2007-10-12usblp: mutex in usblp_check_statusPete Zaitcev
Add a mutex to protect the ->statusbuf. Not really an issue, because CUPS is single-threaded when it talks to the printer, but I feel safer this way. This should be deadlock-free, but I kept this as a separate patch in case someone ends running a git bisect.

2007-10-12usblp: Implement the ENOSPC conventionPete Zaitcev
This patch implements a mode when a printer returns ENOSPC when it runs out of paper. The default remains the same as before. An application which wishes to use this function has to enable it explicitly with an ioctl LPABORT. This is done on a request by our (Fedora) CUPS guy, Tim Waugh. The API is similar enough to the lp0's one that CUPS works with both (but see below), but it's has some differences. Most importantly, the abort mode is persistent in case of lp0: once tunelp was run your cat fill blow up until you reboot or run tunelp again. For usblp, I made it so the abort mode is only in effect as long as device is open. This way you can mix and match CUPS and cat(1) freely and nothing bad happens even if you run out of paper. It is also safer in the face of any unexpected crashes. It has to be noted that mixing LPABORT and O_NONBLOCK is not advised. It probably does not do what you want: instead of returning -ENOSPC it will always return -EAGAIN (because it would otherwise block while waiting for the paper). Applications which use O_NONBLOCK should continue to use LPGETSTATUS like before. Finally, CUPS actually requires patching to take full advantage of this. It has several components; those which invoke LPABORT work, but some of them need the ioctl added. This is completely compatible, you can mix old CUPS and new kernels or vice versa.

2007-08-22USB: cdc-acm: fix sysfs attribute registration bugAlan Stern
This patch (as950) fixes a bug in the cdc-acm driver. It doesn't keep track of which interface (control or data) the sysfs attributes get registered for, and as a result, during disconnect it will sometimes attempt to remove the attributes from the wrong interface. The left-over attributes can cause a crash later on, particularly if the driver module has been unloaded.

2007-07-19USB: usblp: "Big cleanup" breaks O_NONBLOCKPete Zaitcev
I found the first regresson in the rewritten ("all dynamic" and "no races") driver. If application uses O_NONBLOCK, I return -EAGAIN despite the URB being submitted successfuly. This causes the application to resubmit the same data erroneously. The fix is to pretend that the transfer has succeeded even if URB was merely queued.

2007-07-12USB: usblp: add dynamic URBs, fix racesPete Zaitcev
This patch's main bulk aims to make usblp the premier driver for code pillaging once again. The code is as streamlined as possible and is bug-free as possible. The usb-skeleton performs the same function, but is somewhat abstract. The usblp is usb-skeleton which is actually used by many. Since I combed a few small bugs away, this also fixes the small races we had in usblp for a while. For example, now it's possible for several threads to make write(2) calls (sounds silly, but consider a printer for paper record, where every line of text is self-contained and thus it's all right to have them interleaved). Also gone are issues with interrupts using barriers dangerously. This patch makes use of Oliver's anchor, and so it must trail the anchor patch on the way to Linus.

2007-01-05USB: usblp.c - add Kyocera Mita FS 820 to list of "quirky" printersMartin Williges
This patch gets the Kyocera FS-820 working with cups 1.2 via usb again. It adds the printer to the list of "quirky" printers. The printer seems not answer to ID requests some seconds after plugging in. Patch is based on linux-2.6.19.1. Background: As far as I could see (strace, usbmon), the Kyocera FS-820 answers to ID requests only a few seconds after plugging it in. This applies to detecting it with cups and is also true for the printing itself, which is initiated with an ID request. Since I have little usb knowledge, maybe someone can interpret the data, especially the fist bulk transfer - why request 8192 bytes?

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-01-10[PATCH] TTY layer buffering revampAlan Cox
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out. This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the kernel cycles between them as before. When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means that we can operate at higher speeds reliably. For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud). Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow. The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is read. We thus make it a variable not a function call. I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes. Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real. That means a lot of the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any more. Description: tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification]. It does now also return the number of chars inserted There are also tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len) which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space found. This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to transfer. and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len) to insert a string of characters and flags For a smart interface the usual code is len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says); tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len); More description! At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty. This is causing a lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments) I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of dynamically allocated buffers. This allows both for old style "byte I/O" devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of data suddenely materialise and need storing. So far so good. Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*. Several of them also call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides. This will all break. Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API but others need more. At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will be needed now is a good time to say int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size) Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be zero). At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change. Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative. (ie if you call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space. The other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a more efficient way when you know block sizes. int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag) As before insert a character if there is room. Now returns 1 for success, 0 for failure. int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len) Insert a block of non error characters. Returns the number inserted. int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len) Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added. Returns a buffer pointer in strptr and the length available. This allows for hardware that needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB: Export IEEE-1284 device id in sysfs for usblp devicesDavid Woodhouse
I looked at the userspace code which uses the LPIOC_GET_DEVICE_ID ioctl and I almost went blind. Let's export it in sysfs instead, and just as a string instead of with a big-endian length at the beginning of it. This also prints the message about finding the printer _after_ we know the minor device number it's going to have, rather than reporting all printers as 'usblp0'.
