Merge tag 'usb-5.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb
Pull USB updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of USB patches for 5.4-rc1. Two major chunks of code are moving out of the tree and into the staging directory, uwb and wusb (wireless USB support), because there are no devices that actually use this protocol anymore, and what we have today probably doesn't work at all given that the maintainers left many many years ago. So move it to staging where it will be removed in a few releases if no one screams. Other than that, lots of little things. The usual gadget and xhci and usb serial driver updates, along with a bunch of sysfs file cleanups due to the driver core changes to support that. Nothing really major, just constant forward progress. All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'usb-5.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb: (159 commits) USB: usbcore: Fix slab-out-of-bounds bug during device reset usb: cdns3: Remove redundant dev_err call in cdns3_probe() USB: rio500: Fix lockdep violation USB: rio500: simplify locking usb: mtu3: register a USB Role Switch for dual role mode usb: common: add USB GPIO based connection detection driver usb: common: create Kconfig file usb: roles: get usb-role-switch from parent usb: roles: Add fwnode_usb_role_switch_get() function device connection: Add fwnode_connection_find_match() usb: roles: Introduce stubs for the exiting functions in role.h dt-bindings: usb: mtu3: add properties about USB Role Switch dt-bindings: usb: add binding for USB GPIO based connection detection driver dt-bindings: connector: add optional properties for Type-B dt-binding: usb: add usb-role-switch property usbip: Implement SG support to vhci-hcd and stub driver usb: roles: intel: Enable static DRD mode for role switch xhci-ext-caps.c: Add property to disable Intel SW switch usb: dwc3: remove generic PHY calibrate() calls usb: core: phy: add support for PHY calibration ...

-Introduction
-============
-
-UWB is a wide-band communication protocol that is to serve also as the
-low-level protocol for others (much like TCP sits on IP). Currently
-these others are Wireless USB and TCP/IP, but seems Bluetooth and
-Firewire/1394 are coming along.
-
-UWB uses a band from roughly 3 to 10 GHz, transmitting at a max of
-~-41dB (or 0.074 uW/MHz--geography specific data is still being
-negotiated w/ regulators, so watch for changes). That band is divided in
-a bunch of ~1.5 GHz wide channels (or band groups) composed of three
-subbands/subchannels (528 MHz each). Each channel is independent of each
-other, so you could consider them different "busses". Initially this
-driver considers them all a single one.
-
-Radio time is divided in 65536 us long /superframes/, each one divided
-in 256 256us long /MASs/ (Media Allocation Slots), which are the basic
-time/media allocation units for transferring data. At the beginning of
-each superframe there is a Beacon Period (BP), where every device
-transmit its beacon on a single MAS. The length of the BP depends on how
-many devices are present and the length of their beacons.
-
-Devices have a MAC (fixed, 48 bit address) and a device (changeable, 16
-bit address) and send periodic beacons to advertise themselves and pass
-info on what they are and do. They advertise their capabilities and a
-bunch of other stuff.
-
-The different logical parts of this driver are:
-
- *
-
- *UWB*: the Ultra-Wide-Band stack -- manages the radio and
- associated spectrum to allow for devices sharing it. Allows to
- control bandwidth assignment, beaconing, scanning, etc
-
- *
-
- *WUSB*: the layer that sits on top of UWB to provide Wireless USB.
- The Wireless USB spec defines means to control a UWB radio and to
- do the actual WUSB.
-
-
-HWA: Host Wire adapters, your Wireless USB dongle
--------------------------------------------------
-
-WUSB also defines a device called a Host Wire Adaptor (HWA), which in
-mere terms is a USB dongle that enables your PC to have UWB and Wireless
-USB. The Wireless USB Host Controller in a HWA looks to the host like a
-[Wireless] USB controller connected via USB (!)
-
-The HWA itself is broken in two or three main interfaces:
-
- *
-
- *RC*: Radio control -- this implements an interface to the
- Ultra-Wide-Band radio controller. The driver for this implements a
- USB-based UWB Radio Controller to the UWB stack.
-
- *
-
- *HC*: the wireless USB host controller. It looks like a USB host
- whose root port is the radio and the WUSB devices connect to it.
- To the system it looks like a separate USB host. The driver (will)
- implement a USB host controller (similar to UHCI, OHCI or EHCI)
- for which the root hub is the radio...To reiterate: it is a USB
- controller that is connected via USB instead of PCI.
-
- *
-
- *WINET*: some HW provide a WiNET interface (IP over UWB). This
- package provides a driver for it (it looks like a network
- interface, winetX). The driver detects when there is a link up for
- their type and kick into gear.
-
-
-DWA: Device Wired Adaptor, a Wireless USB hub for wired devices
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-These are the complement to HWAs. They are a USB host for connecting
-wired devices, but it is connected to your PC connected via Wireless
-USB. To the system it looks like yet another USB host. To the untrained
-eye, it looks like a hub that connects upstream wirelessly.
-
-We still offer no support for this; however, it should share a lot of
-code with the HWA-RC driver; there is a bunch of factorization work that
-has been done to support that in upcoming releases.
-
-
-WHCI: Wireless Host Controller Interface, the PCI WUSB host adapter
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This is your usual PCI device that implements WHCI. Similar in concept
-to EHCI, it allows your wireless USB devices (including DWAs) to connect
-to your host via a PCI interface. As in the case of the HWA, it has a
-Radio Control interface and the WUSB Host Controller interface per se.
-
-There is still no driver support for this, but will be in upcoming
-releases.
-
-
-The UWB stack
-=============
-
-The main mission of the UWB stack is to keep a tally of which devices
-are in radio proximity to allow drivers to connect to them. As well, it
-provides an API for controlling the local radio controllers (RCs from
-now on), such as to start/stop beaconing, scan, allocate bandwidth, etc.
-
-
-Devices and hosts: the basic structure
---------------------------------------
-
-The main building block here is the UWB device (struct uwb_dev). For
-each device that pops up in radio presence (ie: the UWB host receives a
-beacon from it) you get a struct uwb_dev that will show up in
-/sys/bus/uwb/devices.
-
-For each RC that is detected, a new struct uwb_rc and struct uwb_dev are
-created. An entry is also created in /sys/class/uwb_rc for each RC.
-
-Each RC driver is implemented by a separate driver that plugs into the
-interface that the UWB stack provides through a struct uwb_rc_ops. The
-spec creators have been nice enough to make the message format the same
-for HWA and WHCI RCs, so the driver is really a very thin transport that
-moves the requests from the UWB API to the device [/uwb_rc_ops->cmd()/]
-and sends the replies and notifications back to the API
-[/uwb_rc_neh_grok()/]. Notifications are handled to the UWB daemon, that
-is chartered, among other things, to keep the tab of how the UWB radio
-neighborhood looks, creating and destroying devices as they show up or
-disappear.
-
-Command execution is very simple: a command block is sent and a event
-block or reply is expected back. For sending/receiving command/events, a
-handle called /neh/ (Notification/Event Handle) is opened with
-/uwb_rc_neh_open()/.
-
-The HWA-RC (USB dongle) driver (drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c) does this job for
-the USB connected HWA. Eventually, drivers/whci-rc.c will do the same
-for the PCI connected WHCI controller.
-
-
-Host Controller life cycle
---------------------------
-
-So let's say we connect a dongle to the system: it is detected and
-firmware uploaded if needed [for Intel's i1480
-/drivers/uwb/ptc/usb.c:ptc_usb_probe()/] and then it is reenumerated.
-Now we have a real HWA device connected and
-/drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c:hwarc_probe()/ picks it up, that will set up the
-Wire-Adaptor environment and then suck it into the UWB stack's vision of
-the world [/drivers/uwb/lc-rc.c:uwb_rc_add()/].
-
- *
-
- [*] The stack should put a new RC to scan for devices
- [/uwb_rc_scan()/] so it finds what's available around and tries to
- connect to them, but this is policy stuff and should be driven
- from user space. As of now, the operator is expected to do it
- manually; see the release notes for documentation on the procedure.
-
-When a dongle is disconnected, /drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c:hwarc_disconnect()/
-takes time of tearing everything down safely (or not...).
-
-
-On the air: beacons and enumerating the radio neighborhood
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-So assuming we have devices and we have agreed for a channel to connect
-on (let's say 9), we put the new RC to beacon:
-
- *
-
- $ echo 9 0 > /sys/class/uwb_rc/uwb0/beacon
-
-Now it is visible. If there were other devices in the same radio channel
-and beacon group (that's what the zero is for), the dongle's radio
-control interface will send beacon notifications on its
-notification/event endpoint (NEEP). The beacon notifications are part of
-the event stream that is funneled into the API with
-/drivers/uwb/neh.c:uwb_rc_neh_grok()/ and delivered to the UWBD, the UWB
-daemon through a notification list.
-
-UWBD wakes up and scans the event list; finds a beacon and adds it to
-the BEACON CACHE (/uwb_beca/). If he receives a number of beacons from
-the same device, he considers it to be 'onair' and creates a new device
-[/drivers/uwb/lc-dev.c:uwbd_dev_onair()/]. Similarly, when no beacons
-are received in some time, the device is considered gone and wiped out
-[uwbd calls periodically /uwb/beacon.c:uwb_beca_purge()/ that will purge
-the beacon cache of dead devices].
-
-
-Device lists
-------------
-
-All UWB devices are kept in the list of the struct bus_type uwb_bus_type.
-
-
-Bandwidth allocation
---------------------
-
-The UWB stack maintains a local copy of DRP availability through
-processing of incoming *DRP Availability Change* notifications. This
-local copy is currently used to present the current bandwidth
-availability to the user through the sysfs file
-/sys/class/uwb_rc/uwbx/bw_avail. In the future the bandwidth
-availability information will be used by the bandwidth reservation
-routines.
-
-The bandwidth reservation routines are in progress and are thus not
-present in the current release. When completed they will enable a user
-to initiate DRP reservation requests through interaction with sysfs. DRP
-reservation requests from remote UWB devices will also be handled. The
-bandwidth management done by the UWB stack will include callbacks to the
-higher layers will enable the higher layers to use the reservations upon
-completion. [Note: The bandwidth reservation work is in progress and
-subject to change.]
-
-
-Wireless USB Host Controller drivers
-====================================
-
-*WARNING* This section needs a lot of work!
-
-As explained above, there are three different types of HCs in the WUSB
-world: HWA-HC, DWA-HC and WHCI-HC.
-
-HWA-HC and DWA-HC share that they are Wire-Adapters (USB or WUSB
-connected controllers), and their transfer management system is almost
-identical. So is their notification delivery system.
-
-HWA-HC and WHCI-HC share that they are both WUSB host controllers, so
-they have to deal with WUSB device life cycle and maintenance, wireless
-root-hub
-
-HWA exposes a Host Controller interface (HWA-HC 0xe0/02/02). This has
-three endpoints (Notifications, Data Transfer In and Data Transfer
-Out--known as NEP, DTI and DTO in the code).
-
-We reserve UWB bandwidth for our Wireless USB Cluster, create a Cluster
-ID and tell the HC to use all that. Then we start it. This means the HC
-starts sending MMCs.
-
- *
-
- The MMCs are blocks of data defined somewhere in the WUSB1.0 spec
- that define a stream in the UWB channel time allocated for sending
- WUSB IEs (host to device commands/notifications) and Device
- Notifications (device initiated to host). Each host defines a
- unique Wireless USB cluster through MMCs. Devices can connect to a
- single cluster at the time. The IEs are Information Elements, and
- among them are the bandwidth allocations that tell each device
- when can they transmit or receive.
-
-Now it all depends on external stimuli.
-
-New device connection
----------------------
-
-A new device pops up, it scans the radio looking for MMCs that give out
-the existence of Wireless USB channels. Once one (or more) are found,
-selects which one to connect to. Sends a /DN_Connect/ (device
-notification connect) during the DNTS (Device Notification Time
-Slot--announced in the MMCs
-
-HC picks the /DN_Connect/ out (nep module sends to notif.c for delivery
-into /devconnect/). This process starts the authentication process for
-the device. First we allocate a /fake port/ and assign an
-unauthenticated address (128 to 255--what we really do is
-0x80 | fake_port_idx). We fiddle with the fake port status and /hub_wq/
-sees a new connection, so he moves on to enable the fake port with a reset.
-
-So now we are in the reset path -- we know we have a non-yet enumerated
-device with an unauthorized address; we ask user space to authenticate
-(FIXME: not yet done, similar to bluetooth pairing), then we do the key
-exchange (FIXME: not yet done) and issue a /set address 0/ to bring the
-device to the default state. Device is authenticated.
-
-From here, the USB stack takes control through the usb_hcd ops. hub_wq
-has seen the port status changes, as we have been toggling them. It will
-start enumerating and doing transfers through usb_hcd->urb_enqueue() to
-read descriptors and move our data.
-
-Device life cycle and keep alives
----------------------------------
-
-Every time there is a successful transfer to/from a device, we update a
-per-device activity timestamp. If not, every now and then we check and
-if the activity timestamp gets old, we ping the device by sending it a
-Keep Alive IE; it responds with a /DN_Alive/ pong during the DNTS (this
-arrives to us as a notification through
-devconnect.c:wusb_handle_dn_alive(). If a device times out, we
-disconnect it from the system (cleaning up internal information and
-toggling the bits in the fake hub port, which kicks hub_wq into removing
-the rest of the stuff).
-
-This is done through devconnect:__wusb_check_devs(), which will scan the
-device list looking for whom needs refreshing.
-
-If the device wants to disconnect, it will either die (ugly) or send a
-/DN_Disconnect/ that will prompt a disconnection from the system.
-
-Sending and receiving data
---------------------------
-
-Data is sent and received through /Remote Pipes/ (rpipes). An rpipe is
-/aimed/ at an endpoint in a WUSB device. This is the same for HWAs and
-DWAs.
-
-Each HC has a number of rpipes and buffers that can be assigned to them;
-when doing a data transfer (xfer), first the rpipe has to be aimed and
-prepared (buffers assigned), then we can start queueing requests for
-data in or out.
-
-Data buffers have to be segmented out before sending--so we send first a
-header (segment request) and then if there is any data, a data buffer
-immediately after to the DTI interface (yep, even the request). If our
-buffer is bigger than the max segment size, then we just do multiple
-requests.
-
-[This sucks, because doing USB scatter gatter in Linux is resource
-intensive, if any...not that the current approach is not. It just has to
-be cleaned up a lot :)].
-
-If reading, we don't send data buffers, just the segment headers saying
-we want to read segments.
-
-When the xfer is executed, we receive a notification that says data is
-ready in the DTI endpoint (handled through
-xfer.c:wa_handle_notif_xfer()). In there we read from the DTI endpoint a
-descriptor that gives us the status of the transfer, its identification
-(given when we issued it) and the segment number. If it was a data read,
-we issue another URB to read into the destination buffer the chunk of
-data coming out of the remote endpoint. Done, wait for the next guy. The
-callbacks for the URBs issued from here are the ones that will declare
-the xfer complete at some point and call its callback.
-
-Seems simple, but the implementation is not trivial.
-
- *
-
- *WARNING* Old!!
-
-The main xfer descriptor, wa_xfer (equivalent to a URB) contains an
-array of segments, tallys on segments and buffers and callback
-information. Buried in there is a lot of URBs for executing the segments
-and buffer transfers.
-
-For OUT xfers, there is an array of segments, one URB for each, another
-one of buffer URB. When submitting, we submit URBs for segment request
-1, buffer 1, segment 2, buffer 2...etc. Then we wait on the DTI for xfer
-result data; when all the segments are complete, we call the callback to
-finalize the transfer.
-
-For IN xfers, we only issue URBs for the segments we want to read and
-then wait for the xfer result data.
-
-URB mapping into xfers
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-This is done by hwahc_op_urb_[en|de]queue(). In enqueue() we aim an
-rpipe to the endpoint where we have to transmit, create a transfer
-context (wa_xfer) and submit it. When the xfer is done, our callback is
-called and we assign the status bits and release the xfer resources.
-
-In dequeue() we are basically cancelling/aborting the transfer. We issue
-a xfer abort request to the HC, cancel all the URBs we had submitted
-and not yet done and when all that is done, the xfer callback will be
-called--this will call the URB callback.
