+Description:
+ Each USB device directory will contain a file named
+ power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for
+ the device, either "on" or "auto".
+
+ "on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
+ although normal suspends for system sleep will still
+ be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
+ and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
+ capabilities of its driver.
+
+ During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
+ level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses.
+ If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
+ free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
+ write "0" to power/autosuspend.
+
+ Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be
+ left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires
+ devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not.
+ In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core
+ initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some
+ drivers may change this setting when they are bound.
+
+ This file is deprecated and will be removed after 2010.
+ Use the power/control file instead; it does exactly the
+ same thing.

+Sysfs tagging
+-------------
+
+(Taken almost verbatim from Eric Biederman's netns tagging patch
+commit msg)
+
+The problem. Network devices show up in sysfs and with the network
+namespace active multiple devices with the same name can show up in
+the same directory, ouch!
+
+To avoid that problem and allow existing applications in network
+namespaces to see the same interface that is currently presented in
+sysfs, sysfs now has tagging directory support.
+
+By using the network namespace pointers as tags to separate out the
+the sysfs directory entries we ensure that we don't have conflicts
+in the directories and applications only see a limited set of
+the network devices.
+
+Each sysfs directory entry may be tagged with zero or one
+namespaces. A sysfs_dirent is augmented with a void *s_ns. If a
+directory entry is tagged, then sysfs_dirent->s_flags will have a
+flag between KOBJ_NS_TYPE_NONE and KOBJ_NS_TYPES, and s_ns will
+point to the namespace to which it belongs.
+
+Each sysfs superblock's sysfs_super_info contains an array void
+*ns[KOBJ_NS_TYPES]. When a a task in a tagging namespace
+kobj_nstype first mounts sysfs, a new superblock is created. It
+will be differentiated from other sysfs mounts by having its
+s_fs_info->ns[kobj_nstype] set to the new namespace. Note that
+through bind mounting and mounts propagation, a task can easily view
+the contents of other namespaces' sysfs mounts. Therefore, when a
+namespace exits, it will call kobj_ns_exit() to invalidate any
+sysfs_dirent->s_ns pointers pointing to it.
+
+Users of this interface:
+- define a type in the kobj_ns_type enumeration.

+Introduction
+------------
+CAIF is a MUX protocol used by ST-Ericsson cellular modems for
+communication between Modem and host. The host processes can open virtual AT
+channels, initiate GPRS Data connections, Video channels and Utility Channels.
+The Utility Channels are general purpose pipes between modem and host.
+
+ST-Ericsson modems support a number of transports between modem
+and host. Currently, UART and Loopback are available for Linux.
+
+
+Architecture:
+------------
+The implementation of CAIF is divided into:
+* CAIF Socket Layer, Kernel API, and Net Device.
+* CAIF Core Protocol Implementation
+* CAIF Link Layer, implemented as NET devices.

+Using the Kernel API
+----------------------
+The Kernel API is used for accessing CAIF channels from the
+kernel.
+The user of the API has to implement two callbacks for receive
+and control.
+The receive callback gives a CAIF packet as a SKB. The control
+callback will
+notify of channel initialization complete, and flow-on/flow-
+off.

+===========================
+===========================
+
+CAIF Core Protocol Layer
+=========================================
+
+CAIF Core layer implements the CAIF protocol as defined by ST-Ericsson.
+It implements the CAIF protocol stack in a layered approach, where
+each layer described in the specification is implemented as a separate layer.
+The architecture is inspired by the design patterns "Protocol Layer" and
+"Protocol Packet".
+
+== CAIF structure ==
+The Core CAIF implementation contains:
+ - Simple implementation of CAIF.
+ - Layered architecture (a la Streams), each layer in the CAIF
+ specification is implemented in a separate c-file.
+ - Clients must implement PHY layer to access physical HW
+ with receive and transmit functions.
+ - Clients must call configuration function to add PHY layer.
+ - Clients must implement CAIF layer to consume/produce
+ CAIF payload with receive and transmit functions.
+ - Clients must call configuration function to add and connect the
+ Client layer.
+ - When receiving / transmitting CAIF Packets (cfpkt), ownership is passed
+ to the called function (except for framing layers' receive functions
+ or if a transmit function returns an error, in which case the caller
+ must free the packet).
+
+Layered Architecture
+--------------------
+The CAIF protocol can be divided into two parts: Support functions and Protocol
+Implementation. The support functions include:
+
+ - CFPKT CAIF Packet. Implementation of CAIF Protocol Packet. The
+ CAIF Packet has functions for creating, destroying and adding content
+ and for adding/extracting header and trailers to protocol packets.
+
+ - CFLST CAIF list implementation.
+
+ - CFGLUE CAIF Glue. Contains OS Specifics, such as memory
+ allocation, endianness, etc.
+
+The CAIF Protocol implementation contains:
+
+ - CFCNFG CAIF Configuration layer. Configures the CAIF Protocol
+ Stack and provides a Client interface for adding Link-Layer and
+ Driver interfaces on top of the CAIF Stack.
+
+ - CFCTRL CAIF Control layer. Encodes and Decodes control messages
+ such as enumeration and channel setup. Also matches request and
+ response messages.
+
+ - CFSERVL General CAIF Service Layer functionality; handles flow
+ control and remote shutdown requests.
+
+ - CFVEI CAIF VEI layer. Handles CAIF AT Channels on VEI (Virtual
+ External Interface). This layer encodes/decodes VEI frames.
+
+ - CFDGML CAIF Datagram layer. Handles CAIF Datagram layer (IP
+ traffic), encodes/decodes Datagram frames.
+
+ - CFMUX CAIF Mux layer. Handles multiplexing between multiple
+ physical bearers and multiple channels such as VEI, Datagram, etc.
+ The MUX keeps track of the existing CAIF Channels and
+ Physical Instances and selects the apropriate instance based
+ on Channel-Id and Physical-ID.
+
+ - CFFRML CAIF Framing layer. Handles Framing i.e. Frame length
+ and frame checksum.
+
+ - CFSERL CAIF Serial layer. Handles concatenation/split of frames
+ into CAIF Frames with correct length.
+
+

+ +---------+ +---------+
+ ! !
+ +---------+ +---------+
+ | | | Serial |
+ | | | CFSERL |
+ +---------+ +---------+
+
+
+In this layered approach the following "rules" apply.
+ - All layers embed the same structure "struct cflayer"
+ - A layer does not depend on any other layer's private data.
+ - Layers are stacked by setting the pointers
+ layer->up , layer->dn
+ - In order to send data upwards, each layer should do
+ layer->up->receive(layer->up, packet);
+ - In order to send data downwards, each layer should do
+ layer->dn->transmit(layer->dn, packet);
+
+
+Linux Driver Implementation
+===========================
+
+Linux GPRS Net Device and CAIF socket are implemented on top of the
+CAIF Core protocol. The Net device and CAIF socket have an instance of
+'struct cflayer', just like the CAIF Core protocol stack.
+Net device and Socket implement the 'receive()' function defined by
+'struct cflayer', just like the rest of the CAIF stack. In this way, transmit and
+receive of packets is handled as by the rest of the layers: the 'dn->transmit()'
+function is called in order to transmit data.
+
+The layer on top of the CAIF Core implementation is
+sometimes referred to as the "Client layer".
+
+
+Configuration of Link Layer
+---------------------------
+The Link Layer is implemented as Linux net devices (struct net_device).
+Payload handling and registration is done using standard Linux mechanisms.
+
+The CAIF Protocol relies on a loss-less link layer without implementing
+retransmission. This implies that packet drops must not happen.
+Therefore a flow-control mechanism is implemented where the physical
+interface can initiate flow stop for all CAIF Channels.

+
+=== Start ===
+If you have compiled CAIF for modules do:
+
+$modprobe crc_ccitt
+$modprobe caif
+$modprobe caif_socket
+$modprobe chnl_net
+
+
+=== Preparing the setup with a STE modem ===
+
+If you are working on integration of CAIF you should make sure
+that the kernel is built with module support.
+
+There are some things that need to be tweaked to get the host TTY correctly
+set up to talk to the modem.
+Since the CAIF stack is running in the kernel and we want to use the existing
+TTY, we are installing our physical serial driver as a line discipline above
+the TTY device.
+
+To achieve this we need to install the N_CAIF ldisc from user space.
+The benefit is that we can hook up to any TTY.
+
+The use of Start-of-frame-extension (STX) must also be set as
+module parameter "ser_use_stx".
+
+Normally Frame Checksum is always used on UART, but this is also provided as a
+module parameter "ser_use_fcs".
+
+$ modprobe caif_serial ser_ttyname=/dev/ttyS0 ser_use_stx=yes
+$ ifconfig caif_ttyS0 up
+
+PLEASE NOTE: There is a limitation in Android shell.
+ It only accepts one argument to insmod/modprobe!
+
+=== Trouble shooting ===
+
+There are debugfs parameters provided for serial communication.
+/sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty-name>/
+
+* ser_state: Prints the bit-mask status where
+ - 0x02 means SENDING, this is a transient state.
+ - 0x10 means FLOW_OFF_SENT, i.e. the previous frame has not been sent
+ and is blocking further send operation. Flow OFF has been propagated
+ to all CAIF Channels using this TTY.
+
+* tty_status: Prints the bit-mask tty status information
+ - 0x01 - tty->warned is on.
+ - 0x02 - tty->low_latency is on.
+ - 0x04 - tty->packed is on.

+ - 0x20 - tty->stopped is on.
+
+* last_tx_msg: Binary blob Prints the last transmitted frame.
+ This can be printed with
+ $od --format=x1 /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/last_rx_msg.
+ The first two tx messages sent look like this. Note: The initial
+ byte 02 is start of frame extension (STX) used for re-syncing
+ upon errors.

+ Command:Channel Setup(1)
+ Channel Type(1)
+ Priority and Link-ID(1)
+ Endpoint(1)
+ Checksum(2)
+
+* last_rx_msg: Prints the last transmitted frame.
+ The RX messages for LinkSetup look almost identical but they have the
+ bit 0x20 set in the command bit, and Channel Setup has added one byte
+ before Checksum containing Channel ID.
+ NOTE: Several CAIF Messages might be concatenated. The maximum debug
+ buffer size is 128 bytes.
+
+== Error Scenarios:
+- last_tx_msg contains channel setup message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
+ The host seems to be able to send over the UART, at least the CAIF ldisc get
+ notified that sending is completed.
+
+- last_tx_msg contains enumeration message and last_rx_msg is empty ->
+ The host is not able to send the message from UART, the tty has not been
+ able to complete the transmit operation.
+
+- if /sys/kernel/debug/caif_serial/<tty>/tty_status is non-zero there
+ might be problems transmitting over UART.
+ E.g. host and modem wiring is not correct you will typically see
+ tty_status = 0x10 (hw_stopped) and ser_state = 0x10 (FLOW_OFF_SENT).
+ You will probably see the enumeration message in last_tx_message
+ and empty last_rx_message.

+
+History
+=======
+
+The original pppol2tp driver was introduced in 2.6.23 and provided
+L2TPv2 functionality (rfc2661). L2TPv2 is used to tunnel one or more PPP
+sessions over a UDP tunnel.
+
+L2TPv3 (rfc3931) changes the protocol to allow different frame types
+to be passed over an L2TP tunnel by moving the PPP-specific parts of
+the protocol out of the core L2TP packet headers. Each frame type is
+known as a pseudowire type. Ethernet, PPP, HDLC, Frame Relay and ATM
+pseudowires for L2TP are defined in separate RFC standards. Another
+change for L2TPv3 is that it can be carried directly over IP with no
+UDP header (UDP is optional). It is also possible to create static
+unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels manually without a control protocol
+(userspace daemon) to manage them.
+
+To support L2TPv3, the original pppol2tp driver was split up to
+separate the L2TP and PPP functionality. Existing L2TPv2 userspace
+apps should be unaffected as the original pppol2tp sockets API is
+retained. L2TPv3, however, uses netlink to manage L2TPv3 tunnels and
+sessions.
Design
======
-The PPPoL2TP driver, drivers/net/pppol2tp.c, provides a mechanism by
-which PPP frames carried through an L2TP session are passed through
-the kernel's PPP subsystem. The standard PPP daemon, pppd, handles all
-PPP interaction with the peer. PPP network interfaces are created for
-each local PPP endpoint.
-
-The L2TP protocol http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2661.html defines L2TP
-control and data frames. L2TP control frames carry messages between
-L2TP clients/servers and are used to setup / teardown tunnels and
-sessions. An L2TP client or server is implemented in userspace and
-will use a regular UDP socket per tunnel. L2TP data frames carry PPP
-frames, which may be PPP control or PPP data. The kernel's PPP
+The L2TP protocol separates control and data frames. The L2TP kernel
+drivers handle only L2TP data frames; control frames are always
+handled by userspace. L2TP control frames carry messages between L2TP
+clients/servers and are used to setup / teardown tunnels and
+sessions. An L2TP client or server is implemented in userspace.
+
+Each L2TP tunnel is implemented using a UDP or L2TPIP socket; L2TPIP
+provides L2TPv3 IP encapsulation (no UDP) and is implemented using a
+new l2tpip socket family. The tunnel socket is typically created by
+userspace, though for unmanaged L2TPv3 tunnels, the socket can also be
+created by the kernel. Each L2TP session (pseudowire) gets a network
+interface instance. In the case of PPP, these interfaces are created
+indirectly by pppd using a pppol2tp socket. In the case of ethernet,
+the netdevice is created upon a netlink request to create an L2TPv3
+ethernet pseudowire.
+
+For PPP, the PPPoL2TP driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_ppp.c, provides a
+mechanism by which PPP frames carried through an L2TP session are
+passed through the kernel's PPP subsystem. The standard PPP daemon,
+pppd, handles all PPP interaction with the peer. PPP network
+interfaces are created for each local PPP endpoint. The kernel's PPP
subsystem arranges for PPP control frames to be delivered to pppd,
while data frames are forwarded as usual.
+For ethernet, the L2TPETH driver, net/l2tp/l2tp_eth.c, implements a
+netdevice driver, managing virtual ethernet devices, one per
+pseudowire. These interfaces can be managed using standard Linux tools
+such as "ip" and "ifconfig". If only IP frames are passed over the
+tunnel, the interface can be given an IP addresses of itself and its
+peer. If non-IP frames are to be passed over the tunnel, the interface
+can be added to a bridge using brctl. All L2TP datapath protocol
+functions are handled by the L2TP core driver.
+
Each tunnel and session within a tunnel is assigned a unique tunnel_id
and session_id. These ids are carried in the L2TP header of every
-control and data packet. The pppol2tp driver uses them to lookup
-internal tunnel and/or session contexts. Zero tunnel / session ids are
-treated specially - zero ids are never assigned to tunnels or sessions
-in the network. In the driver, the tunnel context keeps a pointer to
-the tunnel UDP socket. The session context keeps a pointer to the
-PPPoL2TP socket, as well as other data that lets the driver interface
-to the kernel PPP subsystem.
-
-Note that the pppol2tp kernel driver handles only L2TP data frames;
-L2TP control frames are simply passed up to userspace in the UDP
-tunnel socket. The kernel handles all datapath aspects of the
-protocol, including data packet resequencing (if enabled).
-

+general procedure to create a new L2TP tunnel with one session is:-
+
+1. Open a GENL socket using L2TP_GENL_NAME for configuring the kernel

+
+2. Create a UDP or L2TPIP socket for the tunnel.

+3. Create a new L2TP tunnel using a L2TP_CMD_TUNNEL_CREATE

+
+4. Create a new L2TP session in the tunnel using a
+ L2TP_CMD_SESSION_CREATE request.
+
+The tunnel and all of its sessions are closed when the tunnel socket
+is closed. The netlink API may also be used to delete sessions and
+tunnels. Configuration and status info may be set or read using netlink.
+
+The L2TP driver also supports static (unmanaged) L2TPv3 tunnels. These
+are where there is no L2TP control message exchange with the peer to
+setup the tunnel; the tunnel is configured manually at each end of the
+tunnel. There is no need for an L2TP userspace application in this
+case -- the tunnel socket is created by the kernel and configured
+using parameters sent in the L2TP_CMD_TUNNEL_CREATE netlink
+request. The "ip" utility of iproute2 has commands for managing static
+L2TPv3 tunnels; do "ip l2tp help" for more information.

+Internal Implementation
+=======================
+
+The driver keeps a struct l2tp_tunnel context per L2TP tunnel and a
+struct l2tp_session context for each session. The l2tp_tunnel is
+always associated with a UDP or L2TP/IP socket and keeps a list of
+sessions in the tunnel. The l2tp_session context keeps kernel state
+about the session. It has private data which is used for data specific
+to the session type. With L2TPv2, the session always carried PPP
+traffic. With L2TPv3, the session can also carry ethernet frames
+(ethernet pseudowire) or other data types such as ATM, HDLC or Frame
+Relay.
+
+When a tunnel is first opened, the reference count on the socket is
+increased using sock_hold(). This ensures that the kernel socket
+cannot be removed while L2TP's data structures reference it.
+
+Some L2TP sessions also have a socket (PPP pseudowires) while others
+do not (ethernet pseudowires). We can't use the socket reference count
+as the reference count for session contexts. The L2TP implementation
+therefore has its own internal reference counts on the session
+contexts.
+
+To Do
+=====
+
+Add L2TP tunnel switching support. This would route tunneled traffic
+from one L2TP tunnel into another. Specified in

+The padata parallel execution mechanism
+Last updated for 2.6.34
+
+Padata is a mechanism by which the kernel can farm work out to be done in
+parallel on multiple CPUs while retaining the ordering of tasks. It was
+developed for use with the IPsec code, which needs to be able to perform
+encryption and decryption on large numbers of packets without reordering
+those packets. The crypto developers made a point of writing padata in a
+sufficiently general fashion that it could be put to other uses as well.
+
+The first step in using padata is to set up a padata_instance structure for
+overall control of how tasks are to be run:
+
+ #include <linux/padata.h>
+
+ struct padata_instance *padata_alloc(const struct cpumask *cpumask,
+ struct workqueue_struct *wq);
+
+The cpumask describes which processors will be used to execute work
+submitted to this instance. The workqueue wq is where the work will
+actually be done; it should be a multithreaded queue, naturally.
+
+There are functions for enabling and disabling the instance:
+
+ void padata_start(struct padata_instance *pinst);
+ void padata_stop(struct padata_instance *pinst);
+
+These functions literally do nothing beyond setting or clearing the
+"padata_start() was called" flag; if that flag is not set, other functions
+will refuse to work.
+
+The list of CPUs to be used can be adjusted with these functions:
+
+ int padata_set_cpumask(struct padata_instance *pinst,
+ cpumask_var_t cpumask);
+ int padata_add_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu);
+ int padata_remove_cpu(struct padata_instance *pinst, int cpu);
+
+Changing the CPU mask has the look of an expensive operation, though, so it
+probably should not be done with great frequency.
+
+Actually submitting work to the padata instance requires the creation of a
+padata_priv structure:
+
+ struct padata_priv {
+ /* Other stuff here... */
+ void (*parallel)(struct padata_priv *padata);
+ void (*serial)(struct padata_priv *padata);
+ };
+
+This structure will almost certainly be embedded within some larger
+structure specific to the work to be done. Most its fields are private to
+padata, but the structure should be zeroed at initialization time, and the
+parallel() and serial() functions should be provided. Those functions will
+be called in the process of getting the work done as we will see
+momentarily.
+
+The submission of work is done with:
+
+ int padata_do_parallel(struct padata_instance *pinst,
+ struct padata_priv *padata, int cb_cpu);
+
+The pinst and padata structures must be set up as described above; cb_cpu
+specifies which CPU will be used for the final callback when the work is
+done; it must be in the current instance's CPU mask. The return value from
+padata_do_parallel() is a little strange; zero is an error return
+indicating that the caller forgot the padata_start() formalities. -EBUSY
+means that somebody, somewhere else is messing with the instance's CPU
+mask, while -EINVAL is a complaint about cb_cpu not being in that CPU mask.
+If all goes well, this function will return -EINPROGRESS, indicating that
+the work is in progress.
+
+Each task submitted to padata_do_parallel() will, in turn, be passed to
+exactly one call to the above-mentioned parallel() function, on one CPU, so
+true parallelism is achieved by submitting multiple tasks. Despite the
+fact that the workqueue is used to make these calls, parallel() is run with
+software interrupts disabled and thus cannot sleep. The parallel()
+function gets the padata_priv structure pointer as its lone parameter;
+information about the actual work to be done is probably obtained by using
+container_of() to find the enclosing structure.
+
+Note that parallel() has no return value; the padata subsystem assumes that
+parallel() will take responsibility for the task from this point. The work
+need not be completed during this call, but, if parallel() leaves work
+outstanding, it should be prepared to be called again with a new job before
+the previous one completes. When a task does complete, parallel() (or
+whatever function actually finishes the job) should inform padata of the
+fact with a call to:
+
+ void padata_do_serial(struct padata_priv *padata);
+
+At some point in the future, padata_do_serial() will trigger a call to the
+serial() function in the padata_priv structure. That call will happen on
+the CPU requested in the initial call to padata_do_parallel(); it, too, is
+done through the workqueue, but with local software interrupts disabled.
+Note that this call may be deferred for a while since the padata code takes
+pains to ensure that tasks are completed in the order in which they were
+submitted.
+
+The one remaining function in the padata API should be called to clean up
+when a padata instance is no longer needed:
+
+ void padata_free(struct padata_instance *pinst);
+
+This function will busy-wait while any remaining tasks are completed, so it
+might be best not to call it while there is work outstanding. Shutting
+down the workqueue, if necessary, should be done separately.

+Background
+==========
+
+Bulk endpoint streams were added in the USB 3.0 specification. Streams allow a
+device driver to overload a bulk endpoint so that multiple transfers can be
+queued at once.
+
+Streams are defined in sections 4.4.6.4 and 8.12.1.4 of the Universal Serial Bus
+3.0 specification at http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/ The USB Attached SCSI
+Protocol, which uses streams to queue multiple SCSI commands, can be found on
+the T10 website (http://t10.org/).
+
+
+Device-side implications
+========================
+
+Once a buffer has been queued to a stream ring, the device is notified (through
+an out-of-band mechanism on another endpoint) that data is ready for that stream
+ID. The device then tells the host which "stream" it wants to start. The host
+can also initiate a transfer on a stream without the device asking, but the
+device can refuse that transfer. Devices can switch between streams at any
+time.
+
+
+Driver implications
+===================
+
+int usb_alloc_streams(struct usb_interface *interface,
+ struct usb_host_endpoint **eps, unsigned int num_eps,
+ unsigned int num_streams, gfp_t mem_flags);
+
+Device drivers will call this API to request that the host controller driver
+allocate memory so the driver can use up to num_streams stream IDs. They must
+pass an array of usb_host_endpoints that need to be setup with similar stream
+IDs. This is to ensure that a UASP driver will be able to use the same stream
+ID for the bulk IN and OUT endpoints used in a Bi-directional command sequence.
+
+The return value is an error condition (if one of the endpoints doesn't support
+streams, or the xHCI driver ran out of memory), or the number of streams the
+host controller allocated for this endpoint. The xHCI host controller hardware
+declares how many stream IDs it can support, and each bulk endpoint on a
+SuperSpeed device will say how many stream IDs it can handle. Therefore,
+drivers should be able to deal with being allocated less stream IDs than they
+requested.
+
+Do NOT call this function if you have URBs enqueued for any of the endpoints
+passed in as arguments. Do not call this function to request less than two
+streams.
+
+Drivers will only be allowed to call this API once for the same endpoint
+without calling usb_free_streams(). This is a simplification for the xHCI host
+controller driver, and may change in the future.
+
+
+Picking new Stream IDs to use
+============================
+
+Stream ID 0 is reserved, and should not be used to communicate with devices. If
+usb_alloc_streams() returns with a value of N, you may use streams 1 though N.
+To queue an URB for a specific stream, set the urb->stream_id value. If the
+endpoint does not support streams, an error will be returned.
+
+Note that new API to choose the next stream ID will have to be added if the xHCI
+driver supports secondary stream IDs.
+
+
+Clean up
+========
+
+If a driver wishes to stop using streams to communicate with the device, it
+should call
+
+void usb_free_streams(struct usb_interface *interface,
+ struct usb_host_endpoint **eps, unsigned int num_eps,
+ gfp_t mem_flags);
+
+All stream IDs will be deallocated when the driver releases the interface, to
+ensure that drivers that don't support streams will be able to use the endpoint.

+ You can add as many HID functions as you want, only limited by

+
+Send and receive HID reports
+
+ HID reports can be sent/received using read/write on the
+ /dev/hidgX character devices. See below for an example program
+ to do this.
+
+ hid_gadget_test is a small interactive program to test the HID
+ gadget driver. To use, point it at a hidg device and set the
+ device type (keyboard / mouse / joystick) - E.G.:
+
+ # hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg0 keyboard
+
+ You are now in the prompt of hid_gadget_test. You can type any
+ combination of options and values. Available options and
+ values are listed at program start. In keyboard mode you can
+ send up to six values.
+
+ For example type: g i s t r --left-shift
+
+ Hit return and the corresponding report will be sent by the
+ HID gadget.
+
+ Another interesting example is the caps lock test. Type
+ -–caps-lock and hit return. A report is then sent by the
+ gadget and you should receive the host answer, corresponding
+ to the caps lock LED status.
+
+ --caps-lock
+ recv report:2
+
+ With this command:
+
+ # hid_gadget_test /dev/hidg1 mouse
+
+ You can test the mouse emulation. Values are two signed numbers.
