fdf290fd6d [PATCH] UEAGLE : cmv name bug (was cosmetic)
this patch correct a possible bug with cmv_name being static. If there
is 2 modems and the driver is scheduled when filling cmv_name this could
result with garbage in cmv_name. We allocate cmv_name on the stack but
with a small size in order to avoid that.

3c9666cc18 [PATCH] UEAGLE : add iso support
This patch adds the support for isochronous pipe.

A new module parameter is added to select iso mode.  It is set to iso by
default because bulk mode doesn't work well at high speed rate (>3 Mbps
for upload).

We use UDSL_IGNORE_EILSEQ flags because ADI firmware doesn't reply to
ISO IN when it has nothing to send [1].

[1]
from cypress datasheet :

The ISOSEND0 Bit (bit 7 in the USBPAIR Register) is used when the EZ-USB
FX chip receives an isochronous IN token while the IN FIFO is empty. If
ISOSEND0=0 (the default value), the USB core does not respond to the IN
token. If ISOSEND0=1, the USB core sends a zero-length data packet in
response to the IN token. The action to take depends on the overall
system design. The ISOSEND0 Bit applies to all of the isochronous IN
endpoints, IN-8 through IN-15.

e3fb2f641f [PATCH] USBATM: handle urbs containing partial cells
The receive logic has always assumed that urbs contain an integral
number of ATM cells, which is a bit naughty, though it never caused
any problems with bulk transfers.  Isochronous urbs spank us soundly
for this.  Fixed thanks to this patch, mostly by Stanislaw Gruszka.

80aae7a17a [PATCH] USBATM: allow isochronous transfer
While the usbatm core has had some support for using isoc urbs
for some time, there was no way for users to turn it on.  While
use of isoc transfer should still be considered experimental, it
now works well enough to let users turn it on.  Minidrivers signal
to the core that they want to use isoc transfer by setting the new
UDSL_USE_ISOC flag.  The speedtch minidriver gets a new module
parameter enable_isoc (defaults to false), plus some logic that
checks for the existence of an isoc receive endpoint (not all
speedtouch modems have one).

6f74947598 [PATCH] USBATM: measure buffer size in bytes; force valid sizes
Change the module parameters rcv_buf_size and snd_buf_size to
specify buffer sizes in bytes rather than ATM cells.  Since
there is some danger that users may not notice this change,
the parameters are renamed to rcv_buf_bytes etc.  The transmit
buffer needs to be a multiple of the ATM cell size in length,
while the receive buffer should be a multiple of the endpoint
maxpacket size (this wasn't enforced before, which causes trouble
with isochronous transfers), so enforce these restrictions.  Now
that the usbatm probe method inspects the endpoint maxpacket size,
minidriver bind routines need to set the correct alternate setting
for the interface in their bind routine.  This is the reason for
the speedtch changes.

0e42a627ec [PATCH] USBATM: shutdown open connections when disconnected
This patch causes vcc_release_async to be applied to any open
vcc's when the modem is disconnected.  This signals a socket
shutdown, letting the socket user know that the game is up.
I wrote this patch because of reports that pppd would keep
connections open forever when the modem is disconnected.
This patch does not fix that problem, but it's a step in the
right direction.  It doesn't help because the pppoatm module
doesn't yet monitor state changes on the ATM socket, so simply
never realises that the ATM connection has gone down (meaning
it doesn't tell the ppp layer).  But at least there is a socket
state change now.  Unfortunately this patch may create problems
for those rare users like me who use routed IP or some other
non-ppp connection method that goes via the ATM ARP daemon: the
daemon is buggy, and with this patch will crash when the modem
is disconnected.  Users with a buggy atmarpd can simply restart
it after disconnecting the modem.

All it does is grab hold of a user-specified set of

	static struct usb_device_id usb_table [] = {
	    { USB_INTERFACE_INFO(USB_CLASS_HID, 0, 0) },
	    { }
	};

	So it picked up my UPS, and loaded the driver.
	Whilst no harm came, because it later checks the vendor/product IDs,
	this driver should probably be rewritten to only probe
	for the device IDs it actually knows about.

This moves the previously widely-used ehci-pci.c BIOS handoff

"early handoff" version that seems to cause problems lately.

One notable change:  the "early handoff" version always enabled
an SMI IRQ ... and did so even if the pre-Linux code said it was
not using EHCI (and not expecting EHCI SMIs).  Looks like a goof
in a workaround for some unknown BIOS version.

This merged version only forcibly enables those IRQs when pre-Linux
code says it's using EHCI.  And now it always forces them off "just
in case".

33f0f88f1c [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
The API and code have been through various bits of initial review by
serial driver people but they definitely need to live somewhere for a
while so the unconverted drivers can get knocked into shape, existing
drivers that have been updated can be better tuned and bugs whacked out.

This replaces the tty flip buffers with kmalloc objects in rings. In the
normal situation for an IRQ driven serial port at typical speeds the
behaviour is pretty much the same, two buffers end up allocated and the
kernel cycles between them as before.

When there are delays or at high speed we now behave far better as the
buffer pool can grow a bit rather than lose characters. This also means
that we can operate at higher speeds reliably.

For drivers that receive characters in blocks (DMA based, USB and
especially virtualisation) the layer allows a lot of driver specific
code that works around the tty layer with private secondary queues to be
removed. The IBM folks need this sort of layer, the smart serial port
people do, the virtualisers do (because a virtualised tty typically
operates at infinite speed rather than emulating 9600 baud).

Finally many drivers had invalid and unsafe attempts to avoid buffer
overflows by directly invoking tty methods extracted out of the innards
of work queue structs. These are no longer needed and all go away. That
fixes various random hangs with serial ports on overflow.

The other change in here is to optimise the receive_room path that is
used by some callers. It turns out that only one ldisc uses receive room
except asa constant and it updates it far far less than the value is
read. We thus make it a variable not a function call.

I expect the code to contain bugs due to the size alone but I'll be
watching and squashing them and feeding out new patches as it goes.

Because the buffers now dynamically expand you should only run out of
buffering when the kernel runs out of memory for real.  That means a lot of
the horrible hacks high performance drivers used to do just aren't needed any
more.

Description:

tty_insert_flip_char is an old API and continues to work as before, as does
tty_flip_buffer_push() [this is why many drivers dont need modification].  It
does now also return the number of chars inserted

There are also

tty_buffer_request_room(tty, len)

which asks for a buffer block of the length requested and returns the space
found.  This improves efficiency with hardware that knows how much to
transfer.

and tty_insert_flip_string_flags(tty, str, flags, len)

to insert a string of characters and flags

For a smart interface the usual code is

    len = tty_request_buffer_room(tty, amount_hardware_says);
    tty_insert_flip_string(tty, buffer_from_card, len);

More description!

At the moment tty buffers are attached directly to the tty.  This is causing a
lot of the problems related to tty layer locking, also problems at high speed
and also with bursty data (such as occurs in virtualised environments)

I'm working on ripping out the flip buffers and replacing them with a pool of
dynamically allocated buffers.  This allows both for old style "byte I/O"
devices and also helps virtualisation and smart devices where large blocks of
data suddenely materialise and need storing.

So far so good.  Lots of drivers reference tty->flip.*.  Several of them also
call directly and unsafely into function pointers it provides.  This will all
break.  Most drivers can use tty_insert_flip_char which can be kept as an API
but others need more.

At the moment I've added the following interfaces, if people think more will
be needed now is a good time to say

 int tty_buffer_request_room(tty, size)

Try and ensure at least size bytes are available, returns actual room (may be
zero).  At the moment it just uses the flipbuf space but that will change.
Repeated calls without characters being added are not cumulative.  (ie if you
call it with 1, 1, 1, and then 4 you'll have four characters of space.  The
other functions will also try and grow buffers in future but this will be a
more efficient way when you know block sizes.

 int tty_insert_flip_char(tty, ch, flag)

As before insert a character if there is room.  Now returns 1 for success, 0
for failure.

 int tty_insert_flip_string(tty, str, len)

Insert a block of non error characters.  Returns the number inserted.

 int tty_prepare_flip_string(tty, strptr, len)

Adjust the buffer to allow len characters to be added.  Returns a buffer
pointer in strptr and the length available.  This allows for hardware that
needs to use functions like insl or mencpy_fromio.

3c6bee1d40 [PATCH] turn "const static" into "static const"
ICC likes to complain about storage class not being first, GCC doesn't
care much (except for cases like "inline static").
have a hard time seeing how it could break anything.

Thanks to Gabriel A. Devenyi for pointing out
http://linuxicc.sourceforge.net/ which is what made me create this patch.
