This patch uses completion timeout instead of a timer to implement
a timeout when submitting an URB.

It also put the task in interruptible state instead of an
uninterruptible one while waiting for the completion.

This patch is from Alan Stern (as560).  It has been rediffed against a
current tree.

This patch allocates a separate buffer for usb-storage to use when
auto-sensing.  Up to now we have been using the sense buffer embedded in a
scsi_cmnd struct, which is dangerous on hosts that (a) don't do
cache-coherent DMA or (b) have DMA alignment restrictions.

This patch is originally from Alan Stern (as557).  It has been re-diffed
against a current tree, and I also corrected a minor merging error.

Some time ago we introduced a delay before device scanning, because many
devices do not like to receive SCSI commands right after enumeration.
Now it turns out there's a device that doesn't like to receive
Get-Max-LUN right after enumeration either.  Accordingly this patch
delays the Get-Max-LUN request until the beginning of the scanning
procedure.  This fixes Bugzilla entry #5010.

Three things are worth noting.  First, I removed the locking code from
usb_stor_acquire_resources.  It's not needed, because the locking is to
protect against disconnect events and acquire_resources is only called
during probe (so the disconnect routine can't be called).  Second, I
initialized to 0 the buffer used for the Get-Max-LUN response.  It's not
really necessary, but it will prevent random values from showing up in
the debugging log when the request fails.  Third, I added a test against
the SINGLE_LUN flag.  This will allow us to use the flag to indicate
Bulk-only devices that can't handle Get-Max-LUN.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."

Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."

Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

This patch started life as as531 from Alan Stern.  It has been rediffed
against the latest tree.

The SCSI people have deprecated the use of scsi_cmnd.serial_number for
anything other than printk.  Worse than that, the SCSI core doesn't
always increment the number (when the error handler is running, for
example).  So this patch creates a locally-stored value for use in
bulk-only tags.  The net result is a simplification, since we no longer
have to save & restore the serial_number value while autosensing.

This patch causes a port reset whenever there's a transport error or abort.
If that fails it reverts back to doing a mass-storage device reset.  It
started life as as497 and was rediffed by me.

This makes error recovery a lot quicker and more reliable.

This patch does two things to help reset recovery.  It started life as
as496 and was rediffed by me.

First, the patch checks the result of a CLEAR_HALT request and doesn't reset the
endpoint's data toggle unless the request succeeded.

Second, it reduces the timeout for a device reset from 20 seconds to 5
seconds.

If all goes well, then I've finally figured quilt out and this patch should
apply cleanly.

This patch changes the delay for the US_FL_GO_SLOW patch from 110us to 125.
Some delays need this extra delay includign Jan De Luyck's drive which spawned
the original increase from 110 to 110us. 125 is a microframe, so this delay
seems to make sense more than just be a random delay (thanks to David Brownell
for pointing that out after my original patch).

===================================================================

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!
