Linus Torvalds 77c688ac87 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The big thing in this pile is Eric's unmount-on-rmdir series; we
  finally have everything we need for that.  The final piece of prereqs
  is delayed mntput() - now filesystem shutdown always happens on
  shallow stack.

  Other than that, we have several new primitives for iov_iter (Matt
  Wilcox, culled from his XIP-related series) pushing the conversion to
  ->read_iter()/ ->write_iter() a bit more, a bunch of fs/dcache.c
  cleanups and fixes (including the external name refcounting, which
  gives consistent behaviour of d_move() wrt procfs symlinks for long
  and short names alike) and assorted cleanups and fixes all over the
  place.

  This is just the first pile; there's a lot of stuff from various
  people that ought to go in this window.  Starting with
  unionmount/overlayfs mess...  ;-/"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (60 commits)
  fs/file_table.c: Update alloc_file() comment

  fix misuses of f_count() in ppp and netlink
  ncpfs: use list_for_each_entry() for d_subdirs walk
  vfs: move getname() from callers to do_mount()
  gfs2_atomic_open(): skip lookups on hashed dentry

  jfs: don't hash direct inode
  [s390] remove pointless assignment of ->f_op in vmlogrdr ->open()

README

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
