be69e5b190 [PATCH] usbcore: Improve endpoint sysfs file handling
This revised patch (as587b) improves the implementation of USB endpoint
sysfs files.  Instead of storing a whole bunch of attributes for every
single endpoint, each endpoint now gets its own kobject and they can
share a static list of attributes.  The number of extra fields added to
struct usb_host_endpoint has been reduced from 4 to 1.

The bEndpointAddress field is retained even though it is redundant (it
repeats the same information as the attributes' directory name).  The
code avoids calling kobject_register, to prevent generating unwanted
hotplug events.

c36fc889b5 [PATCH] usb: Patch for USBDEVFS_IOCTL from 32-bit programs
Dell supplied me with the following test:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<errno.h>
#include<sys/ioctl.h>
#include<fcntl.h>
#include<linux/usbdevice_fs.h>

main(int argc,char*argv[])
{
   struct usbdevfs_hub_portinfo hubPortInfo = {0};
   struct usbdevfs_ioctl command = {0};
   command.ifno = 0;
   command.ioctl_code = USBDEVFS_HUB_PORTINFO;
   command.data = (void*)&hubPortInfo;
   int fd, ret;
   if(argc != 2) {
     fprintf(stderr,"Usage: %s /proc/bus/usb/<BusNo>/<HubID>\n",argv[0]);
     fprintf(stderr,"Example: %s /proc/bus/usb/001/001\n",argv[0]);
     exit(1);
   }
   errno = 0;
   fd = open(argv[1],O_RDWR);
   if(fd < 0) {
     perror("open failed:");
     exit(errno);
   }
   errno = 0;
   ret = ioctl(fd,USBDEVFS_IOCTL,&command);
   printf("IOCTL return status:%d\n",ret);
   if(ret<0) {
     perror("IOCTL failed:");
     close(fd);
     exit(3);
   } else {
       printf("IOCTL passed:Num of ports %d\n",hubPortInfo.nports);
       close(fd);
       exit(0);
   }
   return 0;
}

4e67185a7a [PATCH] add usb transceiver set_suspend() method
When a USB device is put into suspend mode, the current drawn from VBUS
has to be less than 500 uA. Some transceivers need to be put into a
special power-saving mode to accomplish this, and won't have a separate
OTG driver handling that.

This adds a suspend method to the "otg_transceiver" struct -- misnamed,
it's not only for OTG -- and calls it from the OMAP UDC driver.

e9b7bd4ee7 [PATCH] one less word in struct device
This saves a word from "struct device" ... there's a refcounting mechanism
stub that's rather ineffective (the values are never even tested!), which
can safely be deleted.  With this patch it uses normal device refcounting,
so any potential users of the pm_parent mechanism will be more correct.
(That mechanism is actually unusable for now though; it does nothing.)

390a8c345e [PATCH] remove usb_suspend_device() parameter
This patch removes the extra usb_suspend_device() parameter.  The original
reason to pass that parameter was so that this routine could suspend any
active children.  A previous patch removed that functionality ... leaving
no reason to pass the parameter.  A close analogy is pci_set_power_state,
which doesn't need a pm_message_t either.

On the internal code path that comes through the driver model, the parameter
is now used to distinguish cases where USB devices need to "freeze" but not
suspend.   It also checks for an error case that's accessible through sysfs:
attempting to suspend a device before its interfaces (or for hubs, ports).

e04b0ea2e0 [PATCH] PCI: Block config access during BIST
Some PCI adapters (eg.  ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they
issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card.  If, during the time it takes to
complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus
bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on
the PCI bus for a brief period of time when running BIST.  On PPC64 hardware,
this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device
from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is
rebooted.  This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some
blocking code in the PCI code.  When blocked, writes will be humored and reads
will return the cached value.  Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he
plans to use this in PPC power management.

421ef47be2 [PATCH] i2c: SMBus PEC support rewrite, 2 of 3
This is my rewrite of the SMBus PEC support. The original
implementation was known to have bugs (credits go to Hideki Iwamoto
for reporting many of them recently), and was incomplete due to a
conceptual limitation.

The rewrite affects only software PEC. Hardware PEC needs very little
code and is mostly untouched.

Technically, both implementations differ in that the original one
was emulating PEC in software by modifying the contents of an
i2c_smbus_data union (changing the transaction to a different type),
while the new one works one level lower, on i2c_msg structures (working
on message contents). Due to the definition of the i2c_smbus_data union,
not all SMBus transactions could be handled (at least not without
changing the definition of this union, which would break user-space
compatibility), and those which could had to be implemented
individually. At the opposite, adding PEC to an i2c_msg structure
can be done on any SMBus transaction with common code.

Advantages of the new implementation:

* It's about twice as small (from ~136 lines before to ~70 now, only
  counting i2c-core, including blank and comment lines). The memory
  used by i2c-core is down by ~640 bytes (~3.5%).

* Easier to validate, less tricky code. The code being common to all
  transactions by design, the risk that a bug can stay uncovered is
  lower.

* All SMBus transactions have PEC support in I2C emulation mode
  (providing the non-PEC transaction is also implemented). Transactions
  which have no emulation code right now will get PEC support for free
  when they finally get implemented.

* Allows for code simplifications in header files and bus drivers
  (patch follows).

Drawbacks (I guess there had to be at least one):

* PEC emulation for non-PEC capable non-I2C SMBus masters was dropped.
  It was based on SMBus tricks and doesn't quite fit in the new design.
  I don't think it's really a problem, as the benefit was certainly
  not worth the additional complexity, but it's only fair that I at
  least mention it.

Lastly, let's note that the new implementation does slightly affect
compatibility (both in kernel and user-space), but doesn't actually
break it. Some defines will be dropped, but the code can always be
changed in a way that will work with both the old and the new
implementations. It shouldn't be a problem as there doesn't seem to be
many users of SMBus PEC to date anyway.

I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_MAX has always been defined to the same value as
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX, and this will never change: setting it to a lower
value would make no sense, setting it to a higher value would break
i2c_smbus_data compatibility. There is no point in changing
i2c_smbus_data to support larger block transactions in SMBus mode, as
no SMBus hardware supports more than 32 byte blocks. Thus, for larger
transactions, direct I2C transfers are the way to go.

332bf92b33 [PATCH] i2c: Fix union i2c_smbus_data definition
The i2c_smbus_data union block member has a comment stating that an
extra byte is required for SMBus Block Process Call transactions. This
has been true for three weeks around June 2002, but no more since, so
it is about time that we drop this comment and fix the definition.

e89e9cf539 [IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approach
Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.

1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO

This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.

UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets

1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG

NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.

2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for

"skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size"

skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.

skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.

For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.
