Recently usfbs gained availability to retrieve device speed, but there is sill no way to determine the bus number or list of ports the device is connected to when using usbfs. While this information can be obtained from sysfs, not all environments allow sysfs access. In a jailed environment a program might be simply given an opened file descriptor to usbfs device, and it is really important that all data can be gathered from said file descriptor. This patch introduces a new ioctl, USBDEVFS_CONNINFO_EX, which return extended connection information for the device, including the bus number, address, port list and speed. The API allows kernel to extend amount of data returned by the ioctl and userspace has an option of adjusting the amount of data it is willing to consume. A new capability, USBDEVFS_CAP_CONNINFO_EX, is introduced to help userspace in determining whether the kernel supports this new ioctl.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
