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. :)

Say Y here if you want the USB core & hub drivers to produce a bunch
|
|
of debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
|
|
problem with USB support and want to see more of what is going on.

---help---
|
|
If you say Y here (and to "/proc file system support" in the "File
|
|
systems" section, above), you will get a file /proc/bus/usb/devices
|
|
which lists the devices currently connected to your USB bus or
|
|
busses, and for every connected device a file named
|
|
"/proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy", where xxx is the bus number and yyy the
|
|
device number; the latter files can be used by user space programs
|
|
to talk directly to the device. These files are "virtual", meaning
|
|
they are generated on the fly and not stored on the hard drive.
|
|
|
|
You may need to mount the usbfs file system to see the files, use
|
|
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
|
|
|
|
For the format of the various /proc/bus/usb/ files, please read
|
|
<file:Documentation/usb/proc_usb_info.txt>.
|
|
|
|
Usbfs files can't handle Access Control Lists (ACL), which are the
|
|
default way to grant access to USB devices for untrusted users of a
|
|
desktop system. The usbfs functionality is replaced by real
|
|
device-nodes managed by udev. These nodes live in /dev/bus/usb and
|
|
are used by libusb.

---help---
|
|
Userspace access to USB devices is granted by device-nodes exported
|
|
directly from the usbdev in sysfs. Old versions of the driver
|
|
core and udev needed additional class devices to export device nodes.
|
|
|
|
These additional devices are difficult to handle in userspace, if
|
|
information about USB interfaces must be available. One device contains
|
|
the device node, the other device contains the interface data. Both
|
|
devices are at the same level in sysfs (siblings) and one can't access
|
|
the other. The device node created directly by the usbdev is the parent
|
|
device of the interface and therefore easily accessible from the interface
|
|
event.
|
|
|
|
This option provides backward compatibility if needed.

config USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS

bool "Dynamic USB minor allocation (EXPERIMENTAL)"

|
|
help
|
|
If you say Y here, the USB subsystem will use dynamic minor
|
|
allocation for any device that uses the USB major number.
|
|
This means that you can have more than 16 of a single type
|
|
of device (like USB printers).
|
|

If you are unsure about this, say N here.

|

help
|
|
If you say Y here, you can use driver calls or the sysfs
|
|
"power/state" file to suspend or resume individual USB
|
|
peripherals.
|
|
|
|
Also, USB "remote wakeup" signaling is supported, whereby some
|
|
USB devices (like keyboards and network adapters) can wake up
|
|
their parent hub. That wakeup cascades up the USB tree, and
|
|
could wake the system from states like suspend-to-RAM.
|

If you are unsure about this, say N here.

|

help
|
|
If you say Y here, the "otg_whitelist.h" file will be used as a
|
|
product whitelist, so USB peripherals not listed there will be
|
|
rejected during enumeration. This behavior is required by the
|
|
USB OTG specification for all devices not on your product's
|
|
"Targeted Peripherals List".
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, peripherals not listed there will only generate a
|
|
warning and enumeration will continue. That's more like what
|
|
normal Linux-USB hosts do (other than the warning), and is
|
|
convenient for many stages of product development.

If you say Y here, then Linux will refuse to enumerate
|
|
external hubs. OTG hosts are allowed to reduce hardware
|
|
and software costs by not supporting external hubs.
