      USB: make usbdevices export their device nodes instead of using a separate class · 9f8b17e6
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      o The "real" usb-devices export now a device node which can
        populate /dev/bus/usb.
      
      o The usb_device class is optional now and can be disabled in the
        kernel config. Major/minor of the "real" devices and class devices
        are the same.
      
      o The environment of the usb-device event contains DEVNUM and BUSNUM to
        help udev and get rid of the ugly udev rule we need for the class
        devices.
      
      o The usb-devices and usb-interfaces share the same bus, so I used
        the new "struct device_type" to let these devices identify
        themselves. This also removes the current logic of using a magic
        platform-pointer.
        The name of the device_type is also added to the environment
        which makes it easier to distinguish the different kinds of devices
        on the same subsystem.
      
        It looks like this:
          add@/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
          ACTION=add
          DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1
          SUBSYSTEM=usb
          SEQNUM=1533
          MAJOR=189
          MINOR=131
          DEVTYPE=usb_device
          PRODUCT=46d/c03e/2000
          TYPE=0/0/0
          BUSNUM=002
          DEVNUM=004
      
      This udev rule works as a replacement for usb_device class devices:
        SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", \
          NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644"
      
      Updated patch, which needs the device_type patches in Greg's tree.
      
      I also got a bugzilla assigned for this. :)

      [PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure · ba52de12
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode.  Filesystems that want
      to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
      routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
      
      Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
      values for i_blksize.

      [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private · 8e18e294
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
      on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
      in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
      (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
      save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
      disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
      in the VFS inode structure).
      
      This patch:
      
      The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
      which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
      using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
      a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
      cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
      the union will actually be used.

      [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount · 454e2398
      David Howells 提交于
      Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
      permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.
      
      The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
      pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
      which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
      superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).
      
      The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
      superblock pointer.
      
      This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
      points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
      such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
      and mnt_sb would be set directly.
      
      The patch also makes the following changes:
      
       (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
           pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
           very little.
      
       (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
           normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
           always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().
      
       (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
           dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().
      
           This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
           aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
           currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
           and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
           dentries being left unculled.
      
           However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
           implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
           simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
           inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
           with child trees.
      
           [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.
      
       (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
           changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

      [PATCH] shrink dentry struct · 5160ee6f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
      UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
      of memory cache lines.
      
      Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
      results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
      (128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
      
      This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
      where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
      memory needs.
      
      At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
      to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
      
      Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
      the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
      but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
      
      As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
      worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

      [PATCH] USB: real nodes instead of usbfs · fbf82fd2
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class
      where every connected usb-device will show up:
      
        tree /sys/class/usb_device/
        /sys/class/usb_device/
        |-- usb1.1
        |   |-- dev
        |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1
        |-- usb2.1
        |   |-- dev
        |   `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2
        ...
      
      The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes.
        kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/
        /dev/bus/usb/
        |-- 1
        |   `-- 1
        |-- 2
        |   `-- 1
        ...
      
      udev rule:
        SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c"
        (echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/')
      
      This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs:
        export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb
      
      Background:
        All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of
        the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr
        replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device
        nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like
        "Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support.
      
      New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real
      nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks
      up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files.
      
      This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up:
        SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c"
      
      /sbin/usbdevice:
        #!/bin/sh
        echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/'
