We had the limit of 255 USB to serial devices on one system for almost 15 years, with no complaints. But now it's time to move on from these tiny "baby" systems, and bump the number up to 512, which should last us a few more years: "512 is a nice number" -- Tobias Winter Note, this is still a static value, and uses up tty core memory with this many tty devices allocated. Converting the driver to use TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV is the next thing to do in order to remove this limitation.

This moves the allocation of minor device numbers from a static array to be dynamic, using the idr interface. This means that you could potentially get "gaps" in a minor number range for a single USB serial device with multiple ports, but all should still work properly. We remove the 'minor' field from the usb_serial structure, as it no longer makes any sense for it (use the field in the usb_serial_port structure if you really want to know this number), and take the fact that we were overloading a number in this field to determine if we had initialized the minor numbers or not, and just use a flag variable instead. Note, we still have the limitation of 255 USB to serial devices in the system, as that is all we are registering with the TTY layer at this point in time.

The usb_serial_port structure had the number field, which was the minor number for the port, which almost no one really cared about. They really wanted the number of the port within the device, which you had to subtract from the minor of the parent usb_serial_device structure. To clean this up, provide the real minor number of the port, and the number of the port within the serial device separately, as these numbers might not be related in the future. Bonus is that this cleans up a lot of logic in the drivers, and saves lines overall.

Add generic TIOCMIWAIT implementation which correctly handles hangup, USB-device disconnect, does not rely on the deprecated sleep_on functions and hence does not suffer from the races currently affecting several usb-serial drivers. This makes it much easier to add TIOCMIWAIT support to subdrivers as the tricky details related to hangup and disconnect (e.g. atomicity, that the private port data may have been freed when woken up, and waking up processes at disconnect) have been handled once and for all. To add support to a subdriver, simply set the tiocmiwait-port-operation field, update the port icount fields and wake up any process sleeping on the tty-port modem-status-change wait queue on changes. Note that the tty-port initialised flag can be used to detect disconnected as the port will be hung up as part of disconnect (and cannot be reactivated due to the disconnected flag). However, as the tty-port implementation currently wakes up processes before calling port shutdown, the tty-hupping flag must also be checked to detect hangup for now.

This patch (as1536) fixes a bug in the USB serial core. Unloading and reloading a serial driver while a serial device is plugged in causes errors because of the code in usb_serial_disconnect() that tries to make sure the port_remove method is called. With the new order of driver registration introduced in the 3.4 kernel, this is definitely not the right thing to do (if indeed it ever was). The patch removes that whole section code, along with the mechanism for keeping track of each port's registration state, which is no longer needed. The driver core can handle all that stuff for us. Note: This has been tested only with one or two USB serial drivers. In theory, other drivers might still run into trouble. But if they do, it will be the fault of the drivers, not of this patch -- that is, the drivers will need to be fixed.

But, as we need two functions here, we can't reuse the existing module_driver() macro, so we need to roll our own.

This patch (as1522) adds two new routines to the usb-serial core, for registering and unregistering serial drivers. Instead of registering the usb_driver and usb_serial_drivers separately, with error checking for each one, the drivers can all be registered and unregistered by a single function call. This reduces duplicated code. More importantly, the new core routines change the order in which the drivers are registered. Currently the usb-serial drivers are all registered first and the usb_driver is done last, which leaves a window for problems. A udev script may quickly add a new dynamic-ID for a usb-serial driver, causing the corresponding usb_driver to be probed. If the usb_driver hasn't been registered yet then an oops will occur. The new routine prevents such problems by registering the usb_driver first. To insure that it gets probed properly for already-attached serial devices, we call driver_attach() after all the usb-serial drivers have been registered. Along with adding the new routines, the patch modifies the "generic" serial driver to use them. Further patches will similarly modify all the other in-tree USB serial drivers.

When a driver doesn't know how much data a device is going to send, the buffer size should be at least as big as the endpoint's maxpacket value. The serial drivers don't follow this rule; many of them request only 256-byte bulk-in buffers. As a result, they suffer overflow errors if a high-speed device wants to send a lot of data, because high-speed bulk endpoints are required to have a maxpacket size of 512. This patch (as1450) fixes the problem by using the driver's bulk_in_size value as a minimum, always allocating buffers no smaller than the endpoint's maxpacket size.

Remove multi-urb write from the generic driver and simplify the prepare_write_buffer prototype: int (*prepare_write_buffer)(struct usb_serial_port *port, void *dest, size_t size); The default implementation simply fills dest with data from port write fifo but drivers can override it if they need to process the outgoing data (e.g. add headers).

Reimplement fifo-based writes in the generic driver using a multiple pre-allocated urb scheme. In contrast to multi-urb writes, no allocations (of urbs or buffers) are made during run-time and there is less pressure on the host stack queues as currently only two urbs are used (implementation is generic and can handle more than two urbs as well, though). Initial tests using ftdi_sio show that the implementation achieves the same (maximum) throughput at high baudrates as multi-urb writes. The CPU usage is much lower than for multi-urb writes for small write requests and only slightly higher for large (e.g. 2k) requests (due to extra copy via fifo?). Also outperforms multi-urb writes for small write requests on an embedded arm-9 system, where multi-urb writes are CPU-bound at high baudrates (perf reveals that a lot of time is spent in the host stack enqueue function -- could perhaps be a bug as well). Keeping the original write_urb, buffer and flag for now as there are other drivers depending on them.
