25d514ca22 USB: serial: re-implement multi-urb writes in generic driver
Use dynamic transfer buffer sizes since it is more efficient to let the
host controller do the partitioning to fit endpoint size. This way we
also do not use more than one urb per write request.

Replace max_in_flight_urbs with multi_urb_write flag in struct
usb_serial_driver to enable multi-urb writes.

Use MAX_TX_URBS=40 and a max buffer size of PAGE_SIZE to prevent DoS
attacks.

2315432064 USB: serial: generalise generic read implementation
Add process_read_urb to usb_serial_driver so that a driver can rely on
the generic read (and throttle) mechanism but still do device specific
processing of incoming data (such as adding tty_flags before pushing to
line discipline).

The default generic implementation handles sysrq for consoles but
otherwise simply pushes to tty.

bbcb2b9074 USB: serial: allow drivers to define bulk buffer sizes
Allow drivers to define custom bulk in/out buffer sizes in struct
usb_serial_driver. If not set, fall back to the default buffer size
which matches the endpoint size.

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.

a4720c650b USB: serial: don't call release without attach
This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core.
If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a
serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach
method.  This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an
invalid memory access.

The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has
been called.

8e8dce0650 USB: use kfifo to buffer usb-generic serial writes
When do_output_char() attempts to write a carriage return/line feed sequence,
it first checks to see how much buffer room is available. If there are at least
two characters free, it will write the carriage return/line feed with two calls
to tty_put_char(). It calls the tty_operation functions write() for devices that
don't support the tty_operations function put_char(). If the USB generic serial
device's write URB is not in use, it will return the buffer size when asked how
much room is available. The write() of the carriage return will cause it to mark
the write URB busy, so the subsequent write() of the line feed will be ignored.

This patch uses the kfifo infrastructure to implement a write FIFO that
accurately returns the amount of space available in the buffer.

f9c99bb8b3 USB: usb-serial: replace shutdown with disconnect, release
This patch (as1254) splits up the shutdown method of usb_serial_driver
into a disconnect and a release method.

The problem is that the usb-serial core was calling shutdown during
disconnect handling, but drivers didn't expect it to be called until
after all the open file references had been closed.  The result was an
oops when the close method tried to use memory that had been
deallocated by shutdown.

98fcb5f781 USB: serial: usb_debug,usb_generic_serial: implement sysrq and serial break
The usb_debug driver was modified to implement serial break handling
by using a "magic" data packet comprised of the sequence:

       0x00 0xff 0x01 0xfe   0x00 0xfe 0x01 0xff

When the tty layer requests a serial break the usb_debug driver sends
the magic packet.  On the receiving side the magic packet is thrown
away or a sysrq is activated depending on what kernel .config options
have been set.

The generic serial driver was modified as well as the usb serial
headers to generically implement sysrq processing in the same way the
non usb uart based drivers implement the sysrq handling.  This will
allow other usb serial devices to implement sysrq handling as desired.

The new usb serial functions are named similarly and implemented
similarly to the uart functions as follows:

usb_serial_handle_break <-> uart_handle_break
usb_serial_handle_sysrq_char <-> uart_handle_sysrq_char

715b1dc01f USB: usb_debug, usb_generic_serial: implement multi urb write
The usb_debug driver, when used as the console, will always fail to
insert the carriage return and new line sequence as well as randomly
drop console output.  This is a result of only having the single
write_urb and that the tty layer will have a lock that prevents the
processing of the back to back urb requests.

The solution is to allow more than one urb to be outstanding and have
a slightly deeper transmit queue.  The idea and some code is borrowed
from the ftdi_sio usb driver.

The generic usb serial driver was modified so as to allow the classic
method of 1 write urb, or a multi write urb scheme with N allowed
outstanding urbs where N is controlled by max_in_flight_urbs.  When
max_in_flight_urbs in a "struct usb_serial_driver" is non zero the
multi write urb scheme will be used.

The size of 4000 was selected for the usb_debug driver so that the
driver lowers possibility of losing the queued console messages during
the kernel startup.

95da310e66 usb_serial: API all change
USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.

So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.

Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction

9a6b1efa6f USB: usb_serial: clean tty reference in the last close
When a usb serial adapter is used as console, the usb serial console
driver bumps the open_count on the port struct used but doesn't attach
a real tty to it (only a fake one temporaly). If this port is opened later
using the regular character device interface, the open method won't
initialize the port, which is the expected, and will receive a brand new
tty struct created by tty layer, which will be stored in port->tty.

When the last close is issued, open_count won't be 0 because of the
console usage and the port->tty will still contain the old tty value. This
is the last ttyUSB<n> close so the allocated tty will be freed by the
tty layer. The usb_serial and usb_serial_port are still in use by the
console, so port_free() won't be called (serial_close() ->
usb_serial_put() -> destroy_serial() -> port_free()), so the scheduled
work (port->work, usb_serial_port_work()) will still run. And
usb_serial_port_work() does:
(...)
        tty = port->tty;
        if (!tty)
                return;

        tty_wakeup(tty);
which causes (manually copied):

253ca92328 USB: add flow control to usb-serial generic driver.
I added two fields to struct usb_serial_port to keep track of the
throttle state. Other usb-serial drivers typically use private data for
such things, but the generic driver can not really do that because some
of its code is also used by other drivers (which may have their own
private data needs).

As it is, I am not sure that this patch is useful in all scenarios.
It is certainly helpful for low-bandwidth devices that can hold their
data in response to throttling. But for devices that pump data in
real-time as fast as possible (webcam, A/D converter, etc), throttling
may actually cause more data loss.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

a969888ce9 [PATCH] USB: move usb-serial.h to include/linux/usb/
USB serial outside of the kernel tree can not build properly due to
usb-serial.h being buried down in the source tree.  This patch moves the
location of the file to include/linux/usb and fixes up all of the usb
serial drivers to handle the move properly.
