2012-06-13usb: use usb_serial_put in usb_serial_probe errorsJan Safrata
The use of kfree(serial) in error cases of usb_serial_probe was invalid - usb_serial structure allocated in create_serial() gets reference of usb_device that needs to be put, so we need to use usb_serial_put() instead of simple kfree().

2012-06-13USB: serial: Enforce USB driver and USB serial driver matchBjørn Mork
We need to make sure that the USB serial driver we find matches the USB driver whose probe we are currently executing. Otherwise we will end up with USB serial devices bound to the correct serial driver but wrong USB driver. An example of such cross-probing, where the usbserial_generic USB driver has found the sierra serial driver: May 29 18:26:15 nemi kernel: [ 4442.559246] usbserial_generic 4-4:1.0: Sierra USB modem converter detected May 29 18:26:20 nemi kernel: [ 4447.556747] usbserial_generic 4-4:1.2: Sierra USB modem converter detected May 29 18:26:25 nemi kernel: [ 4452.557288] usbserial_generic 4-4:1.3: Sierra USB modem converter detected sysfs view of the same problem: bjorn@nemi:~$ ls -l /sys/bus/usb/drivers/sierra/ total 0 --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:23 bind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:23 module -> ../../../../module/usbserial --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:23 uevent --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:23 unbind bjorn@nemi:~$ ls -l /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/sierra/ total 0 --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:23 bind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:23 module -> ../../../../module/sierra -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:23 new_id lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:32 ttyUSB0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-4/4-4:1.0/ttyUSB0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:32 ttyUSB1 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-4/4-4:1.2/ttyUSB1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:32 ttyUSB2 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-4/4-4:1.3/ttyUSB2 --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:23 uevent --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:23 unbind bjorn@nemi:~$ ls -l /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbserial_generic/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:33 4-4:1.0 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-4/4-4:1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:33 4-4:1.2 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-4/4-4:1.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:33 4-4:1.3 -> ../../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-4/4-4:1.3 --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:33 bind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:33 module -> ../../../../module/usbserial --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:22 uevent --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:33 unbind bjorn@nemi:~$ ls -l /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/ total 0 --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:33 bind lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 29 18:33 module -> ../../../../module/usbserial -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:33 new_id --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:22 uevent --w------- 1 root root 4096 May 29 18:33 unbind So we end up with a mismatch between the USB driver and the USB serial driver. The reason for the above is simple: The USB driver probe will succeed if *any* registered serial driver matches, and will use that serial driver for all serial driver functions. This makes ref counting go wrong. We count the USB driver as used, but not the USB serial driver.

This reworks the usb_serial_register_drivers() and usb_serial_deregister_drivers() to not need a pointer to a struct usb_driver anymore. The usb_driver structure is now created dynamically and registered and unregistered as needed. This saves lines of code in each usb-serial driver. All in-kernel users of these functions were also fixed up at this time. The pl2303 driver was tested that everything worked properly. Thanks for the idea to do this from Alan Stern.

2012-05-07usb-serial: ftdi_sio: fix oops during autosuspendAlan Stern
This patch (as1550) fixes a bug in the usb-serial core that affects the ftdi_sio driver and most likely others as well. The core implements suspend and resume routines, but it doesn't store pointers to those routines in the usb_driver structures that it registers, even though it does set those drivers' supports_autosuspend flag. The end result is that when one of these devices is autosuspended, we try to call through a NULL pointer. The patch fixes the problem by setting the suspend and resume method pointers to the appropriate routines in the USB serial core, along with the supports_autosuspend field, in each driver as it is registered. This should be back-ported to all the stable kernels that have the new usb_serial_register_drivers() interface.

2012-04-25USB: serial: fix interface data useJohan Hovold
The interface data should not be used as a flag to signal disconnect. Now that all serial drivers use the usb_serial disconnect flag and mutex, we can set the interface data prior to registering the ports and there's no need to clear it at disconnect. This should hopefully also make it more clear that the interface data is not a flag, which could prevent future misuse.

2012-04-10USB: serial: fix race between probe and openJohan Hovold
Fix race between probe and open by making sure that the disconnected flag is not cleared until all ports have been registered. A call to tty_open while probe is running may get a reference to the serial structure in serial_install before its ports have been registered.

2012-04-09USB: fix bug in serial driver unregistrationAlan Stern
This patch (as1536) fixes a bug in the USB serial core. Unloading and reloading a serial driver while a serial device is plugged in causes errors because of the code in usb_serial_disconnect() that tries to make sure the port_remove method is called. With the new order of driver registration introduced in the 3.4 kernel, this is definitely not the right thing to do (if indeed it ever was). The patch removes that whole section code, along with the mechanism for keeping track of each port's registration state, which is no longer needed. The driver core can handle all that stuff for us. Note: This has been tested only with one or two USB serial drivers. In theory, other drivers might still run into trouble. But if they do, it will be the fault of the drivers, not of this patch -- that is, the drivers will need to be fixed.

2012-02-24usb-serial: new API for driver registrationAlan Stern
This patch (as1522) adds two new routines to the usb-serial core, for registering and unregistering serial drivers. Instead of registering the usb_driver and usb_serial_drivers separately, with error checking for each one, the drivers can all be registered and unregistered by a single function call. This reduces duplicated code. More importantly, the new core routines change the order in which the drivers are registered. Currently the usb-serial drivers are all registered first and the usb_driver is done last, which leaves a window for problems. A udev script may quickly add a new dynamic-ID for a usb-serial driver, causing the corresponding usb_driver to be probed. If the usb_driver hasn't been registered yet then an oops will occur. The new routine prevents such problems by registering the usb_driver first. To insure that it gets probed properly for already-attached serial devices, we call driver_attach() after all the usb-serial drivers have been registered. Along with adding the new routines, the patch modifies the "generic" serial driver to use them. Further patches will similarly modify all the other in-tree USB serial drivers.

2011-02-25USB: serial drivers need to use larger bulk-in buffersAlan Stern
When a driver doesn't know how much data a device is going to send, the buffer size should be at least as big as the endpoint's maxpacket value. The serial drivers don't follow this rule; many of them request only 256-byte bulk-in buffers. As a result, they suffer overflow errors if a high-speed device wants to send a lot of data, because high-speed bulk endpoints are required to have a maxpacket size of 512. This patch (as1450) fixes the problem by using the driver's bulk_in_size value as a minimum, always allocating buffers no smaller than the endpoint's maxpacket size.

I checked all the low level drivers and they all have proper .owner = THIS_MODULE, so it's ok to always use. The other problem was the usb_serial_driver_list needing protection by a lock. This was broken anyways because unregister did not necessarily have the BKL. I extended the extending table_lock mutex to protect this case too. With these changes the BKL can be removed here.

2010-05-20USB: serial: reimplement generic fifo-based writesJohan Hovold
Reimplement fifo-based writes in the generic driver using a multiple pre-allocated urb scheme. In contrast to multi-urb writes, no allocations (of urbs or buffers) are made during run-time and there is less pressure on the host stack queues as currently only two urbs are used (implementation is generic and can handle more than two urbs as well, though). Initial tests using ftdi_sio show that the implementation achieves the same (maximum) throughput at high baudrates as multi-urb writes. The CPU usage is much lower than for multi-urb writes for small write requests and only slightly higher for large (e.g. 2k) requests (due to extra copy via fifo?). Also outperforms multi-urb writes for small write requests on an embedded arm-9 system, where multi-urb writes are CPU-bound at high baudrates (perf reveals that a lot of time is spent in the host stack enqueue function -- could perhaps be a bug as well). Keeping the original write_urb, buffer and flag for now as there are other drivers depending on them.

If src is NULL the implementation should use the port write fifo. If not set, a generic implementation is used which simply uses memcpy or kfifo_out.

Three drivers are currently freeing the pre-allocated buffers and allocating larger ones to achieve this at port probe (ftdi_sio) or even at port open (ipaq and iuu_phoenix), which needless to say is suboptimal.

2009-12-23Fix usb_serial_probe() problem introduced by the recent kfifo changesStefani Seibold
The USB serial code was a new user of the kfifo API, and it was missed when porting things to the new kfifo API. Please make the write_fifo in place. Here is my patch to fix the regression and full ported version. Signed-off-by: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Reported-and-tested-by: Rafael J.

2009-12-22kfifo: move out spinlockStefani Seibold
Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a spinlock.

2009-12-22kfifo: move struct kfifo in placeStefani Seibold
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.
