ChangeSet@1.1572.2.1, 2005-02-17 00:45:50-02:00, zaitcev@redhat.com [PATCH] USB: mct_u232 Now that 2.6 has my changes, we can apply them to 2.4. This includes the removal of dead code under #ifdef FIX_WRITE_RETURN_CODE_PROBLEM. This patch fixes the endless loops on disconnect when resubmitting failed URBs monopolizes CPU and prevents the disconnect thread from cleaning up. Note though that because of the error code confusion, the actual technique used in 2.4 is different from 2.6. The 2.4 version simply counts errors. If too many are received in a row, we stop resubmitting. I consider this relatively safe, because closing the line clears the condition, and so in the unlikely event of a regression, users are not made to reboot. ChangeSet@1.1576, 2005-02-16 11:22:03-08:00, kaber@trash.net [NETLINK]: Unhash sockets correctly. netlink_remove() only unhashes sockets contained in the first hash bucket.

This caused a regression with European ADSL modems. An ioctl USBDEVFS_REAPURB allows a process to enter the kernel and wait for USB I/O to finish. Naturally, this should not take exclusive_access, or nothing will ever finish. This patch is essentially the patch by Sergey Vlasov with my additions a) to allow ENOTTY returned without taking a lock and b) to filter ENOIOCTLCMD, which is improper to leak to userspace. ChangeSet@1.1569, 2005-02-14 05:08:11-02:00, zaitcev@redhat.com [PATCH] USB: hid for ia64 Apparently, the HP rx5670 fails to reboot if a USB keyboard if attached without this patch (and the OHCI fix we accepted for 2.4.29). This bug is better known for its effect on Altix, but SGI ships a magic kernel anyhow, so I don't want to use that as justification. The original patch comes from Jes Sorensen, but then I corrupted his idea with my simplifications and a partial backport from 2.6, so if this fails do not e-mail him. ChangeSet@1.1568, 2005-02-14 05:07:15-02:00, zaitcev@redhat.com [PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio Granted, this is a cleanup, and we don't like cleanups in 2.4. But I really dislike how the comment managed to detach from the function it described. The idiotic error message is quite annoying, too.

From: Kenneth Sumrall <ken@mvista.com> In lp_write(), copy_from_user() is called to copy data into a statically allocated kernel buffer before down_interruptible() is called. If a second thread of execution comes in between the copy_from_user() and the down_interruptible() calls, silent data corruption could result.
