looking at usb_kill_urb() it seems to me that it is unnecessarily lenient.
In the use case of disconnect() you never want to use the URB again
(for the same device) But leaving urb->reject elevated will make it easier
to avoid races between read/write and disconnect.

Over two years ago, the Linux USB developers stated that they believed
there was no way to create a USB kernel driver that was not under the
GPL. This patch moves the USB apis to enforce that decision.
There are no known closed source USB drivers in the wild, so this patch
should cause no problems.

This patch (as989) makes usbcore flush all outstanding URBs for each
device as the device is suspended. This will be true even when
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is not enabled.
In addition, an extra can_submit flag is added to the usb_device
structure. That flag will be turned off whenever a suspend request
has been received for the device, even if the device isn't actually
suspended because CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set.
It's no longer necessary to check for the device state being equal to
USB_STATE_SUSPENDED during URB submission; that check can be replaced
by a check of the can_submit flag. This also permits us to remove
some questionable references to the deprecated power.power_state field.

This patch (as951) cleans up a few loose ends from earlier patches.
Redundant checks for non-NULL urb->dev are removed, as are checks of
urb->dev->bus (which can never be NULL). Conversely, a check for
non-NULL urb->ep is added to the unlink paths.
A homegrown round-down-to-power-of-2 loop is simplified by using the
ilog2 routine. The comparison in usb_urb_dir_in() is made more
transparent.

This patch (as947) changes the device initialization and enumeration
code in hub.c; now udev->devnum will be set to 0 while the device is
being accessed at address 0. Until now this wasn't needed because the
address value was passed as part of urb->pipe; without that field the
device address must be stored elsewhere.

This patch (as945) adds a bit to urb->transfer_flags for recording the
direction of the URB. The bit is set/cleared automatically in
usb_submit_urb() so drivers don't have to worry about it (although as
a result, it isn't valid until the URB has been submitted). Inline
routines are added for easily checking an URB's direction. They
replace calls to usb_pipein in the DMA-mapping parts of hcd.c.
For non-control endpoints, the direction is determined directly from
the endpoint descriptor. However control endpoints are
bi-directional; for them the direction is determined from the
bRequestType byte and the wLength value in the setup packet.

This patch (as943) prepares the way for eliminating urb->pipe by
introducing an endpoint pointer into struct urb. For now urb->ep
is set by usb_submit_urb() from the pipe value; eventually drivers
will set it themselves and we will remove urb->pipe completely.
The patch also adds new inline routines to retrieve an endpoint
descriptor's number and transfer type, essentially as replacements for
usb_pipeendpoint and usb_pipetype.
usb_submit_urb(), usb_hcd_submit_urb(), and usb_hcd_unlink_urb() are
converted to use the new field and new routines. Other parts of
usbcore will be converted in later patches.

USB: Add URB_FREE_BUFFER flag for freeing the transfer buffer
In some cases it is not needed that the driver keeps track of the
transfer buffer of an URB. It can be simply freed along with the
URB itself when the reference count goes down to zero. The new

All of the currently-supported USB host controller drivers use the HCD

layer, this patch (as769) removes the usb_operations structure. All
function calls now go directly to the HCD routines (slightly renamed
to remain within the "usb_" namespace).

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

In response to complaints about excessive latency in the uhci-hcd driver
I'm planning to convert it to a top-half/bottom-half design. It turns out
that to do this, the USB API has to be modified slightly since the driver
will not be able to meet one of the guarantees in the current API. This
patch changes some kerneldoc, specifying the weaker guarantee.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
