This patch (as1206) is the first step in converting usb-storage's
subdrivers into separate modules. It makes the following large-scale
changes:
Remove a bunch of unnecessary #ifdef's from usb_usual.h.
Not truly necessary, but it does clean things up.
Move the USB device-ID table (which is duplicated between
libusual and usb-storage) into its own source file,
usual-tables.c, and arrange for this to be linked with
either libusual or usb-storage according to whether
USB_LIBUSUAL is configured.
Add to usual-tables.c a new usb_usual_ignore_device()
function to detect whether a particular device needs to be
managed by a subdriver and not by the standard handlers
in usb-storage.
Export a whole bunch of functions in usb-storage, renaming
some of them because their names don't already begin with
"usb_stor_". These functions will be needed by the new
subdriver modules.
Split usb-storage's probe routine into two functions.
The subdrivers will call the probe1 routine, then fill in
their transport and protocol settings, and then call the
probe2 routine.
Take the default cases and error checking out of
get_transport() and get_protocol(), which run during
probe1, and instead put a check for invalid transport
or protocol values into the probe2 function.
Add a new probe routine to be used for standard devices,
i.e., those that don't need a subdriver. This new routine
checks whether the device should be ignored (because it
should be handled by ub or by a subdriver), and if not,
calls the probe1 and probe2 functions.

With "nousb" cmdline booting, built-in serial drivers (ie. airecable)
will trigger kernel oops.
Indeed, if nousb, usb_serial_init will failed, and the usb serial bus type
will not be registerd, then usb_serial_register call driver_register
which try to register the driver to a not registered bus.

This patch (as1204) adds a software retry mechanism to ehci-hcd. It
gets invoked when the driver encounters transaction errors on an
asynchronous endpoint. On many systems, hardware deficiencies cause
such errors to occur if one device is unplugged while the host is
communicating with another device. With the patch, the failed
transactions are retried and generally succeed the second or third
time through.
This is based on code originally written by Koichiro Saito.

commit 64a87b24: [SCSI] Let scsi_cmnd->cmnd use request->cmd buffer
changed the scsi_eh_prep_cmnd logic by making it clear
the ->cmnd buffer. But the sat to cypress atacb translation supposed
the ->cmnd buffer wasn't modified.
This patch makes it set the ->cmnd buffer after scsi_eh_prep_cmnd call.
The problem and a fix was reported by Matthieu CASTET <castet.matthieu@free.fr>
It also removes all the hackery fiddling of scsi_cmnd and scsi_eh_save by
requesting from scsi_eh_prep_cmnd to prepare a read into ->sense_buffer,
which is much more suitable a buffer for HW transfers, then after the command
execution the regs read is copied into regs buffer before actual preparation
of sense_buffer.

A USB-serial converter device is plugged into a system, and a process
opens it's device node. If the device is physically removed whilst the
process still has its device node open, then other processes can
sucessfully open the now non-existent device's node. I would expect
that open() on a device that has been physically removed should return
ENODEV.
This is manifesting itself with getty on my system. I do the following:
1. set up inittab to spawn getty on ttyUSB0, eg:
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100
2. Plug in USB-serial converter cable
3. Wait for a login prompt on a terminal program attached to the serial
cable
4. Login
5. Pull the USB-serial converter cable from the box
6. getty doesn't realise that ttyUSB0 no longer exists as /dev/ttyUSB0
can still be opened.
7. Re-insert the USB-serial converter cable
8. You should no longer get a login prompt over the serial cable, as
the the USB-serial cable now shows up as /dev/ttyUSB1, and getty is
trying to talk to /dev/ttyUSB0.
The attached patch will cause open("/dev/ttyUSB0", O_RDONLY) to return
ENODEV after the USB-serial converter has been pulled. The patch was
created against 2.6.28.1. I can supply it against something else if
needs be. It is fairly simple, so should be OK.
I am using a pl2303 device, although I don't think that makes any
difference.

The issue is with hardware which needs help conforming to part
of the USB 2.0 spec (section 8.5.3.2); some can automagically
send a ZLP in response to an unexpected IN, but not all chips
will do that. We don't need to check the packet length ourselves
the way earlier code did, since the UDC must already check it.
But we do need to tell the UDC when it must force a short packet
termination of the data stage.
