b) devices which can't handle string requests are not asked again c) devices with malformed LANGID values have a sane fallback to 0x0409 Signed-off-by: Daniel Mack Acked-by: Alan Stern Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: Push scatter gather lists down to host controller drivers.

2009-06-16T04:44:49Z

This is the original patch I created before David Vrabel posted a better patch (http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=123377477209109&w=2) that does basically the same thing. This patch will get replaced with his (modified) patch later. Allow USB device drivers that use usb_sg_init() and usb_sg_wait() to push bulk endpoint scatter gather lists down to the host controller drivers. This allows host controller drivers to more efficiently enqueue these transfers, and allows the xHCI host controller to better take advantage of USB 3.0 "bursts" for bulk endpoints. This patch currently only enables scatter gather lists for bulk endpoints. Other endpoint types that use the usb_sg_* functions will not have their scatter gather lists pushed down to the host controller. For periodic endpoints, we want each scatterlist entry to be a separate transfer. Eventually, HCDs could parse these scatter-gather lists for periodic endpoints also. For now, we use the old code and call usb_submit_urb() for each scatterlist entry. The caller of usb_sg_init() can request that all bytes in the scatter gather list be transferred by passing in a length of zero. Handle that request for a bulk endpoint under xHCI by walking the scatter gather list and calculating the length. We could let the HCD handle a zero length in this case, but I'm not sure if the core layers in between will get confused by this. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: Support for bandwidth allocation.

2009-06-16T04:44:49Z

Originally, the USB core had no support for allocating bandwidth when a particular configuration or alternate setting for an interface was selected. Instead, the device driver's URB submission would fail if there was not enough bandwidth for a periodic endpoint. Drivers could work around this, by using the scatter-gather list API to guarantee bandwidth. This patch adds host controller API to allow the USB core to allocate or deallocate bandwidth for an endpoint. Endpoints are added to or dropped from a copy of the current schedule by calling add_endpoint() or drop_endpoint(), and then the schedule is atomically evaluated with a call to check_bandwidth(). This allows all the endpoints for a new configuration or alternate setting to be added at the same time that the endpoints from the old configuration or alt setting are dropped. Endpoints must be added to the schedule before any URBs are submitted to them. The HCD must be allowed to reject a new configuration or alt setting before the control transfer is sent to the device requesting the change. It may reject the change because there is not enough bandwidth, not enough internal resources (such as memory on an embedded host controller), or perhaps even for security reasons in a virtualized environment. If the call to check_bandwidth() fails, the USB core must call reset_bandwidth(). This causes the schedule to be reverted back to the state it was in just after the last successful check_bandwidth() call. If the call succeeds, the host controller driver (and hardware) will have changed its internal state to match the new configuration or alternate setting. The USB core can then issue a control transfer to the device to change the configuration or alt setting. This allows the core to test new configurations or alternate settings before unbinding drivers bound to interfaces in the old configuration. WIP: The USB core must add endpoints from all interfaces in a configuration to the schedule, because a driver may claim that interface at any time. A slight optimization might be to add the endpoints to the schedule once a driver claims that interface. FIXME This patch does not cover changing alternate settings, but it does handle a configuration change or de-configuration. FIXME The code for managing the schedule is currently HCD specific. A generic scheduling algorithm could be added for host controllers without built-in scheduling support. For now, if a host controller does not define the check_bandwidth() function, the call to usb_hcd_check_bandwidth() will always succeed. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

NLS: update handling of Unicode

2009-06-16T04:44:43Z

This patch (as1239) updates the kernel's treatment of Unicode. The character-set conversion routines are well behind the current state of the Unicode specification: They don't recognize the existence of code points beyond plane 0 or of surrogate pairs in the UTF-16 encoding. The old wchar_t 16-bit type is retained because it's still used in lots of places. This shouldn't cause any new problems; if a conversion now results in an invalid 16-bit code then before it must have yielded an undefined code. Difficult-to-read names like "utf_mbstowcs" are replaced with more transparent names like "utf8s_to_utf16s" and the ordering of the parameters is rationalized (buffer lengths come immediate after the pointers they refer to, and the inputs precede the outputs). Fortunately the low-level conversion routines are used in only a few places; the interfaces to the higher-level uni2char and char2uni methods have been left unchanged.

USB: add reset endpoint operations

2009-04-17T17:50:27Z

Wireless USB endpoint state has a sequence number and a current window and not just a single toggle bit. So allow HCDs to provide a endpoint_reset method and call this or clear the software toggles as required (after a clear halt, set configuration etc.). usb_settoggle() and friends are then HCD internal and are moved into core/hcd.h and all device drivers call usb_reset_endpoint() instead. If the device endpoint state has been reset (with a clear halt) but the host endpoint state has not then subsequent data transfers will not complete. The device will only work again after it is reset or disconnected. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
