USB: storage: remove invalid URL from drivers

2018-01-23T09:22:34+00:00

The old URL for usb-storage driver help is long gone. So remove it from the comments to not confuse people anymore. Reported-by: Matthew Dharm Acked-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: storage: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-04T10:55:38+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all USB files, that identifies the license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all. This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never needed. No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

USB: add SPDX identifiers to all remaining files in drivers/usb/

2017-11-04T10:48:02+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to audit the kernel tree for correct licenses. Update the drivers/usb/ and include/linux/usb* files with the correct SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

usb: storage: fix module reference for scsi host

2015-05-10T14:03:50+00:00

While accessing a unusual usb storage (ums-alauda, ums-cypress, ...), the module reference count is not incremented. Because these drivers allocate scsi hosts with usb_stor_host_template defined in usb-storage module. So these drivers always can be unloaded. This fixes it by preparing scsi host template which is initialized at module_init() for each ums-* driver. In order to minimize the difference in ums-* drivers, introduce module_usb_stor_driver() helper macro which is same as module_usb_driver() except that it also initializes scsi host template.

usb-storage: fix freezing of the scanning thread

2012-02-22T00:29:15+00:00

This patch (as1521b) fixes the interaction between usb-storage's scanning thread and the freezer. The current implementation has a race: If the device is unplugged shortly after being plugged in and just as a system sleep begins, the scanning thread may get frozen before the khubd task. Khubd won't be able to freeze until the disconnect processing is complete, and the disconnect processing can't proceed until the scanning thread finishes, so the sleep transition will fail. The implementation in the 3.2 kernel suffers from an additional problem. There the scanning thread calls set_freezable_with_signal(), and the signals sent by the freezer will mess up the thread's I/O delays, which are all interruptible. The solution to both problems is the same: Replace the kernel thread used for scanning with a delayed-work routine on the system freezable work queue. Freezable work queues have the nice property that you can cancel a work item even while the work queue is frozen, and no signals are needed. The 3.2 version of this patch solves the problem in Bugzilla #42730. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Acked-by: Seth Forshee CC: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb-storage: redo incorrect reads

2011-06-07T16:05:42+00:00

Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle the first READ(10) command they receive correctly. The Corsair Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is supposed to be unlocked). The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the read. Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's partition table. Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or "blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device. This patch (as1470) works around the problem. It adds a new quirk flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands (provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting stuck in a loop). The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs entries containing the new flag.

USB: remove uses of URB_NO_SETUP_DMA_MAP

2010-05-20T20:21:31+00:00

This patch (as1350) removes all usages of coherent buffers for USB control-request setup-packet buffers. There's no good reason to reserve coherent memory for these things; control requests are hardly ever used in large quantity (the major exception is firmware transfers, and they aren't time-critical). Furthermore, only seven drivers used it. We might as well always use streaming DMA mappings for setup-packet buffers, and remove some extra complexity from usbcore. The DMA-mapping portion of hcd.c is currently in flux. A separate patch will be submitted to remove support for URB_NO_SETUP_DMA_MAP after everything else settles down. The removal should go smoothly, as by then nobody will be using it. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
