I've found some new datasheets which describe some additionally supported standard baud rates and I've verified them with my HX (rev. 3A) device. But adding support for individual (chip type specific) baud rates would add a good amount of extra code (especially when support for further chips will be added to the driver one day), which makes no sense as long as we are not using the direct baud rate encoding method for newer chips. So for now, just drop a comment about these additionally supported baud rates. The second comment is about the baud rate differences between the two encoding methods. In theory, we could optimize the code a bit by comparing the resulting baud rates of both methods and selecting the one which is closer to the requested baud rate. But that seems to be a bit overkill, because the differences are very small and the device likely uses the same baud rate generator for both methods so that the resulting baud rate would be the same.

usb: pl2303: also use the divisor based baud rate encoding method for baud rates < 115200 with HX chips Now that the divisor based baud rate encoding method has been fixed and extended, it can also be used for baud rates < 115200 baud with HX chips. This makes it possible to adjust the baud rate almost continuously instead of just beeing able to select between 16 fixed standard values. Tested with a PL2303HX 04463A (week 46, 2004, rev 3A).

Reinhard Max has done some tests with a PL2303HX (rev A) and a logic analyzer and it seems, that although the PL2303HX is specified for baud rates from 75 to 6M baud, the full divisor range can be used with the divisor based baud rate encoding method. This corresponds to baud rates from 46 to 24M baud. Baud rates down to 46 baud (max. divisor) have been confirmed to work even under heavy/permanent load, so remove the lower limit. Baud rates up to 24M baud should really be tested carefully in "real life" scenarios before removing the upper limit completely. Anyway, the Windows driver allows maximum baud rates of 110% of the specified limit, so for now, increase the upper limit to this value.

Commit 0c967e7e "USB: serial: pl2303 works at 500kbps" added 500000 baud to the list of supported standard baud rates. But the reason why the driver works with this baud rate is, that since commit 8d48fdf6 "USB: PL2303: correctly handle baudrates above 115200" a second (divisor based) baud rate encoding method is used for values above 115200 baud, which is not limited to a fixed set of standard baud rates. Remove the 500000 baud value from the list of standard baud rates again, because this list is only used with the direct baud rate encoding method and 500000 baud is not supported with this method.

usb: pl2303: do not round to the next nearest standard baud rate for the divisor based baud rate encoding method In opposition to the direct baud rate encoding method, the divisor based method is not limited to a fixed set of standard baud rates.

Based on the formula in the code description, Reinhard Max and me have investigated the devices behavior / functional principle of the divisor based baud rate encoding method. It turned out, that (although beeing a good starting point) the current code has some flaws. It doesn't work correctly for a wide range of baud rates and the divisor resolution can be improved. It also doesn't report the actually set baud rate. This patch fixes and improves the code for the divisor based baud rate encoding method a lot. It can now be used for the whole range of baud rates from 46 baud to 24M baud with a very good divisor resolution and userspace can read back the resulting baud rate. It also documents the formula used for encoding and the hardware behavior (including special cases). The basic algorithm, rounding and several code comments/explanations are provided by Reinhard Max. I've added some minor fixes, the handling of the special cases and further code/algorithm descriptions.

In the disconnect routine for the hwa_hc interface, it calls uwb_pal_unregister to unregister itself from the UWB subsystem. This function attempts to clean up the link to the host controller directory in the device's UWB radio control interface directory. If the disconnect routine for the radio control interface has already run, the uwb directory will be gone so the call to sysfs_remove_link generates a warning.

This patch fixes a kernel panic that can occur when unplugging the HWA dongle while a downstream device is in the process of disconnecting. This involved 2 changes. First, call usb_lock_device_for_reset before usb_reset_device to synchronize the HWA's post_rest and disconnect routines. Second, set the hwarc->neep_urb and hwarc->rd_buffer to NULL when they are freed in the error path in the post_reset routine. This prevents a double free when the disconnect routine is called and attempts to free those resources again.

wa_urb_enqueue_run locks and unlocks its list lock as it traverses the list of queued transfers. This was done to prevent deadlocking due to acquiring locks in reverse order in different places. The problem is that releasing the lock during the list traversal could allow the dequeue routine to corrupt the list while it is being iterated over. This patch moves all list entries to a temp list while holding the list lock, then traverses the temp list with no lock held.

The hub_status_data function on the wireless USB root hub controller (wusbhc_rh_status_data) always returns a positive value even if no ports have changed. This patch updates wusbhc_rh_status_data to only return a positive value if the root hub status needs to be queried. The current implementation can also leave the upper bits of the port bitmap uninitialized if wusbhc->ports_max is not one less than an even multiple of 8.

The USB Embedded High-speed Host Electrical Test (EHSET) defines the SINGLE_STEP_SET_FEATURE test as follows: 1) The host enumerates the test device with VID:0x1A0A, PID:0x0108 2) The host sends the SETUP stage of a GetDescriptor(Device) 3) The device ACKs the request 4) The host issues SOFs for 15 seconds allowing the test operator to raise the scope trigger just above the SOF voltage level 5) The host sends the IN packet 6) The device sends data in response, triggering the scope 7) The host sends an ACK in response to the data This patch adds additional handling to the EHCI hub driver and allows the EHSET driver to initiate this test mode by issuing a a SetFeature request to the root hub with a Test Selector value of 0x06. From there it mimics ehci_urb_enqueue() but separately submits QTDs for the SETUP and DATA/STATUS stages in order to insert a delay in between.

When CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT is not selected we get things like: scripts/kconfig/mconf Kconfig warning: (MIPS_SEAD3 && PMC_MSP && CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON) selects USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO which has unmet direct dependencies (USB_SUPPORT && USB) It is much cleaner to make the various system Kconfigs select USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO rather than move the system config information into USB's Kconfig, but the warnings are annoying. Eliminate the warning by moving the definition of USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO outside of all the Kconfig if statements. While we are at it move USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_DESC, USB_OHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO, USB_OHCI_LITTLE_ENDIAN and USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_DESC too, as they could very well suffer similar problems for other systems.

ehci-hcd currently unlinks an interrupt QH when it becomes empty, that is, after its last URB completes. This works well because in almost all cases, the completion handler for an interrupt URB resubmits the URB; therefore the QH doesn't become empty and doesn't get unlinked. When we start using tasklets for URB completion, this scheme won't work as well. The resubmission won't occur until the tasklet runs, which will be some time after the completion is queued with the tasklet. During that delay, the QH will be empty and so will be unlinked unnecessarily. To prevent this problem, this patch adds a 5-ms time delay before empty interrupt QHs are unlinked. Most often, during that time the interrupt URB will be resubmitted and thus we can avoid unlinking the QH.

The patch does the below improvement: - think QH_STATE_COMPLETING as unlinking state since all URBs on the endpoint should be in unlinking or unlinked when doing endpoint_disable() - add "WARN_ON(!list_empty(&qh->qtd_list));" if qh->qh_state is QH_STATE_LINKED because there shouldn't be any active transfer in qh - when qh->qh_state is QH_STATE_LINKED, the QH(async or periodic) should be in its corresponding list, so the search through the async list isn't necessary. - unlink periodic QH to speed up unlinking if the QH is in linked state Basically, only the last one is related with this patchset because the assumption of "periodic qh self-unlinks on empty" isn't true any more when we introduce unlink-wait for periodic qh.

There is no good reason to run complete() in hard interrupt disabled context. After switch to run complete() in tasklet, we will enable local IRQs when calling complete() since we can do it at that time. Even though we still disable IRQs now when calling complete() in tasklet, the URB documentation is updated to claim complete() will be run in tasklet context and local IRQs will be enabled, so that USB drivers can know the change and avoid one deadlock caused by: assume IRQs disabled in complete() and call spin_lock() to hold lock which might be acquired in interrupt context. Current spin_lock() usages in drivers' complete() will be cleaned up at the same time, and once the cleanup is finished, local IRQs will be enabled when calling complete() in tasklet. Also fix description about type of usb_complete_t, and remove the advice of running completion handler in tasklet for decreasing system latency.

This patch implements the mechanism of giveback of URB in tasklet context, so that hardware interrupt handling time for usb host controller can be saved much, and HCD interrupt handling can be simplified. Motivations: 1), on some arch(such as ARM), DMA mapping/unmapping is a bit time-consuming, for example: when accessing usb mass storage via EHCI on pandaboard, the common length of transfer buffer is 120KB, the time consumed on DMA unmapping may reach hundreds of microseconds; even on A15 based box, the time is still about scores of microseconds 2), on some arch, reading DMA coherent memoery is very time-consuming, the most common example is usb video class driver[1] 3), driver's complete() callback may do much things which is driver specific, so the time is consumed unnecessarily in hardware irq context. 4), running driver's complete() callback in hardware irq context causes that host controller driver has to release its lock in interrupt handler, so reacquiring the lock after return may busy wait a while and increase interrupt handling time. More seriously, releasing the HCD lock makes HCD becoming quite complicated to deal with introduced races. So the patch proposes to run giveback of URB in tasklet context, then time consumed in HCD irq handling doesn't depend on drivers' complete and DMA mapping/unmapping any more, also we can simplify HCD since the HCD lock isn't needed to be released during irq handling. The patch should be reasonable and doable: 1), for drivers, they don't care if the complete() is called in hard irq context or softirq context 2), the biggest change is the situation in which usb_submit_urb() is called in complete() callback, so the introduced tasklet schedule delay might be a con, but it shouldn't be a big deal: - control/bulk asynchronous transfer isn't sensitive to schedule delay - the patch schedules giveback of periodic URBs using tasklet_hi_schedule, so the introduced delay should be very small - for ISOC transfer, generally, drivers submit several URBs concurrently to avoid interrupt delay, so it is OK with the little schedule delay. - for interrupt transfer, generally, drivers only submit one URB at the same time, but interrupt transfer is often used in event report, polling, ... situations, and a little delay should be OK. Considered that HCDs may optimize on submitting URB in complete(), the patch may cause the optimization not working, so introduces one flag to mark if the HCD supports to run giveback URB in tasklet context. When all HCDs are ready, the flag can be removed.
