USB: Allow autosuspend delay to equal 0 This patch (as867) adds an entry for the new power/autosuspend attribute in Documentation/ABI/testing, and it changes the behavior of the delay value. Now a delay of 0 means to autosuspend as soon as possible, and negative values will prevent autosuspend.

What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/autosuspend
Date: March 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.21
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
power/autosuspend. This file holds the time (in seconds)
the device must be idle before it will be autosuspended.
0 means the device will be autosuspended as soon as
possible. Negative values will prevent the device from
being autosuspended at all, and writing a negative value
will resume the device if it is already suspended.
The autosuspend delay for newly-created devices is set to
the value of the usbcore.autosuspend module parameter.
USB: add power/level sysfs attribute This patch (as874) adds another piece to the user-visible part of the USB autosuspend interface. The new power/level sysfs attribute allows users to force the device on (with autosuspend off), force the device to sleep (with autoresume off), or return to normal automatic operation.

What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/level
Date: March 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.21
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for
the device, one of "on", "auto", or "suspend".
"on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
although normal suspends for system sleep will still
be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
capabilities of its driver. "suspend" means the device
is forced into a suspended state and it will not autoresume
in response to I/O requests. However remote-wakeup requests
from the device may still be enabled (the remote-wakeup
setting is controlled separately by the power/wakeup
attribute).
During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
level. The other levels are meant for administrative uses.
If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
write "0" to power/autosuspend.
USB: add power/persist device attribute This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the USB-Persist facility. Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the power/persist device attribute. The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and its code placed inline. This is the way it was originally as part of hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared. Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of hub_reset_resume(). The end result looks much cleaner than before. The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and there are corresponding documentation updates.

What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/persist
Date: May 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.23
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
If CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is set, then each USB device directory
will contain a file named power/persist. The file holds a
boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether or not the
"USB-Persist" facility is enabled for the device. Since the
facility is inherently dangerous, it is disabled by default
for all devices except hubs. For more information, see
Documentation/usb/persist.txt.
USB: Add documentation for USB suspend statistics. This documents two newly created files: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration Documentation was placed in Documentation/ABI/testing, since that's where the documentation is for the other USB sysfs power files.

KernelVersion: 2.6.25

Description:
If CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND are enabled, then this file
is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
that the USB device has been connected to the machine. This
file is read-only.

Date: January 2008
KernelVersion: 2.6.25
Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@intel.com>
Description:
If CONFIG_PM and CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND are enabled, then this file
is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
that the USB device has been active, i.e. not in a suspended
state. This file is read-only.
Tools can use this file and the connected_duration file to
compute the percentage of time that a device has been active.
For example,
echo $((100 * `cat active_duration` / `cat connected_duration`))
will give an integer percentage. Note that this does not
account for counter wrap.
