commit cb88a1b887bb8908f6e00ce29e893ea52b074940 upstream.

This patch (as1255) updates the interface for calling
usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer().  Even the name of the function is changed!

When an async URB (i.e., Control or Bulk) going through a high-speed
hub to a non-high-speed device is cancelled or fails, the hub's
Transaction Translator buffer may be left busy still trying to
complete the transaction.  The buffer has to be cleared; that's what
usb_hub_clear_tt_buffer() does.

It isn't safe to send any more URBs to the same endpoint until the TT
buffer is fully clear.  Therefore the HCD needs to be told when the
Clear-TT-Buffer request has finished.  This patch adds a callback
method to struct hc_driver for that purpose, and makes the hub driver
invoke the callback at the proper time.

The patch also changes a couple of names; "hub_tt_kevent" and
"tt.kevent" now look rather antiquated.

<title>USB: devio: Properly do access_ok() checks</title>

commit 18753ebc8a98efe0e8ff6167afb31cef220c8e50 upstream.

access_ok() checks must be done on every part of the userspace structure
that is accessed. If access_ok() on one part of the struct succeeded, it
does not imply it will succeed on other parts of the struct. (Does
depend on the architecture implementation of access_ok()).

This changes the __get_user() users to first check access_ok() on the
data structure.

This patch (as1272) changes the error code returned when an open call
for a USB device node fails to locate the corresponding device.  The
appropriate error code is -ENODEV, not -ENOENT.

commit 0cce2eda19923e5e5ccc8b042dec5af87b3ffad0 upstream.

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

commit d794a02111cd3393da69bc7d6dd2b6074bd037cc upstream.

This patch fixes a memory leak in devio.c::processcompl

If writing to user space fails the packet must be discarded, as it
already has been removed from the queue of completed packets.

commit 9180135bc80ab11199d482b6111e23f74d65af4a upstream.

This patch (as1262) fixes a bug in usbfs: It refuses to accept
zero-length transfers, and it insists that the buffer pointer be valid
even if there is no data being transferred.

The patch also consolidates a bunch of repetitive access_ok() checks
into a single check, which incidentally fixes the lack of such a check
for Isochronous URBs.

Oddly, I remembered fixing this and putting in __GFP_NOWARN
because uvcvideo retries a smaller allocation. However, the
allocation function doesn't pass the gfp flags through to
dma_alloc_coherent so we still get the warning!

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.

transfer_buffer_length and actual_length have become unsigned, therefore some
additional conversion of local variables, function arguments and print
specifications is desired.

A test for a negative urb-&gt;transfer_buffer_length became obsolete; instead
we ensure that it does not exceed INT_MAX. Also, urb-&gt;actual_length is always
less than urb-&gt;transfer_buffer_length.

rh_string() does no longer return -EPIPE in the case of an unsupported ID.
Instead its only caller, rh_call_control() does the check.
