USB: remove err() macro from usb core code

2008-10-17T21:41:11+00:00

USB should not be having it's own printk macros, so remove err() and use the system-wide standard of dev_err() wherever possible. In the few places that will not work out, use a basic printk(). Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: remove warn() macro from usb drivers

USB: snoop processes opening usbfs device files

2008-10-17T21:41:03+00:00

This patch (as1148) adds a new "snoop" message to usbfs when a device file is opened, identifying the process responsible. This comes in extremely handy when trying to determine which program is doing some unwanted USB access. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

device create: usb: convert device_create_drvdata to device_create

2008-10-16T16:24:45+00:00

Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the original call to be sane. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

device create: usb: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata

2008-07-22T04:54:46+00:00

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minor

2008-07-22T04:54:40+00:00

Why?: There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that /sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc. What are the alternatives?: 1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this seems counter productive. 2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited environment like an initramfs. 3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

USB: Fix pointer/int cast in USB devio code

2008-07-21T22:16:44+00:00

Fix pointer/int cast in USB devio code, and thus avoid a compiler warning. A void* data argument passed to bus_find_device() and thence to match_devt() is used to carry a 32-bit datum. However, casting directly between a u32 and a pointer is not permitted - there must be an intermediate cast via (unsigned) long. This was introduced by the following patch: commit 94b1c9fa060ece2c8f080583beb6cc6008e41413 Author: Alan Stern Date: Tue Jun 24 14:47:12 2008 -0400 usbfs: simplify the lookup-by-minor routines This patch (as1105) simplifies the lookup-by-minor-number code in usbfs. Instead of passing the minor number to the callback, which must then reconstruct the entire dev_t value, the patch passes the dev_t value directly.

usbfs: don't store bad pointers in registration

2008-07-21T22:16:43+00:00

This patch (as1107) fixes a small bug in the usbfs registration and unregistration code. It avoids leaving an error value stored in the device's usb_classdev field and it avoids trying to unregister a NULL pointer. (It also fixes a rather extreme overuse of whitespace.)

usbfs: fix race between open and unregister

2008-07-21T22:16:42+00:00

This patch (as1106) fixes a race between opening and unregistering device files in usbfs. The current code drops its reference to the device and then reacquires it, ignoring the possibility that the device structure might have been removed in the meantime. It also doesn't check whether the device is already in the NOTATTACHED state when the file is opened. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
