USB: don't register endpoints for interfaces that are going away

2008-11-13T22:45:00+00:00

This patch (as1155) fixes a bug in usbcore. When interfaces are deleted, either because the device was disconnected or because of a configuration change, the extra attribute files and child endpoint devices may get left behind. This is because the core removes them before calling device_del(). But during device_del(), after the driver is unbound the core will reinstall altsetting 0 and recreate those extra attributes and children. The patch prevents this by adding a flag to record when the interface is in the midst of being unregistered. When the flag is set, the attribute files and child devices will not be created.

USB: Export if an interface driver supports autosuspend.

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

Create a new sysfs file per interface named supports_autosuspend. This file returns true if an interface driver's .supports_autosuspend flag is set. It also returns true if the interface is unclaimed (since the USB core will autosuspend a device if an interface is not claimed). This new sysfs file will be useful for user space scripts to test whether a USB device correctly auto-suspends. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Cc: Oliver Neukum Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: add all configs to the "descriptors" attribute

2008-05-29T20:59:03+00:00

This patch (as1094) changes the output of the "descriptors" binary attribute. Now it will contain the device descriptor followed by all the configuration descriptors, not just the descriptor for the current config. Userspace libraries want to have access to the kernel's cached descriptor information, so they can learn about device characteristics without having to wake up suspended devices. So far the only user of this attribute is the new libusb-1.0 library; thus changing its contents shouldn't cause any problems. This should be considered for 2.6.26, if for no other reason than to minimize the range of releases in which the attribute contains only the current config descriptor. Also, it doesn't hurt that the patch removes the device locking -- which was formerly needed in order to know for certain which config was indeed current.

USB: create attributes before sending uevent

2008-05-14T17:00:26+00:00

This patch (as1087d) fixes a long-standing problem in usbcore: Device, interface, and endpoint attributes aren't added until _after_ the creation uevent has already been broadcast. Unfortunately there are a few attributes which cannot be created that early. The "descriptors" attribute is binary and so must be created separately. The power-management attributes can't be created until the dev/power/ group exists. And the interface string can vary from one altsetting to another, so it has to be created dynamically.

USB: remove CONFIG_USB_PERSIST setting

2008-04-25T04:16:32+00:00

This patch (as1047) removes the USB_PERSIST Kconfig option, enabling it permanently. It also prevents the power/persist attribute from being created for hub devices; there's no point in having it since USB-PERSIST is always turned on for hubs.

USB: fix codingstyle issues in drivers/usb/core/*.c

USB: Export suspend statistics

2008-02-01T22:35:00+00:00

This patch exports two statistics to userspace: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration connected_duration is the total time (in msec) that the device has been connected. active_duration is the total time the device has not been suspended. With these two statistics, tools like PowerTOP can calculate the percentage time that a device is active, i.e. not suspended or auto-suspended. Users can also use the active_duration to check if a device is actually autosuspended. Currently, they can set power/level to auto and power/autosuspend to a positive timeout, but there's no way to know from userspace if a device was actually autosuspended without looking at the dmesg output. These statistics will be useful in creating an automated userspace script to test autosuspend for USB devices. Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: keep track of whether interface sysfs files exist

2007-11-28T21:58:35+00:00

This patch (as1009) solves the problem of multiple registrations for USB sysfs files in a more satisfying way than the existing code. It simply adds a flag to keep track of whether or not the files have been created; that way the files can be created or removed as needed. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern

USB: Export URB statistics for powertop

2007-10-12T21:55:30+00:00

powertop currently tracks interrupts generated by uhci, ehci, and ohci, but it has no way of telling which USB device to blame USB bus activity on. This patch exports the number of URBs that are submitted for a given device. Cat the file 'urbnum' in /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../ Signed-off-by: Sarah Sharp Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb: hook up device authorization to sysfs

2007-10-12T21:55:08+00:00

Makes it possible to control the authorization of USB devices through sysfs's /sys/usb/devices/*/authorize. Update: per Adrian Bunk's suggestion, make dev_attr_authorized_default static Signed-off-by: Inaky Perez-Gonzalez Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
