Rafael J. Wysocki e42837bcd3 freezer: introduce freezer-friendly waiting macros
Introduce freezer-friendly wrappers around wait_event_interruptible() and
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), originally defined in <linux/wait.h>, to
be used in freezable kernel threads.  Make some of the freezable kernel
threads use them.

This is necessary for the freezer to stop sending signals to kernel threads,
which is implemented in the next patch.

Richard Sharpe 17f060224f USB: allow usbstorage to have LUNS greater than 2Tb
Attached is a very small patch (several comment lines) and a one-line
coded change) that allows for USB storage devices that are larger than
2TB.

At the company where I work we need such support, and one of my
co-workers, Jane Liu, pointed out that SCSI low-layer drivers need to
specify what size CDBs they accept. After looking through the code it
became obvious that the current USB Storage code accepted the default of
12-byte CDBs, so I changed it to accept 16-byte CDBs. This allows our
device to work.

Alan Stern 2f67cd5b1d usb-storage: fix bugs in the disconnect pathway
This patch (as961) fixes a couple of bugs in the disconnect pathway of
usb-storage.

The first problem, which apparently has been around for a while
although nobody noticed it, shows up when an aborted command is still
pending when a disconnect occurs.  The SCSI error-handler will
continue to wait in command_abort() until the us->notify completion is
signalled.  Thus quiesce_and_remove_host() needs to signal it.

The second problem was introduced recently along with autosuspend
support.  Since usb_stor_scan_thread() now calls
usb_autopm_put_interface() before exiting, we can't simply leave the
scanning thread running after a disconnect; we must wait until the
thread exits.  This is solved by adding a new struct completion to the
private data structure.  Fortuitously, it allows the removal of the
rather clunky mechanism used in the past to insure that all threads
have finished before the module is unloaded.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8314418629 Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.

It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.

The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Alan Stern ed76cacbea USB: usb-storage: use kthread_stop() for the control thread
This patch (as923) makes usb-storage's control thread use
kthread_should_stop()/kthread_stop().  The scanning thread can't be
similarly converted until the core kthread implementation allows
threads to call do_exit().

The advantage of this change is that we can now be certain the control
thread has terminated before storage_disconnect() returns.  This will
simplify the locking requirements when autosuspend support is added.

Alan Stern f07600cf9e USB: add reset_resume method
This patch (as918) introduces a new USB driver method: reset_resume.
It is called when a device needs to be reset as part of a resume
procedure (whether because of a device quirk or because of the
USB-Persist facility), thereby taking over a role formerly assigned to
the post_reset method.  As a consequence, post_reset no longer needs
an argument indicating whether it is being called as part of a
reset-resume.  This separation of functions makes the code clearer.

In addition, the pre_reset and post_reset method return types are
changed; they now must return an error code.  The return value is
unused at present, but at some later time we may unbind drivers and
re-probe if they encounter an error during reset handling.

The existing pre_reset and post_reset methods in the usbhid,
usb-storage, and hub drivers are updated to match the new
requirements.  For usbhid the post_reset routine is also used for
reset_resume (duplicate method pointers); for the other drivers a new
reset_resume routine is added.  The change to hub.c looks bigger than
it really is, because mark_children_for_reset_resume() gets moved down
next to the new hub_reset_resume() routine.

A minor change to usb-storage makes the usb_stor_report_bus_reset()
routine acquire the host lock instead of requiring the caller to hold
it already.

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!

This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore
a device that it would otherwise claim.

We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which

driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter
(by ejecting the virtual disc).

The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will
automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that
usb-storage does not claim the device.

driver for the previous generation of products ("sma03") did prove to be
quite useful, as did the sddr09 driver which also has to deal with
low-level physical block layout on SmartMedia.

The original patch has been reformed by me, as it clashed with the

Alan Stern b876aef7f8 [PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: move GetMaxLUN later in time
This patch is originally from Alan Stern (as557).  It has been re-diffed
against a current tree, and I also corrected a minor merging error.

Some time ago we introduced a delay before device scanning, because many
devices do not like to receive SCSI commands right after enumeration.
Now it turns out there's a device that doesn't like to receive
Get-Max-LUN right after enumeration either.  Accordingly this patch
delays the Get-Max-LUN request until the beginning of the scanning
procedure.  This fixes Bugzilla entry #5010.

Three things are worth noting.  First, I removed the locking code from
usb_stor_acquire_resources.  It's not needed, because the locking is to
protect against disconnect events and acquire_resources is only called
during probe (so the disconnect routine can't be called).  Second, I
initialized to 0 the buffer used for the Get-Max-LUN response.  It's not
really necessary, but it will prevent random values from showing up in
the debugging log when the request fails.  Third, I added a test against
the SINGLE_LUN flag.  This will allow us to use the flag to indicate
Bulk-only devices that can't handle Get-Max-LUN.

Matthew Dharm 226173edae [PATCH] USB: storage: Fix messed-up locking
This is patch as550 from Alan Stern.

Apparently someone changed the SCSI core so that it no longer holds the
host lock when doing a device or bus reset.  usb-storage was updated at
the time, but the change was done carelessly.  Some of the code depends
on that lock being held.

This patch reintroduces the host lock where needed and tries to clarify
the comments explaining why the lock is necessary.  It also moves the
code that clears the TIMED_OUT and ABORTING bitflags so that it executes
as soon as the timed-out command has completed (and while the host lock
is held).

Matthew Dharm 26186ba77b [PATCH] USB Storage: close a race condition in disconnect near queuecommand
This patch started life as as534, and has been re-diffed against the latest
tree.

usb-storage has a small loophole, a window between the time queuecommand
accepts a new command and the time the control thread starts to execute
it.  If disconnect is called during that window, the driver won't cancel
the pending command -- we've been relying on the SCSI core to cancel it
for us during host removal.  But it's better for usb-storage to cancel
it;  this avoids races and reduces reliance on the SCSI core.
Fortunately cancelling these commands is easy to do; the key is to do it
_before_ calling scsi_remove_host.

Matthew Dharm 77f46328fb [PATCH] USB Storage: close a race condition in disconnect near probe
This patch started life as as533, and has been re-diffed against the
current tree.

Disconnect processing in usb-storage naturally divides into two parts:
one to quiesce the driver (make sure no commands are executing or
queued) and remove the host, and the other to deallocate all the USB and
non-USB resources.  This patch creates two subroutines to handle those
two parts.  Mostly it's just code movement, but there is one significant
change.  If the scsi-scanning thread fails to initialize but the host
has successfully been added, we need to quiesce the driver before
removing the host.  After all, it's possible that scanning could have
been initiated from somewhere else, such as userspace -- very low
probability, but it's easily handled by calling the new subroutine.

Christoph Lameter 3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
