* USB: serial: use port endpoint size to determine if ep is availableJohan Hovold2010-03-191-11/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible to have a multi-port device with a port lacking an in or out bulk endpoint. Only checking for num_bulk_in or num_bulk_out is thus not sufficient to determine whether a specific port has an in or out bulk endpoint. This fixes potential null pointer dereferences in the generic open and write routines, as well as access to uninitialised fifo in write_room and chars_in_buffer. Also let write fail with ENODEV (instead of 0) on missing out endpoint (also on zero-length writes). Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* USB: remove references to port->port.count from the serial driversAlan Stern2010-03-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1344) removes references to port->port.count from the USB serial drivers. Now that serial ports are properly reference counted, port.count checking is unnecessary and incorrect. Drivers should assume that the port is in use from the time the open method runs until the close method is called.

* USB: use kfifo to buffer usb-generic serial writesDavid VomLehn2009-09-231-81/+125
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When do_output_char() attempts to write a carriage return/line feed sequence, it first checks to see how much buffer room is available. If there are at least two characters free, it will write the carriage return/line feed with two calls to tty_put_char(). It calls the tty_operation functions write() for devices that don't support the tty_operations function put_char(). If the USB generic serial device's write URB is not in use, it will return the buffer size when asked how much room is available. The write() of the carriage return will cause it to mark the write URB busy, so the subsequent write() of the line feed will be ignored. This patch uses the kfifo infrastructure to implement a write FIFO that accurately returns the amount of space available in the buffer.

The problem is that the usb-serial core was calling shutdown during disconnect handling, but drivers didn't expect it to be called until after all the open file references had been closed.

* USB: usb_serial: only allow sysrq on a console portJason Wessel2009-06-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only time a sysrq should get processed is if the attached device is a console. This is intended to protect sysrq execution on a host connected with a terminal program. Here is the problem scenario: host A <-- rs232 link --> host B Host A is using mincom and a usb pl2303 device to connect to host b which is a linux system with a usb pl2303 device acting as the serial console. When host B is rebooted the pl2303 emits random junk characters on reset. These character sequences contain serial break signals most of the time and when translated to a sysrq have caused host A to get random processes killed, reboots or power down. It is true that in this setup with this patch host B might still have the same problem as host A if you reboot host A. In most cases host A is a development host which seldom gets rebooted, and you could turn off sysrq temporarily on host B if you need to reboot host A.

* USB: serial: usb_debug,usb_generic_serial: implement sysrq and serial breakJason Wessel2009-06-151-12/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The usb_debug driver was modified to implement serial break handling by using a "magic" data packet comprised of the sequence: 0x00 0xff 0x01 0xfe 0x00 0xfe 0x01 0xff When the tty layer requests a serial break the usb_debug driver sends the magic packet. On the receiving side the magic packet is thrown away or a sysrq is activated depending on what kernel .config options have been set. The generic serial driver was modified as well as the usb serial headers to generically implement sysrq processing in the same way the non usb uart based drivers implement the sysrq handling. This will allow other usb serial devices to implement sysrq handling as desired. The new usb serial functions are named similarly and implemented similarly to the uart functions as follows: usb_serial_handle_break <-> uart_handle_break usb_serial_handle_sysrq_char <-> uart_handle_sysrq_char Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* USB: usb_debug, usb_generic_serial: implement multi urb writeJason Wessel2009-06-151-7/+114
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The usb_debug driver, when used as the console, will always fail to insert the carriage return and new line sequence as well as randomly drop console output. This is a result of only having the single write_urb and that the tty layer will have a lock that prevents the processing of the back to back urb requests. The solution is to allow more than one urb to be outstanding and have a slightly deeper transmit queue. The idea and some code is borrowed from the ftdi_sio usb driver. The generic usb serial driver was modified so as to allow the classic method of 1 write urb, or a multi write urb scheme with N allowed outstanding urbs where N is controlled by max_in_flight_urbs. When max_in_flight_urbs in a "struct usb_serial_driver" is non zero the multi write urb scheme will be used. The size of 4000 was selected for the usb_debug driver so that the driver lowers possibility of losing the queued console messages during the kernel startup.

* usb_serial: API all changeAlan Cox2008-07-221-16/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or may not still be attached to. So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Claim the interface for a USB to serial converter when the tty is open, and release the interface when the tty is closed. If a driver doesn't provide a resume function, use the generic resume instead. Make sure the generic resume function does not submit the URBs if we're coming back from autosuspend. On autoresume, we know that the open function will be called next, which will attempt to submit the URBs. If we submit them in the resume function, the open will fail. This works for: - autosuspend - suspending with the tty open or closed - hibernate with the tty closed A hibernate (or a suspend that causes the USB subsystem to lose power) has issues. If you have the tty open when you hibernate, a new tty will be created when the device re-enumerates during resume.

* USB: add flow control to usb-serial generic driver.Joris van Rantwijk2007-02-161-18/+84
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I added two fields to struct usb_serial_port to keep track of the throttle state. Other usb-serial drivers typically use private data for such things, but the generic driver can not really do that because some of its code is also used by other drivers (which may have their own private data needs). As it is, I am not sure that this patch is useful in all scenarios. It is certainly helpful for low-bandwidth devices that can hold their data in response to throttling. But for devices that pump data in real-time as fast as possible (webcam, A/D converter, etc), throttling may actually cause more data loss.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

* [PATCH] USB: move usb-serial.h to include/linux/usb/Greg Kroah-Hartman2006-07-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | USB serial outside of the kernel tree can not build properly due to usb-serial.h being buried down in the source tree. This patch moves the location of the file to include/linux/usb and fixes up all of the usb serial drivers to handle the move properly.

| | | | | | | | | | | Anydata is using usb_serial_generic_write_bulk_callback() for its read URB, but it should use usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback() instead (it's a read URB, isn't it?).

* [PATCH] TTY layer buffering revampAlan Cox2006-01-101-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
