Alan Stern beafef072a USB: documentation update for usb_unlink_urb
This patch (as936) updates the kerneldoc for usb_unlink_urb.  The
explanation of how endpoint queues are meant to work is now clearer
and in better agreement with reality.

Marcel Holtmann 8b3b01c898 USB: Add URB_FREE_BUFFER flag and the logic behind it
USB: Add URB_FREE_BUFFER flag for freeing the transfer buffer

In some cases it is not needed that the driver keeps track of the
transfer buffer of an URB. It can be simply freed along with the
URB itself when the reference count goes down to zero. The new
flag URB_FREE_BUFFER enables this behavior.

Alan Stern 896fbd7199 usbcore: remove unused bandwith-related code
This patch (as841) removes from usbcore a couple of support routines
meant to help with bandwidth allocation.  With the changes to uhci-hcd
in the previous patch, these routines are no longer used anywhere.
Also removed is the CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH option; it no longer does
anything and is no longer needed since the HCDs now handle bandwidth
issues correctly.

Tobias Klauser ec17cf1cfe USB: Remove unneeded void * casts in core files
The patch removes unneeded casts for the following (void *) pointers:
 - struct file: private
 - struct urb: context
 - struct usb_bus: hcpriv
 - return value of kmalloc()

The patch also contains some whitespace cleanup in the relevant areas.

Alan Stern a6d2bb9ff9 USB: remove struct usb_operations
All of the currently-supported USB host controller drivers use the HCD
bus-glue framework.  As part of the program for flattening out the glue
layer, this patch (as769) removes the usb_operations structure.  All
function calls now go directly to the HCD routines (slightly renamed
to remain within the "usb_" namespace).

The patch also removes usb_alloc_bus(), because it's not useful in the
HCD framework and it wasn't referenced anywhere.

David Brownell b13296c661 [PATCH] updates for "controller suspended" handling
Reject URBs to _all_ devices when their host controllers are suspended;
even root hub registers will be unavailable.  Also, don't reject urbs
to root hubs in other cases; the only upstream link is through that
controller (on PCI or whatever SOC bus is in use).

Alan Stern b375a0495f [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel
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."

Alan Stern 8835f66573 [PATCH] USB: USB API documentation modification
In response to complaints about excessive latency in the uhci-hcd driver
I'm planning to convert it to a top-half/bottom-half design.  It turns out
that to do this, the USB API has to be modified slightly since the driver
will not be able to meet one of the guarantees in the current API.  This
patch changes some kerneldoc, specifying the weaker guarantee.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
