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."

Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely
redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the
SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than
taking up some space.
Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM
drivers which Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> fixed
up.

This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.
Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

This patch enables power management (suspend, resume) support for zd1201.
It fixes problems after wakeup for me, but these problems did not appear
everytime without this patch. it's a bit empirical, based on what the
usbnet does, so maybe not correct... Maybe someone can give it a look
before it's applied.

Updates to the usbnet driver:
- Remove a warning when built with Zaurus support but not CDC Ethernet;
just moves an #ifdef to cover more code
- Two tweaks to the pseudo-MDLM support:
* correctly handle _either_ of the two GUIDs
* ignore a padding bit that doesn't seem necessary
- Remove ID for one Motorola phone that uses the MDLM stuff.
It also updates the Kconfig helptext to make it clearer that the "Zaurus"
configuration option supports an increasing (sigh) family of nonstandard
peripheral protocols.

I reproduced the same oops while trying to execute at+mode=99, it would
be nice to get these fix merged since I believe it's still needed to
connect the laptop over gprs (something I didn't test yet).

This is a somewhat more comprehensive fix for the problem of devices
like the newer Zaurii ... or in this case some Motorola cell phones.
To recap, the problem's root cause is that these devices aren't using
standard USB class specifications for their network links, and so far
we've had to add lots of device-specific driver entries. The vendor
fix abuses the CDC MDLM descriptors (they _could_ have conformed to
the spec, but didn't) and defines a "Belcarra firmware" pseudo-class.
This patch recognizes that pseudo-class by the GUIDs in those descriptors,
and handles the devices that just use the Zaurus framing.

Modify the ASIX USB Ethernet code to make use of the new status
infrastructure in usbnet.
Additionally, add a link_reset() handler to the struct usbnet
structure to provide a generic means for a driver to perform link
reset tasks such as a determining link speed and setting
device flags accordingly.

This is the first of a few installments of PM API updates to match the
recent switch to "pm_message_t". This installment primarily affects
USB device drivers (for USB interfaces), and it changes the handful of
drivers which currently implement suspend methods:
- <linux/usb.h> and usbcore, signature change
- Some drivers only changed the signature, net effect this just
shuts up "sparse -Wbitwise":
* hid-core
* stir4200
- Two network drivers did that, and also grew slightly more
featureful suspend code ... they now properly shut down
their activities. (As should stir4200...)
* pegasus
* usbnet
Note that the Wake-On-Lan (WOL) support in pegasus doesn't yet work; looks
to me like it's missing a request to turn it on, vs just configuring it.
The ASIX code in usbnet also has WOL hooks that are ready to use; untested.

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!
