<content type='text'>
When multiple wireless USB devices are connected and one of the devices
disconnects, the host will distribute a new group key to the remaining
devicese using wusbhc_gtk_rekey.  wusbhc_gtk_rekey takes the
wusbhc-&gt;mutex and holds it while it submits a URB to set the new key.
This causes a deadlock in wa_urb_enqueue when it calls a device lookup
helper function that takes the same lock.

This patch changes wusbhc_gtk_rekey to submit a work item to set the GTK
so that the URB is submitted without holding wusbhc-&gt;mutex.

This patch modifies the device notification handler to not look up the
wusb_dev object before it calls the lower-level handler routines since
the wusbhc mutex is not held when calling those routines and the device
could go away in the meantime.  Instead, let the individual notification
handlers get the device ptr if they need to after they have taken the
mutex.

<title>usb: wusbcore: send keepalives to unauthenticated devices</title>

<id>f4042c068ae53625e4a9f39543c2693d07a4e14c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch modifies the WUSB device disconnect timer code to send
keepalives to all connected devices even if they are not authenticated.
This fixes a problem where unauthenticated devices that lose their
connection before they are authenticated will stay in the device tree
forever.  More importantly, devices in this situation will never
relinquish their port on the root hub so eventually all root ports will
be taken up and no other devices can connect.

A comment in the existing code states that there are some devices that
may not respond to keepalives if they have not been authenticated.  That
comment is about 5 years old and I don't know of any WUSB devices that
act that way.  Either way, any buggy devices that may still be around
will continue to work as long as they can transition to the
authenticated state within the WUSB LOA timeout of 4s, which is not
unreasonable to expect.

<title>wusbcore: reduce keepalive threshold from timeout/2 to timeout/3</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch reduces the keepalive threshold of WUSB host controllers from
timeout/2 to timeout/3.  The keepalive timer fires every timeout/2 ms, but
due to rounding errors and jitter, the host may decide not to send a
keepalive at timeout/2.  By the time the next timer fires, a full timeout
period may have expired causing the device to be disconnected without ever
having been sent a keepalive.  Changing the keepalive threshold to
timeout/3 ensures that at least one keepalive will be sent before a device
is disconnected.  The patch also updates the code to use msecs_to_jiffies
consistently.

The "wusb_cap_descr_default" is never used.  GCC doesn't complain about
it because we have that line ".bLength = sizeof(wusb_cap_descr_default)"
inside the definition itself.  Clang complains though.

<title>usb: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE where needed</title>

With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence
of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed.
Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the
device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now.

Use the lightweight version of the header that has just THIS_MODULE
and EXPORT_SYMBOL variants.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
