It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the drivers/usb/ and include/linux/usb* files with the correct
SPDX license identifier based on the license text in the file itself.
The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used
instead of the full boiler plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Apps which deal with devices which also have a kernel driver, need to do
the following:
1) Check which driver is attached, so as to not detach the wrong driver
(ie detaching usbfs while another instance of the app is using the device)
2) Detach the kernel driver
3) Claim the interface
Where moving from one step to the next for both 1-2 and 2-3 consists of
a (small) race window. So currently such apps are racy and people just live
with it.
This patch adds a new ioctl which makes it possible for apps to do this
in a race free manner. For flexibility apps can choose to:
1) Specify the driver to disconnect
2) Specify to disconnect any driver except for the one named by the app
3) Disconnect any driver
Note that if there is no driver attached, the ioctl will just act like the
regular claim-interface ioctl, this is by design, as returning an error for
this condition would open a new bag of race-conditions.
Changes in v2:
-Fix indentation of if blocks where the condition spans multiple lines

When using urb->transfer_buffer we need to allocate physical contiguous buffers
for the entire transfer, which is pretty much guaranteed to fail with large
transfers.
Currently userspace works around this by breaking large transfers into multiple
urbs. For large bulk transfers this leads to all kind of complications.
This patch makes it possible for userspace to reliable submit large bulk
transfers to scatter-gather capable host controllers in one go, by using a
scatterlist to break the transfer up in managable chunks.

There are a few (new) usbdevfs capabilities which an application cannot
discover in any other way then checking the kernel version. There are 3
problems with this:
1) It is just not very pretty.
2) Given the tendency of enterprise distros to backport stuff it is not
reliable.
3) As discussed in length on the mailinglist, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION
does not work as it should when combined with USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK
(which is its intended use) on devices attached to an XHCI controller.
So the availability of these features can be host controller dependent,
making depending on them based on the kernel version not a good idea.
This patch besides adding the new ioctl also adds flags for the following
existing capabilities:
USBDEVFS_CAP_ZERO_PACKET, available since 2.6.31
USBDEVFS_CAP_BULK_CONTINUATION, available since 2.6.32, except for XHCI
USBDEVFS_CAP_NO_PACKET_SIZE_LIM, available since 3.3
Note that this patch only does not advertise the USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION
cap for XHCI controllers, bulk transfers with this flag set will still be
accepted when submitted to XHCI controllers.
Returning -EINVAL for them would break existing apps, and in most cases the
troublesome scenario wrt USBDEVFS_URB_SHORT_NOT_OK urbs on XHCI controllers
will never get hit, so this would break working use cases.
The disadvantage of not returning -EINVAL is that cases were it is causing
real trouble may go undetected / the cause of the trouble may be unclear,
but this is the best we can do.

Half the compat_ioctl handling is in devio.c, the other
half is in fs/compat_ioctl.c. This moves everything into
one place for consistency.

This patch (as1283) adds a new flag, USBDEVFS_URB_BULK_CONTINUATION,
to usbfs. It is intended for userspace libraries such as libusb and
openusb. When they have to break up a single usbfs bulk transfer into
multiple URBs, they will set the flag on all but the first URB of the
series.
If an error other than an unlink occurs, the kernel will automatically
cancel all the following URBs for the same endpoint and refuse to
accept new submissions, until an URB is encountered that is not marked
as a BULK_CONTINUATION. Such an URB would indicate the start of a new
transfer or the presence of an older library, so the kernel returns to
normal operation.
This enables libraries to delimit bulk transfers correctly, even in
the presence of early termination as indicated by short packets.

This patch (as1258) implements a feature that users have been asking
for: It gives programs the ability to "claim" a port on a hub, via a
new usbfs ioctl. A device plugged into a "claimed" port will not be
touched by the kernel beyond the immediate necessities of
initialization and enumeration.
In particular, when a device is plugged into a "claimed" port, the
kernel will not select and install a configuration. And when a config
is installed by usbfs or sysfs, the kernel will not probe any drivers
for any of the interfaces. (However the kernel will fetch various
string descriptors during enumeration. One could argue that this
isn't really necessary, but the strings are exported in sysfs.)
The patch does not guarantee exclusive access to these devices; it is
still possible for more than one program to open the device file
concurrently. Programs are responsible for coordinating access among
themselves.
A demonstration program showing how to use the new interface can be
found in an attachment to
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=124345857431452&w=2
The patch also makes a small simplification to the hub driver,
replacing a bunch of more-or-less useless variants of "out of memory"
with a single message.

This patch (as1079) cleans up the way URB_* flags are exported in
usbfs.
The URB_NO_INTERRUPT flag is now exported (this is the
only behavioral change).
USBDEVFS_URB_* macros are added for URB_NO_FSBR,
URB_ZERO_PACKET, and URB_NO_INTERRUPT, making explicit the
fact that the kernel accepts them.
The flag matching takes into account that the URB_* values
may change as the kernel evolves, whereas the USBDEVFS_URB_*
values must remain fixed since they are a user API.

This trivial documentation patch corrects a comment in usbdevice_fs.h; it

that zero indicates that no signal should be sent.

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!
