2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: negative index in drivers/usb/host/isp116x-hcd.cEric Sesterhenn
From: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de> This fixes coverity Bug #390. With the following code ret = ep->branch = balance(isp116x, ep->period, ep->load); if (ret < 0) goto fail; the problem is that ret and balance are of the type int, and ep->branch is u16. so the int balance() returns gets reduced to u16 and then converted to an int again, which removes the sign. Maybe the following little c program can explain it better:

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: print message when device is rejected due to insufficient powerDaniel Drake
2.6.16 introduces USB power budgeting in the Linux kernel, and since then, a fair number of users have observed that some of their devices no longer work in unpowered hubs (this is not a bug, the devices claim that they need more than 100mA). The very least we can do is print an informational message to the kernel log when this happens, otherwise it is not at all clear why the device was not accepted.

2006-06-21[PATCH] improved TT scheduling for EHCIDan Streetman
This updates the EHCI driver by adding an improved scheduler for the transaction translators, found in USB 2.0 hubs and used for low and full speed devices. - adds periodic_tt_usecs() and some helper functions, which does the same thing that "periodic_usecs" does, except on the other side of the TT, i.e. it calculates the low/fullspeed bandwidth usage instead of highspeed. - adds a tt_available() function which is the new implementation of what tt_no_collision() does ... while tt_no_collision() ensures that each TT handles only 1 periodic transfer at a time (a very pessimistic approach) this version instead tracks bandwidth and allows each TT to handle as many transfers as will fit on each TT's downstream bus (closer to best-case). The new scheduler is selected by a config option, marked as EXPERIMENTAL so it can be tested (and more broadly reviewed) for a while until it seems safe to remove the original scheduler.

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: remove ISO TDs as they are usedAlan Stern
This patch (as690) does the same thing for ISO TDs as as680 did for non-ISO TDs: free them as they are used rather than all at once when an URB is complete. At the same time it fixes a minor buglet (I'm not aware of it ever affecting anyone): An ISO TD should be retired when its frame is over, regardless of whether or not the hardware has marked it inactive.

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: store the period in the queue headerAlan Stern
This patch (as689) stores the period for periodic transfers (interrupt and ISO) in the queue header. This is necessary for proper bandwidth tracking (not yet implemented).

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: fix race in ISO dequeuingAlan Stern
This patch (as688) fixes a small race in uhci-hcd. Because ISO queues aren't controlled by queue headers, they can't be unlinked. Only individual URBs can. So whenever multiple ISO URBs are dequeued, it's necessary to make sure the hardware is done with each one. We can't assume that dequeuing the first URB will suffice to unlink the entire queue.

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: use integer-sized frame numbersAlan Stern
This patch (as687) changes uhci-hcd to keep track of frame numbers as full-sized integers rather than 11-bit values.

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: Allow high-bandwidth isochronous packets via usbfsMicah Dowty

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: Remove 4088-byte limit on usbfs control URBsMicah Dowty
This patch removes the artificial 4088-byte limit that usbfs currently places on Control transfers. The USB spec does not specify a strict limit on the size of an entire control transfer. It does, however, state that the data stage "follows the same protocol rules as bulk transfers." (USB 2, 8.5.3) The level of support for large control transfers in real host controllers varies, but it's important to support at least 4K transfers. Windows enforces a maximum control transfer size of 4K, so there exists some hardware that requires a full 4096 byte data stage. Without this patch, we fall short of that by 8 bytes on architectures with a 4K page size, and it becomes impossible to support such hardware with a user-space driver. Since any limit placed on control transfers by usbfs would be arbitrary, this patch replaces the PAGE_SIZE limit with the same arbitrary limit used by bulk transfers.

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: Reimplement FSBRAlan Stern
This patch (as683) re-implements Full-Speed Bandwidth Reclamation (FSBR) properly. It keeps track of which endpoint queues have advanced, and when none have advanced for a sufficiently long time, FSBR is turned off. The next TD on each of the non-moving queues is modified to generate an interrupt on completion, so that FSBR can be re-enabled as soon as the hardware starts to make some progress.

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: Eliminate the TD-removal listAlan Stern

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: Remove non-iso TDs as they are usedAlan Stern
This patch (as680) frees non-isochronous TDs as they are used, rather than all at once when an URB is complete. Although not a terribly important change in itself, it opens the door to a later enhancement that will reduce storage requirements by allocating only a limited number of TDs at any time for each endpoint queue.

2006-06-21[PATCH] UHCI: Common result routine for Control/Bulk/InterruptAlan Stern
This patch (as679) combines the result routine for Control URBs with the routine for Bulk/Interrupt URBs.

2006-06-21[PATCH] usbhid: automatically set HID_QUIRK_NOGET for keyboards and miceAlan Stern
It seems to be relatively common for USB keyboards and mice to dislike being polled for reports. Since there's no need to poll a keyboard or a mouse, this patch (as685) automatically sets the HID_QUIRK_NOGET flag for devices that advertise themselves as either sort of device with boot protocol support. This won't cure all the problems since some devices don't support the boot protocol, but it's simple and easy and it should fix quite a few problems.

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB HID/HIDBP, INPUT DRIVERS: fix various usb/input/hid-input.c bugs ↵Bart Massey
that make Apple Mighty Mouse work poorly Transposed lines of code in drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c causes the capability bits for a new HID device to be set before quirks are applied at configuration time. When an HID event is then sent up to the input layer, it may then be discarded as irrelevant because the wrong capability bit is set. Further, the quirks for the Apple Mighty Mouse are not quite right: the horizontal scrolling needs its axis reversed, and the left and center buttons are transposed. Also, the mouse is labeled in the kernel with its earlier name (I think) of Apple PowerMouse. Steps to reproduce problem: Plug in an Apple Mighty Mouse. Note that horizontal scrolling doesn't work at all, and in fact doesn't generate any input events on /dev/input/eventN. Note also that pushing the middle button performs the right button action, and vice versa. Once you have the horizontal scrolling working, note that it is backward WRT both to vertical scrolling and to common sense. This patch maybe should be broken up, as it does address two problems. The transposed code in hidinput_configure_usage() probably creates bugs beyond just the Mighty Mouse. The rest of the patch renames POWERMOUSE to MIGHTYMOUSE everywhere (which I *believe* is correct), fixes the MIGHTYMOUSE quirk to swap the center and right mouse buttons, and adds a new quirk HID_QUIRK_INVERT_HWHEEL also assigned to the MIGHTYMOUSE with code in hidinput_hid_event() to implement it.

After some further testing with my flash device I realised that our current probe doesn't always work (e.g. when no media is inserted). Now that Peter Chubb's patch has simplified the detection of 99% of the HP CD writers out there, we have a much smaller range of hardware to work with on the shared device ID, so it should be possible to try some of the previous probe options again: we just need to find another tester with a USBAT2-based HP CD writer. This patch hardcodes the flash detection until someone comes along with one of these obscure CD drives. Note that these devices are extremely rare, so even if we can't ever find a decent probe method, at least we will be supporting almost all of the USBAT-based hardware out there.
