Milan Svoboda a94da8971e USB gadget: gadgetfs dont try to lock before free
I spotted this during my tests with -rt on arm. The -rt patch contains
some better tools
to diagnose problems with locks and some other things...

Original code tries to take semaphore in BUG_ON and then free the memory
with this semaphore.

Ben Williamson f2ebf92c9e USB: gmidi: New USB MIDI Gadget class driver.
This driver is glue between the USB gadget interface
and the ALSA MIDI interface. It allows us to appear
as a MIDI Streaming device to a host system on the
other end of a USB cable.

This includes linux/usb/audio.h and linux/usb/midi.h
containing definitions from the relevant USB specifications
for USB audio and USB MIDI devices.

The following changes have been made since the first RFC
posting:

* Bug fixes to endpoint handling.
* Workaround for USB_REQ_SET_CONFIGURATION handling,
  not understood yet.
* Added SND and SND_RAWMIDI dependencies in Kconfig.
* Moved usb_audio.h and usb_midi.h to usb/*.h
* Added module parameters for ALSA card index and id.
* Added module parameters for USB descriptor IDs and strings.
* Removed some unneeded stuff inherited from zero.c, more to go.
* Provide DECLARE_* macros for the variable-length structs.
* Use kmalloc instead of usb_ep_alloc_buffer.
* Limit source to 80 columns.
* Return actual error code instead of -ENOMEM in a few places.

This patch fixes ep_config to return correct value. Without patch
ep_config returns submitted lenght minus 4 on succes. With this
patch applied, whole submitted lenght is returned.

ep_config parses submitted data and if buffer starts with (int) 1
it is parsed, otherwise error is reported. Problem is that ep_config
returns size of buffer minus 4 on success. I think that size of buffer
should be returned instead, because there were no problems and
all data were processed.

Alan Stern 1c5df7e705 usbcore: suspending devices with no driver
Since usb_generic can be unbound from a USB device, we need to be able
to handle the possibility that a suspend or resume request arrives for a
device with no driver.  This patch (as735) arranges things so that
resume requests will fail and suspend requests will use the standard USB
port-suspend code.  Attempts to suspend or resume an unbound interface
are handled similarly (although the error caused by trying to resume an
unbound interface is dropped by the calling routine).

Alan Stern 114b368c07 usbcore: fix up device and power state tests
This patch (as734) rationalizes the various tests of device state and
power states.  There are duplications and mistaken tests in several
places.

Perhaps the most interesting challenge is where the hub driver tests to
see that all the child devices are suspended before allowing itself to
be suspended.  When CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is set the test is
straightforward, since we expect that the children _will_ be suspended.
But when CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set, it's not so clear what should be
done.  The code compromises by checking the child's
power.power_state.event field.

Alan Stern 2bf4086d7a usbcore: set device and power states properly
This patch (as733) fixes up the places where device states and power
states are set in usbcore.  Right now things are duplicated or missing;
this should straighten things out.

The idea is that udev->state is USB_STATE_SUSPENDED exactly when the
device's upstream port has been suspended, whereas
udev->dev.power.power_state.event reflects the result of the last call
to the suspend/resume routines (which might not actually change the
device state, especially if CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set).

Alan Stern 4d064c0802 usbcore: track whether interfaces are suspended
Currently we rely on intf->dev.power.power_state.event for tracking
whether intf is suspended.  This is not a reliable technique because
that value is owned by the PM core, not by usbcore.  This patch (as718b)
adds a new flag so that we can accurately tell which interfaces are
suspended and which aren't.

At first one might think these flags aren't needed, since interfaces
will be suspended along with their devices.  It turns out there are a
couple of intermediate situations where that's not quite true, such as
while processing a remote-wakeup request.

Alan Stern a8e7c56535 usbcore: resume device resume recursion
This patch (as717b) removes the existing recursion in hub resume code:
Resuming a hub will no longer automatically resume the devices attached
to the hub.

At the same time, it adds one level of recursion: Suspending a USB
device will automatically suspend all the device's interfaces.  Failure
at an intermediate stage will cause all the already-suspended interfaces
to be resumed. Attempts to suspend or resume an interface by itself will
do nothing, although they won't return an error.  Thus the regular
system-suspend and system-resume procedures should continue to work as
before; only runtime PM will be affected.

The patch also removes the code that tests state of the interfaces
before suspending a device.  It's no longer needed, since everything
gets suspended together.

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe.  To
accomplish this, the existing struct driver embedded in struct
usb_driver had to be wrapped in an intermediate wrapper.  This enables
the core to tell at runtime whether a particular struct driver belongs
to a device driver or to an interface driver.

Alan Stern 4a2a8a2cce usbfs: private mutex for open, release, and remove
The usbfs code doesn't provide sufficient mutual exclusion among open,
release, and remove.  Release vs. remove is okay because they both
acquire the device lock, but open is not exclusive with either one.  All
three routines modify the udev->filelist linked list, so they must not
run concurrently.

Apparently someone gave this a minimum amount of thought in the past by
explicitly acquiring the BKL at the start of the usbdev_open routine.
Oddly enough, there's a comment pointing out that locking is unnecessary
because chrdev_open already has acquired the BKL.

But this ignores the point that the files in /proc/bus/usb/* are not
char device files; they are regular files and so they don't get any
special locking.  Furthermore it's necessary to acquire the same lock in
the release and remove routines, which the code does not do.

Yet another problem arises because the same file_operations structure is
accessible through both the /proc/bus/usb/* and /dev/usb/usbdev* file
nodes.  Even when one of them has been removed, it's still possible for
userspace to open the other.  So simple locking around the individual
remove routines is insufficient; we need to lock the entire
usb_notify_remove_device notifier chain.

Rather than rely on the BKL, this patch (as723) introduces a new private
mutex for the purpose.  Holding the BKL while invoking a notifier chain
doesn't seem like a good idea.
