Hans de Goede 6ec4147e7b usb-anchor: Delay usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout wake up till completion is done
usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout() should wait till the completion handler
has run. Both the zd1211rw driver and the uas driver (in its task mgmt) depend
on the completion handler having completed when usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout()
returns, as they read state set by the completion handler after an
usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout() call.

But __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() calls usb_unanchor_urb before calling the
completion handler. This is necessary as the completion handler may
re-submit and re-anchor the urb. But this introduces a race where the state
these drivers want to read has not been set yet by the completion handler
(this race is easily triggered with the uas task mgmt code).

I've considered adding an anchor_count to struct urb, which would be
incremented on anchor and decremented on unanchor, and then only actually
do the anchor / unanchor on 0 -> 1 and 1 -> 0 transtions, combined with
moving the unanchor call in hcd_giveback_urb to after calling the completion
handler. But this will only work if urb's are only re-anchored to the same
anchor as they were anchored to before the completion handler ran.

And at least one driver re-anchors to another anchor from the completion
handler (rtlwifi).

So I have come up with this patch instead, which adds the ability to
suspend wakeups of usb_wait_anchor_empty_timeout() waiters to the usb_anchor
functionality, and uses this in __usb_hcd_giveback_urb() to delay wake-ups
until the completion handler has run.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
