This patch (as874) adds another piece to the user-visible part of the
USB autosuspend interface. The new power/level sysfs attribute allows
users to force the device on (with autosuspend off), force the device
to sleep (with autoresume off), or return to normal automatic operation.

This defines a platform hook to enable/disable a device as a wakeup event
source. It's initially for use with ACPI, but more generally it could be used
whenever enable_irq_wake()/disable_irq_wake() don't suffice.
The hook is called -- if available -- inside pci_enable_wake(); and the
semantics of that call are enhanced so that support for PCI PME# is no longer
needed. It can now work for devices with "legacy PCI PM", when platform
support allows it. (That support would use some board-specific signal for for
the same purpose as PME#.)

Prevent permission checking from being performed when the kernel wants to
unconditionally remove a sysfs group, by introducing an kernel-only variant
of lookup_one_len(), lookup_one_len_kern().
Additionally, as sysfs_remove_group() does not check the return value of
the lookup before using it, a BUG_ON has been added to pinpoint the cause
of any problems potentially caused by this (and as a form of annotation).

The completion in the driver release path is due to ancient history in
the _very_ early 2.5 days when we were not tracking the module reference
count of attributes. It is not needed at all and can be removed.
Note, we now have an empty release function for the driver structure.
This is due to the fact that drivers are statically allocated in the
system at this point in time, something which I want to change in the
future. But remember, drivers are really code, which is reference
counted by the module, unlike devices, which are data and _must_ be
reference counted properly in order to work correctly.

Make multithreaded probing work per subsystem instead of per driver.
It doesn't make much sense to probe the same device for multiple drivers in

a probing thread for each device that probes the drivers one after another.
Also make the decision to use multi-threaded probe per bus instead of per

We get two per-bus sysfs files:
ls-l /sys/subsystem/usb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-02-16 16:42 devices
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 0 2007-02-16 14:55 drivers
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_autoprobe
--w------- 1 root root 4096 2007-02-16 16:42 drivers_probe
The flag "drivers_autoprobe" controls the behavior of the bus to bind
devices by default, or just initialize the device and leave it alone.
The command "drivers_probe" accepts a bus_id and the bus tries to bind a
driver to this device.
Systems who want to control the driver binding with udev, switch off the
bus initiated probing:
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/usb/drivers_autoprobe
echo 0 > /sys/subsystem/pcmcia/drivers_autoprobe
...
and initiate the probing with udev rules like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ATTR{subsystem/drivers_probe}="$kernel"
...
Custom driver binding can happen in earlier rules by something like:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1234", ATTRS{idProduct}=="5678" \
ATTR{subsystem/drivers/<custom-driver>/bind}="$kernel"
This is intended to solve the modprobe.conf mess with "install-rules", custom
bind/unbind-scripts and all the weird things people invented over the years.
It should also provide the functionality "libusual" was supposed to do.
With udev, one can just write a udev rule to drive all USB-disks at the
third port of USB-hub by the "ub" driver, and everything else by
usb-storage. One can also instruct udev to bind different wireless
drivers to identical cards - just selected by the pcmcia slot-number, and
whatever ...
To use the mentioned rules, it needs udev version 106, to be able to
write ATTR{}="$kernel" to sysfs files.

UBI (Latin: "where?") manages multiple logical volumes on a single
flash device, specifically supporting NAND flash devices. UBI provides
a flexible partitioning concept which still allows for wear-levelling
across the whole flash device.
In a sense, UBI may be compared to the Logical Volume Manager
(LVM). Whereas LVM maps logical sector numbers to physical HDD sector
numbers, UBI maps logical eraseblocks to physical eraseblocks.
More information may be found at
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html
Partitioning/Re-partitioning
An UBI volume occupies a certain number of erase blocks. This is
limited by a configured maximum volume size, which could also be
viewed as the partition size. Each individual UBI volume's size can
be changed independently of the other UBI volumes, provided that the
sum of all volume sizes doesn't exceed a certain limit.
UBI supports dynamic volumes and static volumes. Static volumes are
read-only and their contents are protected by CRC check sums.
Bad eraseblocks handling
UBI transparently handles bad eraseblocks. When a physical
eraseblock becomes bad, it is substituted by a good physical
eraseblock, and the user does not even notice this.
Scrubbing
On a NAND flash bit flips can occur on any write operation,
sometimes also on read. If bit flips persist on the device, at first
they can still be corrected by ECC, but once they accumulate,
correction will become impossible. Thus it is best to actively scrub
the affected eraseblock, by first copying it to a free eraseblock
and then erasing the original. The UBI layer performs this type of
scrubbing under the covers, transparently to the UBI volume users.
Erase Counts
UBI maintains an erase count header per eraseblock. This frees
higher-level layers (like file systems) from doing this and allows
for centralized erase count management instead. The erase counts are
used by the wear-levelling algorithm in the UBI layer. The algorithm
itself is exchangeable.
Booting from NAND
For booting directly from NAND flash the hardware must at least be
capable of fetching and executing a small portion of the NAND
flash. Some NAND flash controllers have this kind of support. They
usually limit the window to a few kilobytes in erase block 0. This
"initial program loader" (IPL) must then contain sufficient logic to
load and execute the next boot phase.
Due to bad eraseblocks, which may be randomly scattered over the
flash device, it is problematic to store the "secondary program
loader" (SPL) statically. Also, due to bit-flips it may become
corrupted over time. UBI allows to solve this problem gracefully by
storing the SPL in a small static UBI volume.
UBI volumes vs. static partitions
UBI volumes are still very similar to static MTD partitions:
* both consist of eraseblocks (logical eraseblocks in case of UBI
volumes, and physical eraseblocks in case of static partitions;
* both support three basic operations - read, write, erase.
But UBI volumes have the following advantages over traditional
static MTD partitions:
* there are no eraseblock wear-leveling constraints in case of UBI
volumes, so the user should not care about this;
* there are no bit-flips and bad eraseblocks in case of UBI volumes.
So, UBI volumes may be considered as flash devices with relaxed
restrictions.
Where can it be found?
Documentation, kernel code and applications can be found in the MTD
gits.
What are the applications for?
The applications help to create binary flash images for two purposes: pfi
files (partial flash images) for in-system update of UBI volumes, and plain
binary images, with or without OOB data in case of NAND, for a manufacturing
step. Furthermore some tools are/and will be created that allow flash content
analysis after a system has crashed..
Who did UBI?
The original ideas, where UBI is based on, were developed by Andreas
Arnez, Frank Haverkamp and Thomas Gleixner. Josh W. Boyer and some others
were involved too. The implementation of the kernel layer was done by Artem
B. Bityutskiy. The user-space applications and tools were written by Oliver
Lohmann with contributions from Frank Haverkamp, Andreas Arnez, and Artem.
Joern Engel contributed a patch which modifies JFFS2 so that it can be run on
a UBI volume. Thomas Gleixner did modifications to the NAND layer. Alexander
Schmidt made some testing work as well as core functionality improvements.

del_timer_sync() buys nothing for cancel_delayed_work(), but it is less
efficient since it locks the timer unconditionally, and may wait for the
completion of the delayed_work_timer_fn().
cancel_delayed_work() == 0 means:
before this patch:
work->func may still be running or queued
after this patch:
work->func may still be running or queued, or
delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.
The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
delayed_work_timer_fn() is called with _PENDING

cancel_delayed_work() == 1 with this patch adds a new possibility:
delayed_work->work was cancelled, but delayed_work_timer_fn
is still running (this is only possible for the re-arming
works on single-threaded workqueue).
In this case the timer was re-started by work->func(), nobody
else can do this. This in turn means that delayed_work_timer_fn

because nobody else can queue delayed_work->work.
