It looks like I've run into some inconsistency in the USB stack behavior.
The USB stack maintains, among others, two states for the attach
USB device: authorized and owned. Authorization state is accessible to
the user space code through correspondent sysfs files, the ownership
can be set by claiming the hub's port with ioctl call. Both state may
be set before the device is attached, by access the hub settings. When
the new device is attached, both authorization and ownership prevent
the kernel USB stack from setting the newly attached device
configuration, but when the device is authorized, the ownership state
is ignored. It looks like ignoring the ownership state on
authorization make the stack behavior inconsistent; it also prevents
the user space code from completely overriding configuration
selection, important for implementing workarounds for bugs in the
device configuration selection.
The following patch makes the stack behavior more consistent, by
moving ownership test into usb_choose_configuration - the later
function is used both by generic_probe and usb_authorize_device

This patch (as1410) makes a slight change to the strategy used for
choosing a default configuration. Currently we skip configs whose
first interface is RNDIS, if the kernel wasn't built with the
corresponding driver. This risks losing access to the other
interfaces in those configs. In addition, if there is only one config
then we will end up not configuring the device at all.
This changes the logic; now such configurations will be skipped only
if there is at least one other config.

The usbcore headers: hcd.h and hub.h are shared between usbcore,
HCDs and a couple of other drivers (e.g. USBIP modules).
So, it makes sense to move them into a more public location and
to cleanup dependency of those modules on kernel internal headers.
This patch moves hcd.h from drivers/usb/core into include/linux/usb/

This patch (as1372) fixes a bug in the routine that chooses the
default configuration to install when a new USB device is detected.
The algorithm is supposed to look for a config whose first interface
is for a non-vendor-specific class. But the way it's currently
written, it will also accept a config with no interfaces at all, which
is not very useful. (Believe it or not, such things do exist.)

This patch (as1258) implements a feature that users have been asking
for: It gives programs the ability to "claim" a port on a hub, via a
new usbfs ioctl. A device plugged into a "claimed" port will not be
touched by the kernel beyond the immediate necessities of
initialization and enumeration.
In particular, when a device is plugged into a "claimed" port, the
kernel will not select and install a configuration. And when a config
is installed by usbfs or sysfs, the kernel will not probe any drivers
for any of the interfaces. (However the kernel will fetch various
string descriptors during enumeration. One could argue that this
isn't really necessary, but the strings are exported in sysfs.)
The patch does not guarantee exclusive access to these devices; it is
still possible for more than one program to open the device file
concurrently. Programs are responsible for coordinating access among
themselves.
A demonstration program showing how to use the new interface can be
found in an attachment to
http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=124345857431452&w=2
The patch also makes a small simplification to the hub driver,
replacing a bunch of more-or-less useless variants of "out of memory"
with a single message.

This patch (as1177) modifies the USB core suspend and resume
routines. The resume functions now will take a pm_message_t argument,
so they will know what sort of resume is occurring. The new argument
is also passed to the port suspend/resume and bus suspend/resume
routines (although they don't use it for anything but debugging).
In addition, special pm_message_t values are used for user-initiated,
device-initiated (i.e., remote wakeup), and automatic suspend/resume.
By testing these values, drivers can tell whether or not a particular
suspend was an autosuspend. Unfortunately, they can't do the same for
resumes -- not until the pm_message_t argument is also passed to the
drivers' resume methods. That will require a bigger change.
IMO, the whole Power Management framework should have been set up this
way in the first place.

There is a potential deadlock when the usb_generic driver is unbound
from a device. The problem is that generic_disconnect() is called
with the device lock held, and it removes a bunch of device attributes
from sysfs. If a user task happens to be running an attribute method
at the time, the removal will block until the method returns. But at
least one of the attribute methods (the store routine for power/level)
needs to acquire the device lock!
This patch (as1093) eliminates the deadlock by moving the calls to
create and remove the sysfs attributes from the usb_generic driver
into usb_new_device() and usb_disconnect(), where they can be invoked
without holding the device lock.
Besides, the other sysfs attributes are created when the device is
registered and removed when the device is unregistered. So it seems
only fitting for the extra attributes to be created and removed at the
same time.

This patch (as987) changes the way FREEZE and PRETHAW suspend events
are handled in usbcore. The decision about whether or not to ignore
them for non-root devices is pushed down into the USB-device driver,

This is appropriate, since devices exported to a virtualized guest or
over a network may indeed need to handle these types of suspend, even
though normal devices don't.

These USB API functions will do the full authorization/deauthorization
to be used for a device. When authorized we effectively allow a
configuration to be set. Reverse that when deauthorized.
Effectively this means that we have to clean all the configuration
descriptors on deauthorize and reload them when we authorized. We could
do without throwing them out for wired devices, but for wireless, we can
read them only after authenticating, and thus, when authorizing an
authenticated device we would need to read them. So to simplify, always
release them on deauthorize(), re-read them on authorize().
Also fix leak reported by Ragner Magalhaes; in usb_deauthorize_device(),
bNumConfigurations was being set to zero before the for loop, and thus
the different raw descriptors where never being freed.

This patch (as919) unifies the code paths used for normal resume and
for reset-resume. Earlier I had failed to note a section in the USB
spec which requires the host to resume a suspended port before
resetting it if the attached device is enabled for remote wakeup.
Since the port has to be resumed anyway, we might as well reuse the
existing code.
The main changes are:
usb_reset_suspended_device() is eliminated.
usb_root_hub_lost_power() is moved down next to the
hub_reset_resume() routine, to which it is logically
related.
finish_port_resume() does a port reset() if the device's
reset_resume flag is set.
usb_port_resume() doesn't check whether the port is initially
enabled if this is a USB-Persist sort of resume.
Code to perform the port reset is added to the resume pathway
for the non-CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND case.

This patch (as916) completes the separation of code paths for suspend
and resume of root hubs as opposed to non-root devices. Root hubs
will be power-managed through their bus_suspend and bus_resume
methods, whereas normal devices will use usb_port_suspend() and
usb_port_resume().
Changes to the hcd_bus_{suspend,resume} routines mostly represent
motion of code that was already present elsewhere. They include:
Adding debugging log messages,
Setting the device state appropriately, and
Adding a resume recovery time delay.
Changes to the port-suspend and port-resume routines in hub.c include:
Removal of checks for root devices (since they will never
be triggered), and
Removal of checks for NULL or invalid device pointers (these
were left over from earlier kernel versions and aren't needed
at all).

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 (as885) moves the root-hub bus_suspend() and bus_resume()
method calls from the hub driver's suspend and resume methods into the
usb_generic driver methods, where they make just as much sense.
Their old locations were not fully correct. For example, in a kernel
compiled without CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND, if one were to do:
echo -n 1-0:1.0 >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/hub/unbind
to unbind the hub driver from a root hub, there would then be no way
to suspend that root hub. Attempts to put the system to sleep would
fail; the USB controller driver would refuse to suspend because the
root hub was still active.
The patch also makes a very slight change in the way devices with no
driver are handled during suspend. Rather than doing a standard USB
port-suspend directly, now the suspend routine in usb_generic is
called. In practice this should never affect anyone.

Some USB devices do have a configuration 0, in contravention of the
USB spec. Normally 0 is supposed to indicate that a device is
unconfigured.
While we can't change what the device is doing, we can change usbcore.
This patch (as852) allows usb_set_configuration() to accept a config
value of -1 as indicating that the device should be unconfigured. The
request actually sent to the device will still contain 0 as the value.
But even if the device does have a configuration 0, dev->actconfig
will be set to NULL and dev->state will be set to USB_STATE_ADDRESS.
Without some sort of special-case handling like this, there is no way
to unconfigure these non-compliant devices.

Windows Mobile 5 based devices described as supporting "ActiveSync":
- Speak RNDIS but lack the CDC and union descriptors. This patch
updates the cdc ethernet code to fake ACM descriptors we need.
- Require RNDIS_MSG_QUERY messages to include a buffer of the size the
response should generate. This patch updates the rndis host code to
pass this will-be-ignored data.
The resulting RNDIS host code has been reported to work with several
WM5 based devices.
(Note that a fancier patch is available at synce.sf.net.)
Some bugfixes, affecting not just ActiveSync:
(a) when cleaning up after RNDS init fails, scrub the second interface
just like cdc_ether does, so disconnect won't oops.
(b) handle peripherals that use the pad-to-end-of-packet option; some
devices can't talk to us if that option doesn't work.
(c) when choosing configurations, don't forget about an RNDIS config
just because the RNDIS driver is dynamically linked.

This patch (as734) rationalizes the various tests of device state and
power states. There are duplications and mistaken tests in several
places.
Perhaps the most interesting challenge is where the hub driver tests to
see that all the child devices are suspended before allowing itself to
be suspended. When CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is set the test is
straightforward, since we expect that the children _will_ be suspended.
But when CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND isn't set, it's not so clear what should be
done. The code compromises by checking the child's
power.power_state.event field.

This patch (as717b) removes the existing recursion in hub resume code:
Resuming a hub will no longer automatically resume the devices attached
to the hub.
At the same time, it adds one level of recursion: Suspending a USB
device will automatically suspend all the device's interfaces. Failure
at an intermediate stage will cause all the already-suspended interfaces
to be resumed. Attempts to suspend or resume an interface by itself will
do nothing, although they won't return an error. Thus the regular
system-suspend and system-resume procedures should continue to work as
before; only runtime PM will be affected.
The patch also removes the code that tests state of the interfaces
before suspending a device. It's no longer needed, since everything
gets suspended together.

Unlike an earlier version of this patch, the new code is type-safe. To
