Cool!  Greg, 2.5 version (attached) looks fine to me.  If it
applies against your BK repository, please merge it.

The 2.4.20 version looks to be using an older version of the
usbnet driver, so please don't merge that one.  I'll resync in
a while.

By the way, I found out that it's not "the www.handhelds.org"
kernel but the standard ARM kernels (like 2.4.29-rmk2) that
have the "usb-eth" driver for the SA-1100.  They're going to
need similar changes (switch endpoints for pxa250 versions).

Time to actually look at the endpoint descriptors, maybe ... :)

This patch switches the usb-storage driver to using the new USB core
scatter-gather primitives.  This _should_ create a significant performance
gain.

This patch fixes a return code that was mangled during a hand-merging of
some code changes.

USB: fix the usb drivers outside the drivers/usb tree due to interrupt urb no automatic resubmission change to the usb core.

USB: fix the usb misc drivers due to interrupt urb no automatic resubmission change to the usb core.

USB: fix the usb media drivers due to interrupt urb no automatic resubmission change to the usb core.

USB: fix the usb class drivers due to interrupt urb no automatic resubmission change to the usb core

USB: fix the usb input drivers due to interrupt urb no automatic resubmission change to the usb core.

USB: fix the usb serial drivers due to interrupt urb no automatic resubmission change to the usb core.

Here's that promised patch to remove the problematic "automagic
resubmit" mode from the API for interrupt transfers.  It covers
the core (including main HCDs) and a few essential drivers.

All urbs now obey a simple rule:  submit them once, then wait for
some completion callback.  Or unlink the urb if you're impatient,
canceling the i/o request (which may have been partially completed).
Bulk and interrupt transfers now behave the same at the API level,
except that only interrupt transfers have bandwidth failure modes.


Previously, interrupt transfers were different from bulk transfers
in several ways that made limited sense.  The only thing that's
supposed to be special is achieving service latency guarantees by
using the reserved periodic bandwidth.

But there were a lot of other restrictions, plus HCD-dependent
behaviors/bugs.  Doing something like sending a 97 byte message
to a device portably was a thing of pain, since the low-level
"one packet per interval" rule was pushed up to drivers instead
of being handled inside HCDs like it is for bulk, and sending a
final "short" packet meant an urb unlink/relink.  (Fixing this
required UHCI to use a queue of TDs, like EHCI and OHCI; fixed
by 2.5.44, and a small change in this patch.  I'm not sure the
unlink/relink issues have ever been really addressed.)  Neither
1-msec transfer intervals nor USB 2.0 "high bandwidth" mode can
reliably be serviced without a multi-buffered queue of interrupt
transfers.  (Comes almost for free with TD queueing; as of 2.5.44
all HCDs should do this.)

And then there's "automagic resubmission", which made HCDs
keep urbs during their complete() callbacks in a rather curious
state ... half-owned by HCD, half-owned by device driver, not
exactly linked but maybe not unlinked either.  Bug-prone, and
hard to test.


So that's all gone now!  This particular patch

  - updates the main hcds to use normal urb-completion logic
    for interrupt transfers, nothing special. (*)

  - makes usbcore (hub and root hub drivers) expect that, and
    removes an old kernel 2.3 "urb state confusion" workaround.
    (urb->dev is no longer nulled to distinguish unlinked urbs,
    since there's no longer a "half-in/half-out" state.)  also
    the relevent kerneldoc is updated.

  - enables the 'usbtest' support for interrupt transfers, in
    both queued and non-queued modes.  (but I haven't made time
    to test this ... the hcds "should" be fine since they use the
    same code now for bulk and interrupt, and bulk checked out.)

  - teaches hid-core, usbkbd, and usbmouse how to resubmit
    interrupt transfers explicitly. usb keyboards/mice work,
    but some less-common HID devices won't.

  - updated usb/net drivers (catc, kaweth, pegasus, rtl8150)

But it doesn't update all device drivers that use interrupt
transfers.  The failure mode for un-converted drivers will
be that interrupts after the first one get lost, and the
fix for those drivers will be simple (see what the drivers
here do).


(*) It doesn't touch non-{E,O,U}HCI HCDs, like the SL-811HS,
     since those changes will require hardware as well as
     some quality time with 'usbtest'.

driver core: add support for calling /sbin/hotplug when classes are found and removed from the system.

The EHCI driver was never adjusting the full speed maximum packet size up
(when enumerating through a transaction translating hub).  This broke the
enumeration of some devices (maxpacket != 8) pretty early.

This patch updates EHCI to fix the bug, and does minor cleanup to usbcore
logic that figures out ep0 maxpacket.  I left the partial read in for all
speeds, even though only full speed needs it.

The following one line patch (against 2.5.44) fixes an index problem when
connecting a new hiddev
device, when kernel isn't compiled with CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS. Previous
attempt to open
hiddev device terminated with an ENODEV error. Note that this fix works with
either dynamic minors
flag enabled or not.

This is in addition to the previous patch. It should allow any programs
that read entire frames to receive a new frame with each successive read.
Programs that read less than the entire frame will read until they reach
the end of the frame. They will then read 0 bytes (signifying EOF). The
next read will start the next frame.

The following patch removes the old framebuf_size and framebuf_read_start
values from the cam structure and simplifes the read function. It also
moves the needs dummy read check into the read_frame function. cp and dd
should both still work.

Inlined are a few more patches to 2.5.43 that fix problems that
were discovered during QA.

1-firm4.07 :: I've moved to the bottom since it's huge

Updates the firmware to 4.07. Fixes a bug introduced in 4.05 where
RTS is high after boot. Also fixes a bug where the whiteheat would
allow data reception after boot when no ports were open.

2-fix-dtr-rts

I didn't know this, but the firmware open command also handles
raising the signals for me. This code is superflous.

3-fix-read-urb

Read polling was started right away in whiteheat_open(). Coupled
with the firmware bug fixed above where data could be received
by a port that wasn't open, this caused the whiteheat_read_callback
to fire before open() was finished, and in some cases this caused
harm to the tty layer. I didn't track down the exact mechanism
because either moving the read polling to the last operation of open()
or using the fixed firmware caused the crash to stop happening. I
have stack traces if you'd like to have a look; it looks like something
scribbles on the stack, but I couldn't figure out what eactly, as the
scribbled data didn't match anything in the whiteheat driver or the
test applications.

4-fix-ixoff

RELEVANT_IFLAG masks off the software flow control bits, so that
a change that is restricted to the soft flow bits will be ignored. This
is the email I sent earlier; I've decided to just not use the macro for
now, but I'd still like to know if the macro should be fixed,.

..Stu

This is a slightly cleaned up version of that earlier patch:

- Makes both copies of the clear_halt() logic know that
   usb_pipein() returns boolean (zero/not) not integer (0/1).
   This resolves a problem folk have had with usb-storage.
   (I looked at kernel uses of usb_pipein and it really was
   only the clear_halt logic that cares.)

- Removes some code from the "standard" version; no point
   in Linux expecting devices to do something neither Microsoft
   nor Apple will test for.

This is Pavel's patch, with some cleanups and re-sorting of
the various SA-1100 cases.  According to Pavel this works
as well as his earlier version ... which is to say, maybe
not yet, he saw a uhci "very bad" error (on 2.5.43).

I'm sending it along since it's clearly the right way to
support the Zaurus, and it can't be that far off given the
code I've seen.

This should resolve the problems Nicolas Mailhot reported,
where an old BIOS seemed reluctant to release the controller
and the dbg() message delayed things enough to work.  At
worst, it'll eliminate dbg() messages as a factor.

Thanks to Hiroyuki ARAKI <hiro@zob.ne.jp> for the information.

The problem was that when the refcount hit 0, it was unconditionally
assuming that it had been added, which is wrong.  The patch below
corrects that, and fixes the Oops when loading the floppy driver.

Several ports (x86-64,ppc64,sparc64) which do 32bit ioctl emulation
have functions for drivers to let them define their own translation
handlers. So far it was a bit complicated to use because there
was no standard include file that declares the prototypes for this
stuff. Then drivers and other subsystems can start to declare their own
ioctl translation handlers.

This patch add include/linux/ioctl32.h to fix this.

The actual implementation is in arch specific code. It has been coordinated
with DaveM and Anton.

This patch is needed for the x86-64 merge I sent in separate mail.

There is currently no preprocessor symbol that the drivers can test
to see if they should use this. So far they have to check arch symbols.
This will be fixed later when all 64bit ports that need it add the dynamic
ioctl registration API too (that's ia64,s390x,mips64)

This fixes a few files that got lost with the last merge and merges
with 2.5.43/i386.  Only changes architecture specific files.

It depends on one other patch (for linux/ioctl32.h) which I'm sending
separately.

Changes:
- Include missing files (pageattr.c) and Makefile changes
- Update IA32 subsystem. Various small fixes and a big merge
  with sparc64.
- Change HZ to 1000
- Merge some of the 2.5.43/i386 profiling changes. No full oprofile yet.
- Fix many warnings
- Update defconfig
- Various other smaller cleanups and bugfixes.
