This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class
where every connected usb-device will show up:
tree /sys/class/usb_device/
/sys/class/usb_device/
|-- usb1.1
| |-- dev
| `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1
|-- usb2.1
| |-- dev
| `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2
...
The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes.
kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/
/dev/bus/usb/
|-- 1
| `-- 1
|-- 2
| `-- 1
...
udev rule:
SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c"
(echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/')
This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs:
export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb
Background:
All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of
the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr
replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device
nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like
"Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support.
New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real
nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks
up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files.
This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up:
SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c"
/sbin/usbdevice:
#!/bin/sh
echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/'

Greg,
This patch fixes the kmalloc() flags argument type in USB
subsystem; hopefully all of its occurences. The patch was
made against patch-2.6.12-git2 from Jun 20.
Cleanup of flags for kmalloc() in USB subsystem.

Great! FWIW I've briefly tested a modified version of usbatm using
the list head in struct urb instead of creating a wrapper struct, and I
haven't seen any failures yet. So I tend to believe that your "should
be" actually means "is" :)

OK then how about the following (essentially documentation) patch?

This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t". This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:
- <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change
- Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
* hid-core
* stir4200
- Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
their activities. (As should stir4200...)
* pegasus
* usbnet
Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
to me like it's missing a request to turn it on, vs just configuring it.
The ASIX code in usbnet also has WOL hooks that are ready to use; untested.

===================================================================
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
