[PATCH] usb: fix uss720 schedule with interrupts off

2005-09-12T19:23:53+00:00

This patch fixes the long standing schedule with interrupts off problem
of the uss720 driver. The problem is caused by the parport layer calling
the save and restore methods within a write_lock_irqsave guarded region.
The fix is to issue the control transaction requests required by save
and restore asynchronously.

[PATCH] USB: sisusb[vga] update

2005-09-12T19:23:38+00:00

here is a new and extended version of the sisusbvga (previously: sisusb)
driver. The patch is against 2.6.13 and updates the driver to version 0.0.8.

Additions include complete VGA/EGA text console support and a build-in
display mode infrastructure for userland applications that don't know
 about the graphics internals.

Fixes include some BE/LE issues and a get/put_dev bug in the previous
version.

Other changes include a change of the module name from "sisusb" to
"sisusbvga". The previous one was too generic IMHO.

Please note that the patch also affects the Makefile in
drivers/video/console as the driver requires the VGA 8x16 font in case
the text console part is selected.

Heavily tested, as usual. Please apply.

One thing though: I already prepared for removal of the "mode" field and
the changed "name" field in the usb_class_driver structure. This will
perhaps need some refinement depending on whether you/Linus merge the
respective core changes before or after 2.6.14.

[PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel

2005-09-08T23:23:04+00:00

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."

Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."

Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

[PATCH] swsusp: switch pm_message_t to struct

2005-09-05T07:06:16+00:00

This adds type-checking to pm_message_t, so that people can't confuse it
with int or u32.  It also allows us to fix "disk yoyo" during suspend (disk
spinning down/up/down).

[We've tried that before; since that cpufreq problems were fixed and I've
tried make allyes config and fixed resulting damage.]

[PATCH] USB: add ldusb driver

2005-07-12T18:52:57+00:00

The following driver provides complete interrupt-in and interrupt-out
reports (raw data) to a user program. Until now it uses the
HIDIOCGDEVINFO ioctl call, because I don't know better :-(. Perhaps, it
will be ok for you - and I will be happy, if you assign 8 minor numbers.

I have tested it in several environments and it works very well for me.
However, it has a problem with two or more devices at the same hub, if
the two or more devices need 1 ms interrupt-in transfers. Unfortunately
more than one interrupt-in transfer every ms isn't possible (ehci
driver?). This is why the min_interrupt_in_interval and
min_interrupt_out_interval are increased to 2 ms (see the corresponding
module parameters). This way, I can use two devices simultaneously at
the same hub.

[PATCH] USB: usbtest updates

2005-06-27T21:43:46+00:00

Updates to "usbtest" driver:

  * Improve some diagnostics.  One path that never generated diagnostics
    before should now generate two ... unless you hit a GCC bug that
    all my compilers seem to have, go figure.

  * Add suspend/resume support, so this behaves when the Linux host
    being used for testing suspends.

  * Don't test the "zero byte ep0 read" case unless real-world relevance
    for the testing is is irrelevant.
