with "Unable to handle NULL pointer dereference at...". This is due to

This patch (as609) changes the way we keep track of power budgeting for
USB hubs and devices, and it updates the choose_configuration routine to
take this information into account. (This is something we should have
been doing all along.) A new field in struct usb_device holds the amount
of bus current available from the upstream port, and the usb_hub structure
keeps track of the current available for each downstream port.
Two new rules for configuration selection are added:
Don't select a self-powered configuration when only bus power
is available.
Don't select a configuration requiring more bus power than is
available.
However the first rule is #if-ed out, because I found that the internal
hub in my HP USB keyboard claims that its only configuration is
self-powered. The rule would prevent the configuration from being chosen,
leaving the hub & keyboard unconfigured. Since similar descriptor errors
may turn out to be fairly common, it seemed wise not to include a rule
that would break automatic configuration unnecessarily for such devices.
The second rule may also trigger unnecessarily, although this should be
less common. More likely it will annoy people by sometimes failing to
accept configurations that should never have been chosen in the first
place.
The patch also changes usbcore's reaction when no configuration is
suitable. Instead of raising an error and rejecting the device, now
the core will simply leave the device unconfigured. People can always
work around such problems by installing configurations manually through
sysfs.

This patch (as588) fixes the way endpoint attribute files are registered
and unregistered. Now they will correctly track along with altsetting
changes. This fixes bugzilla entry #5467.
In a separate but related change, when a usb_reset_configuration call
fails, the device state is not changed to USB_STATE_ADDRESS. In the
first place, failure means that we don't know what the state is, not
that we know the device is unconfigured. In the second place, doing
this can potentially lead to a memory leak, since usbcore might not
realize there still is a current configuration that needs to be
destroyed.

Because there is no bulk_interrupt_message() routine and no
USBDEVFS_INTERRUPT ioctl, people have been forced to abuse the
usb_bulk_message() routine and USBDEVFS_BULK by using them for interrupt
transfers as well as bulk transfers.
This patch (as567) formalizes this practice and adds code to
usb_bulk_message() for detecting when the target is really an interrupt
endpoint. If it is, the routine submits an interrupt URB (using the
default interval) instead of a bulk URB. In theory this should help HCDs
that don't like it when people try to mix transfer types, queuing both
periodic and non-periodic types for the same endpoint.
Not fully tested -- I don't have any programs that use USBDEVFS_BULK for
interrupt transfers -- but it compiles okay and normal bulk messages work
as well as before.

This updates the handling of power state for USB interfaces.
- Formalizes an existing invariant: interface "power state" is a boolean:
ON when I/O is allowed, and FREEZE otherwise. It does so by defining
some inlined helpers, then using them.
- Adds a useful invariant: the only interfaces marked active are those
bound to non-suspended drivers. Later patches build on this invariant.
- Simplifies the interface driver API (and removes some error paths) by
removing the requirement that they record power state changes during
suspend and resume callbacks. Now usbcore does that.
A few drivers were simplified to address that last change.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

This patch handles a rarely-encountered failure mode in usbcore. It's
legal for device_add to fail (although now it happens even more rarely
than before since failure to bind a driver is no longer fatal). So when
we destroy the interfaces in a configuration, we shouldn't try to delete
ones which weren't successfully registered. Also, failure to register an
interface shouldn't be fatal either -- I think; you may disagree about
this part of the patch.

This reverts a recent change to usb_set_interface(). The change worked
around a quirk in certain devices, but doing this in usbcore creates
needless regressions for other devices. More appropriate fixes won't
put such handling in usbcore.
Basically it's tricky to do a full software reset of USB device state, since
the devices don't all act the same. This adds a note to the kerneldoc for
the usb_reset_configuration() call to highlight the quirk this was working
around: endpoint data toggles not being reset.

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!
