Lan Tianyu 4d9e4088e0 usb: add decriptor of persist fail for some morph usb devices
Some morph devices will morph after being reset and cause persist
to fail. This patch is to add descriptor about this in the
Document/usb/persist.txt

Alan Stern 86c57edf60 USB: use reset_resume when normal resume fails
This patch (as1109b) makes USB-Persist more resilient to errors.  With
the current code, if a normal resume fails, it's an unrecoverable
error.  With the patch, if a normal resume fails (and if the device is
enabled for USB-Persist) then a reset-resume is tried.

This fixes the problem reported in Bugzilla #10977.

Alan Stern eb764c4be1 USB: check serial-number string after device reset
This patch (as1048) extends the descriptor checking after a device is
reset.  Now the SerialNumber string descriptor is compared to its old
value, in addition to the device and configuration descriptors.

As a consequence, the kmalloc() call in usb_string() is now on the
error-handling pathway for usb-storage.  Hence its allocation type is
changed to GFO_NOIO.

Alan Stern feccc30d90 USB: remove CONFIG_USB_PERSIST setting
This patch (as1047) removes the USB_PERSIST Kconfig option, enabling
it permanently.  It also prevents the power/persist attribute from
being created for hub devices; there's no point in having it since
USB-PERSIST is always turned on for hubs.

Alan Stern b41a60eca8 USB: add power/persist device attribute
This patch (as920) adds an extra level of protection to the
USB-Persist facility.  Now it will apply by default only to hubs; for
all other devices the user must enable it explicitly by setting the
power/persist device attribute.

The disconnect_all_children() routine in hub.c has been removed and
its code placed inline.  This is the way it was originally as part of
hub_pre_reset(); the revised usage in hub_reset_resume() is
sufficiently different that the code can no longer be shared.
Likewise, mark_children_for_reset() is now inline as part of
hub_reset_resume().  The end result looks much cleaner than before.

The sysfs interface is updated to add the new attribute file, and
there are corresponding documentation updates.

Alan Stern 0458d5b4c9 USB: add USB-Persist facility
This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility,
allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system
suspend.

The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate
warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the
behavior will remain the same as it is now.  But when the option is
on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB
filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small
machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!
