For certain (HP) printers the printer device_id does not only contain a
static part identifying the printer, but it also contains a dynamic part
giving printer status, ink level, etc.
To get to this info various userspace utilities need to be able to make a
printer class 'get_device_id' request without first claiming the interface
(as that is in use for the actual printer driver).
Since the printer class 'get_device_id' request does not change interface
settings in anyway, allowing this without claiming the interface should not
cause any issues.

When usbfs receives a ctrl-request from userspace it calls check_ctrlrecip,
which for a request with USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT tries to map this to an interface
to see if this interface is claimed, except for ctrl-requests with a type of
USB_TYPE_VENDOR.
When trying to use this device: http://www.akaipro.com/eiepro
redirected to a Windows vm running on qemu on top of Linux.
The windows driver makes a ctrl-req with USB_TYPE_CLASS and
USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT with index 0, and the mapping of the endpoint (0) to
the interface fails since ep 0 is the ctrl endpoint and thus never is
part of an interface.
This patch fixes this ctrl-req failing by skipping the checkintf call for
USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT ctrl-reqs on the ctrl endpoint.

Apps which deal with devices which also have a kernel driver, need to do
the following:
1) Check which driver is attached, so as to not detach the wrong driver
(ie detaching usbfs while another instance of the app is using the device)
2) Detach the kernel driver
3) Claim the interface
Where moving from one step to the next for both 1-2 and 2-3 consists of
a (small) race window. So currently such apps are racy and people just live
with it.
This patch adds a new ioctl which makes it possible for apps to do this
in a race free manner. For flexibility apps can choose to:
1) Specify the driver to disconnect
2) Specify to disconnect any driver except for the one named by the app
3) Disconnect any driver
Note that if there is no driver attached, the ioctl will just act like the
regular claim-interface ioctl, this is by design, as returning an error for
this condition would open a new bag of race-conditions.

When using urb->transfer_buffer we need to allocate physical contiguous buffers
for the entire transfer, which is pretty much guaranteed to fail with large
transfers.
Currently userspace works around this by breaking large transfers into multiple
urbs. For large bulk transfers this leads to all kind of complications.
This patch makes it possible for userspace to reliable submit large bulk
transfers to scatter-gather capable host controllers in one go, by using a
scatterlist to break the transfer up in managable chunks.

There are a few (new) usbdevfs capabilities which an application cannot
discover in any other way then checking the kernel version. There are 3
problems with this:
1) It is just not very pretty.
2) Given the tendency of enterprise distros to backport stuff it is not
reliable.
3) As discussed in length on the mailinglist, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION
does not work as it should when combined with USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK
(which is its intended use) on devices attached to an XHCI controller.
So the availability of these features can be host controller dependent,
making depending on them based on the kernel version not a good idea.
This patch besides adding the new ioctl also adds flags for the following
existing capabilities:
USBDEVFS_CAP_ZERO_PACKET, available since 2.6.31
USBDEVFS_CAP_BULK_CONTINUATION, available since 2.6.32, except for XHCI
USBDEVFS_CAP_NO_PACKET_SIZE_LIM, available since 3.3
Note that this patch only does not advertise the USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION
cap for XHCI controllers, bulk transfers with this flag set will still be
accepted when submitted to XHCI controllers.
Returning -EINVAL for them would break existing apps, and in most cases the
troublesome scenario wrt USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK urbs on XHCI controllers
will never get hit, so this would break working use cases.
The disadvantage of not returning -EINVAL is that cases were it is causing
real trouble may go undetected / the cause of the trouble may be unclear,
but this is the best we can do.

This patch (as1498) creates a writable module parameter for usbcore to
control the global limit. The default is still 16 MB, but users can
change it at runtime, even after usbcore has been loaded. As a

For a long time people have complained about the limitations imposed
by usbfs. URBs coming from userspace are not allowed to have transfer
buffers larger than a more-or-less arbitrary maximum.
While it is generally a good idea to avoid large transfer buffers
(because the data has to be bounced to/from a contiguous kernel-space
buffer), it's not the kernel's job to enforce such limits. Programs
should be allowed to submit URBs as large as they like; if there isn't
sufficient contiguous memory available then the submission will fail
with a simple ENOMEM error.
On the other hand, we would like to prevent programs from submitting a
lot of small URBs and using up all the DMA-able kernel memory. To
that end, this patch (as1497) replaces the old limits on individual
transfer buffers with a single global limit on the total amount of
memory in use by usbfs. The global limit is set to 16 MB as a nice
compromise value: not too big, but large enough to hold about 300 ms
of data for high-speed transfers.

This patch (as1323) changes the locking requirements for

mainly it's meant to make the locking more uniform.
The most tricky part of the patch involves changes to usbdev_open().
To avoid an ABBA locking problem, it was necessary to reduce the
region protected by usbfs_mutex. Since that mutex now protects only
against simultaneous open and remove, this posed no difficulty -- its
scope was larger than necessary.
And it turns out that usbfs_mutex is no longer needed in
usbdev_release() at all. The list of usbfs "ps" structures is now

I think that the calling convention is fundamentally buggered. The

Freeing it in the caller also means that it very clearly always gets

This patch (as1283) adds a new flag, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION,
to usbfs. It is intended for userspace libraries such as libusb and
openusb. When they have to break up a single usbfs bulk transfer into
multiple URBs, they will set the flag on all but the first URB of the
series.
If an error other than an unlink occurs, the kernel will automatically
cancel all the following URBs for the same endpoint and refuse to
accept new submissions, until an URB is encountered that is not marked
as a BULK_CONTINUATION. Such an URB would indicate the start of a new
transfer or the presence of an older library, so the kernel returns to
normal operation.
This enables libraries to delimit bulk transfers correctly, even in
the presence of early termination as indicated by short packets.

This patch (as1261) reduces the amount of detailed URB information
logged by usbfs when the usbfs_snoop parameter is enabled.
Currently we don't display the final status value for a completed URB.
But we do display the entire data buffer twice: both before submission
and after completion. The after-completion display doesn't limit
itself to the actual_length value. But since usbmon is readily
available in virtually all distributions, there's no reason for usbfs
to print out any buffer contents at all!
So this patch restricts the information to: userspace buffer pointer,
endpoint number, type, and direction, length or actual_length, and
timeout value or status. Now everything fits neatly into a single
line.
Along with those changes, the patch also fixes the snoop output for
the REAPURBNDELAY and REAPURBNDELAY32 ioctls. The current version
omits the 'N' from the names.

This patch (as1258) implements a feature that users have been asking
for: It gives programs the ability to "claim" a port on a hub, via a
new usbfs ioctl. A device plugged into a "claimed" port will not be
touched by the kernel beyond the immediate necessities of
initialization and enumeration.
In particular, when a device is plugged into a "claimed" port, the
kernel will not select and install a configuration. And when a config
is installed by usbfs or sysfs, the kernel will not probe any drivers
for any of the interfaces. (However the kernel will fetch various
string descriptors during enumeration. One could argue that this
isn't really necessary, but the strings are exported in sysfs.)
The patch does not guarantee exclusive access to these devices; it is
still possible for more than one program to open the device file
concurrently. Programs are responsible for coordinating access among
themselves.
A demonstration program showing how to use the new interface can be
found in an attachment to
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=124345857431452&w=2
