The new USBDEVFS_DROP_PRIVILEGES ioctl allows a process to voluntarily
relinquish the ability to issue other ioctls that may interfere with
other processes and drivers that have claimed an interface on the
device.
This commit also includes a simple utility to be able to test the
ioctl, located at Documentation/usb/usbdevfs-drop-permissions.c
Example (with qemu-kvm's input device):
$ lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0627:0001 Adomax Technology Co., Ltd
$ usb-devices
...
C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid
$ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
OK: privileges dropped!
Available options:
[0] Exit now
[1] Reset device. Should fail if device is in use
[2] Claim 4 interfaces. Should succeed where not in use
[3] Narrow interface permission mask
Which option shall I run?: 1
ERROR: USBDEVFS_RESET failed! (1 - Operation not permitted)
Which test shall I run next?: 2
ERROR claiming if 0 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)
Which test shall I run next?: 0
After unbinding usbhid:
$ usb-devices
...
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=(none)
$ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
...
Which option shall I run?: 2
OK: claimed if 0
ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)
Which test shall I run next?: 1
OK: USBDEVFS_RESET succeeded
Which test shall I run next?: 0
After unbinding usbhid and restricting the mask:
$ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
...
Which option shall I run?: 3
Insert new mask: 0
OK: privileges dropped!
Which test shall I run next?: 2
ERROR claiming if 0 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)

USB hub has started to use a workqueue instead of kthread. Let's update
the documentation and comments here and there.
This patch mostly just replaces "khubd" with "hub_wq". There are only few
exceptions where the whole sentence was updated. These more complicated
changes can be found in the following files:
Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt
drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c
drivers/usb/core/hcd.c
drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.c

This just removes some warnings generated by the Docbook tools when
turning USB (host and peripheral side) kerneldoc into HTML; they're
all about missing ID attributes.

Remove many duplicated words under Documentation/ and do other small
cleanups.
Examples:
"and and" --> "and"
"in in" --> "in"
"the the" --> "the"
"the the" --> "to the"
...

Now that devfs is removed, there's no longer any need to document how to
do this or that with devfs.
This patch includes some improvements by Joe Perches.

This will make the dynamic-id stuff easier to do, as it will be
self-contained.
No logic was changed at all.

usb/core/buffer.c doesn't export any symbols, so it should use
!I instead of !E to eliminate this warning message:

- Recieved
- wether
and possibly others which I forgot ;-)
Trailing whitespaces on the same line as the typo are also deleted.

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!
