- removed active from the port structure.
- added documentation to the usb_serial_device_type structure
-
- (10/10/2001) gkh

- added sem to port structure and removed port_lock
-
- (10/05/2000) gkh

- drivers.
-
- (08/28/2000) gkh

-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-usb-serial.c Change Log comments:
-
- (12/10/2002) gkh
- Split the ports off into their own struct device, and added a
- usb-serial bus driver.
-
- (11/19/2002) gkh
- removed a few #ifdefs for the generic code and cleaned up the failure
- logic in initialization.
-
- (10/02/2002) gkh
- moved the console code to console.c and out of this file.
-
- (06/05/2002) gkh
- moved location of startup() call in serial_probe() until after all
- of the port information and endpoints are initialized. This makes
- things easier for some drivers.
-
- (04/10/2002) gkh
- added serial_read_proc function which creates a
- /proc/tty/driver/usb-serial file.
-
- (03/27/2002) gkh
- Got USB serial console code working properly and merged into the main
- version of the tree. Thanks to Randy Dunlap for the initial version
- of this code, and for pushing me to finish it up.
- The USB serial console works with any usb serial driver device.
-
- (03/21/2002) gkh
- Moved all manipulation of port->open_count into the core. Now the
- individual driver's open and close functions are called only when the
- first open() and last close() is called. Making the drivers a bit
- smaller and simpler.
- Fixed a bug if a driver didn't have the owner field set.
-
- (02/26/2002) gkh
- Moved all locking into the main serial_* functions, instead of having
- the individual drivers have to grab the port semaphore. This should
- reduce races.
- Reworked the MOD_INC logic a bit to always increment and decrement, even
- if the generic driver is being used.
-
- (10/10/2001) gkh
- usb_serial_disconnect() now sets the serial->dev pointer is to NULL to
- help prevent child drivers from accessing the device since it is now
- gone.
-
- (09/13/2001) gkh
- Moved generic driver initialize after we have registered with the USB
- core. Thanks to Randy Dunlap for pointing this problem out.
-
- (07/03/2001) gkh
- Fixed module paramater size. Thanks to John Brockmeyer for the pointer.
- Fixed vendor and product getting defined through the MODULE_PARM macro
- if the Generic driver wasn't compiled in.
- Fixed problem with generic_shutdown() not being called for drivers that
- don't have a shutdown() function.
-
- (06/06/2001) gkh
- added evil hack that is needed for the prolific pl2303 device due to the
- crazy way its endpoints are set up.
-
- (05/30/2001) gkh
- switched from using spinlock to a semaphore, which fixes lots of problems.
-
- (04/08/2001) gb
- Identify version on module load.
-
- 2001_02_05 gkh
- Fixed buffer overflows bug with the generic serial driver. Thanks to
- Todd Squires <squirest@ct0.com> for fixing this.
-
- (01/10/2001) gkh
- Fixed bug where the generic serial adaptor grabbed _any_ device that was
- offered to it.
-
- (12/12/2000) gkh
- Removed MOD_INC and MOD_DEC from poll and disconnect functions, and
- moved them to the serial_open and serial_close functions.
- Also fixed bug with there not being a MOD_DEC for the generic driver
- (thanks to Gary Brubaker for finding this.)
-
- (11/29/2000) gkh
- Small NULL pointer initialization cleanup which saves a bit of disk image
-
- (11/01/2000) Adam J. Richter
- instead of using idVendor/idProduct pairs, usb serial drivers
- now identify their hardware interest with usb_device_id tables,
- which they usually have anyhow for use with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE.
-
- (10/05/2000) gkh
- Fixed bug with urb->dev not being set properly, now that the usb
- core needs it.
-
- (09/11/2000) gkh
- Removed DEBUG #ifdefs with call to usb_serial_debug_data
-
- (08/28/2000) gkh
- Added port_lock to port structure.
- Added locks for SMP safeness to generic driver
- Fixed the ability to open a generic device's port more than once.
-
- (07/23/2000) gkh
- Added bulk_out_endpointAddress to port structure.
-
- (07/19/2000) gkh, pberger, and borchers
- Modifications to allow usb-serial drivers to be modules.
-
- (07/03/2000) gkh
- Added more debugging to serial_ioctl call
-
- (06/25/2000) gkh
- Changed generic_write_bulk_callback to not call wake_up_interruptible
- directly, but to have port_softint do it at a safer time.
-
- (06/23/2000) gkh
- Cleaned up debugging statements in a quest to find UHCI timeout bug.
-
- (05/22/2000) gkh
- Changed the makefile, enabling the big CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_SOMTHING to be
- removed from the individual device source files.
-
- (05/03/2000) gkh
- Added the Digi Acceleport driver from Al Borchers and Peter Berger.
-
- (05/02/2000) gkh
- Changed devfs and tty register code to work properly now. This was based on
- the ACM driver changes by Vojtech Pavlik.
-
- (04/27/2000) Ryan VanderBijl
- Put calls to *_paranoia_checks into one function.
-
- (04/23/2000) gkh
- Fixed bug that Randy Dunlap found for Generic devices with no bulk out ports.
- Moved when the startup code printed out the devices that are supported.
-
- (04/19/2000) gkh
- Added driver for ZyXEL omni.net lcd plus ISDN TA
- Made startup info message specify which drivers were compiled in.
-
- (04/03/2000) gkh
- Changed the probe process to remove the module unload races.
- Changed where the tty layer gets initialized to have devfs work nicer.
- Added initial devfs support.
-
- (03/26/2000) gkh
- Split driver up into device specific pieces.
-
- (03/19/2000) gkh
- Fixed oops that could happen when device was removed while a program
- was talking to the device.
- Removed the static urbs and now all urbs are created and destroyed
- dynamically.
- Reworked the internal interface. Now everything is based on the
- usb_serial_port structure instead of the larger usb_serial structure.
- This fixes the bug that a multiport device could not have more than
- one port open at one time.
-
- (03/17/2000) gkh
- Added config option for debugging messages.
- Added patch for keyspan pda from Brian Warner.
-
- (03/06/2000) gkh
- Added the keyspan pda code from Brian Warner <warner@lothar.com>
- Moved a bunch of the port specific stuff into its own structure. This
- is in anticipation of the true multiport devices (there's a bug if you
- try to access more than one port of any multiport device right now)
-
- (02/21/2000) gkh
- Made it so that any serial devices only have to specify which functions
- they want to overload from the generic function calls (great,
- inheritance in C, in a driver, just what I wanted...)
- Added support for set_termios and ioctl function calls. No drivers take
- advantage of this yet.
- Removed the #ifdef MODULE, now there is no module specific code.
- Cleaned up a few comments in usb-serial.h that were wrong (thanks again
- to Miles Lott).
- Small fix to get_free_serial.
-
- (02/14/2000) gkh
- Removed the Belkin and Peracom functionality from the driver due to
- the lack of support from the vendor, and me not wanting people to
- accidenatly buy the device, expecting it to work with Linux.
- Added read_bulk_callback and write_bulk_callback to the type structure
- for the needs of the FTDI and WhiteHEAT driver.
- Changed all reverences to FTDI to FTDI_SIO at the request of Bill
- Ryder.
- Changed the output urb size back to the max endpoint size to make
- the ftdi_sio driver have it easier, and due to the fact that it didn't
- really increase the speed any.
-
- (02/11/2000) gkh
- Added VISOR_FUNCTION_CONSOLE to the visor startup function. This was a
- patch from Miles Lott (milos@insync.net).
- Fixed bug with not restoring the minor range that a device grabs, if
- the startup function fails (thanks Miles for finding this).
-
- (02/05/2000) gkh
- Added initial framework for the Keyspan PDA serial converter so that
- Brian Warner has a place to put his code.
- Made the ezusb specific functions generic enough that different
- devices can use them (whiteheat and keyspan_pda both need them).
- Split out a whole bunch of structure and other stuff to a separate
- usb-serial.h file.
- Made the Visor connection messages a little more understandable, now
- that Miles Lott (milos@insync.net) has gotten the Generic channel to
- work. Also made them always show up in the log file.
-
- (01/25/2000) gkh
- Added initial framework for FTDI serial converter so that Bill Ryder
- has a place to put his code.
- Added the vendor specific info from Handspring. Now we can print out
- informational debug messages as well as understand what is happening.
-
- (01/23/2000) gkh
- Fixed problem of crash when trying to open a port that didn't have a
- device assigned to it. Made the minor node finding a little smarter,
- now it looks to find a continuous space for the new device.
-
- (01/21/2000) gkh
- Fixed bug in visor_startup with patch from Miles Lott (milos@insync.net)
- Fixed get_serial_by_minor which was all messed up for multi port
- devices. Fixed multi port problem for generic devices. Now the number
- of ports is determined by the number of bulk out endpoints for the
- generic device.
-
- (01/19/2000) gkh
- Removed lots of cruft that was around from the old (pre urb) driver
- interface.
- Made the serial_table dynamic. This should save lots of memory when
- the number of minor nodes goes up to 256.
- Added initial support for devices that have more than one port.
- Added more debugging comments for the Visor, and added a needed
- set_configuration call.
-
- (01/17/2000) gkh
- Fixed the WhiteHEAT firmware (my processing tool had a bug)
- and added new debug loader firmware for it.
- Removed the put_char function as it isn't really needed.
- Added visor startup commands as found by the Win98 dump.
-
- (01/13/2000) gkh
- Fixed the vendor id for the generic driver to the one I meant it to be.
-
- (01/12/2000) gkh
- Forget the version numbering...that's pretty useless...
- Made the driver able to be compiled so that the user can select which
- converter they want to use. This allows people who only want the Visor
- support to not pay the memory size price of the WhiteHEAT.
- Fixed bug where the generic driver (idVendor=0000 and idProduct=0000)
- grabbed the root hub. Not good.
-
- version 0.4.0 (01/10/2000) gkh
- Added whiteheat.h containing the firmware for the ConnectTech WhiteHEAT
- device. Added startup function to allow firmware to be downloaded to
- a device if it needs to be.
- Added firmware download logic to the WhiteHEAT device.
- Started to add #defines to split up the different drivers for potential
- configuration option.
-
- version 0.3.1 (12/30/99) gkh
- Fixed problems with urb for bulk out.
- Added initial support for multiple sets of endpoints. This enables
- the Handspring Visor to be attached successfully. Only the first
- bulk in / bulk out endpoint pair is being used right now.
-
- version 0.3.0 (12/27/99) gkh
- Added initial support for the Handspring Visor based on a patch from
- Miles Lott (milos@sneety.insync.net)
- Cleaned up the code a bunch and converted over to using urbs only.
-
- version 0.2.3 (12/21/99) gkh
- Added initial support for the Connect Tech WhiteHEAT converter.
- Incremented the number of ports in expectation of getting the
- WhiteHEAT to work properly (4 ports per connection).
- Added notification on insertion and removal of what port the
- device is/was connected to (and what kind of device it was).
-
- version 0.2.2 (12/16/99) gkh
- Changed major number to the new allocated number. We're legal now!
-
- version 0.2.1 (12/14/99) gkh
- Fixed bug that happens when device node is opened when there isn't a
- device attached to it. Thanks to marek@webdesign.no for noticing this.
-
- version 0.2.0 (11/10/99) gkh
- Split up internals to make it easier to add different types of serial
- converters to the code.
- Added a "generic" driver that gets it's vendor and product id
- from when the module is loaded. Thanks to David E. Nelson (dnelson@jump.net)
- for the idea and sample code (from the usb scanner driver.)
- Cleared up any licensing questions by releasing it under the GNU GPL.
-
- version 0.1.2 (10/25/99) gkh
- Fixed bug in detecting device.
-
- version 0.1.1 (10/05/99) gkh
- Changed the major number to not conflict with anything else.
-
- version 0.1 (09/28/99) gkh
- Can recognize the two different devices and start up a read from
- device when asked to. Writes also work. No control signals yet, this
- all is vendor specific data (i.e. no spec), also no control for
- different baud rates or other bit settings.
- Currently we are using the same devid as the acm driver. This needs
- to change.
-

- (02/27/2002) gkh
- Reworked the urb handling logic. We have no more pool, but dynamically
- allocate the urb and the transfer buffer on the fly. In testing this
- does not incure any measurable overhead. This also relies on the fact
- that we have proper reference counting logic for urbs.
-
- (02/21/2002) SilaS

- (04/08/2001) gb
- Identify version on module load.
-
- (01/21/2000) gkh
- Added write_room and chars_in_buffer, as they were previously using the
- generic driver versions which is all wrong now that we are using an urb
- pool. Thanks to Wolfgang Grandegger for pointing this out to me.
- Removed count assignment in the write function, which was not needed anymore
- either. Thanks to Al Borchers for pointing this out.
-
- (12/12/2000) gkh
- Moved MOD_DEC to end of visor_close to be nicer, as the final write
- message can sleep.
-
- (11/12/2000) gkh
- Fixed bug with data being dropped on the floor by forcing tty->low_latency
- to be on. Hopefully this fixes the OHCI issue!
-
- (11/01/2000) Adam J. Richter
- usb_device_id table support
-
- (10/05/2000) gkh
- Fixed bug with urb->dev not being set properly, now that the usb
- core needs it.
-
- (09/11/2000) gkh
- Got rid of always calling kmalloc for every urb we wrote out to the
- device.
- Added visor_read_callback so we can keep track of bytes in and out for
- those people who like to know the speed of their device.
- Removed DEBUG #ifdefs with call to usb_serial_debug_data
-
- (09/06/2000) gkh
- Fixed oops in visor_exit. Need to uncomment usb_unlink_urb call _after_
- the host controller drivers set urb->dev = NULL when the urb is finished.
-
- (08/28/2000) gkh
- Added locks for SMP safeness.
-
- (08/08/2000) gkh
- Fixed endian problem in visor_startup.
- Fixed MOD_INC and MOD_DEC logic and the ability to open a port more
- than once.
-
- (07/23/2000) gkh
- Added pool of write urbs to speed up transfers to the visor.
-
- (07/19/2000) gkh
- Added module_init and module_exit functions to handle the fact that this
- driver is a loadable module now.
-
- (07/03/2000) gkh
- Added visor_set_ioctl and visor_set_termios functions (they don't do much
- of anything, but are good for debugging.)
-

- Fixed bug in visor_unthrottle that should help with the disconnect in PPP
- bug that people have been reporting.
-
- (06/23/2000) gkh

-* -- In digi_set_modem_signals the inner nested spin locks use just
-* spin_lock() rather than spin_lock_irqsave(). The old code

-* -- Close now waits for output to drain.
-* -- Open waits until any close in progress is finished.
-* -- All out of band responses are now processed, not just the
-* first in a USB packet.
-* -- Fixed a bug that prevented the driver from working when the
-* first Digi port was not the first USB serial port--the driver
-* was mistakenly using the external USB serial port number to
-* try to index into its internal ports.
-* -- Fixed an SMP bug -- write_bulk_callback is called directly from
-* an interrupt, so spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore are
-* needed for locks outside write_bulk_callback that are also
-* acquired by write_bulk_callback to prevent deadlocks.
-* -- Fixed support for select() by making digi_chars_in_buffer()
-* return 256 when -EINPROGRESS is set, as the line discipline
-* code in n_tty.c expects.
-* -- Fixed an include file ordering problem that prevented debugging
-* messages from working.
-* -- Fixed an intermittent timeout problem that caused writes to
-* sometimes get stuck on some machines on some kernels. It turns
-* out in these circumstances write_chan() (in n_tty.c) was
-* asleep waiting for our wakeup call. Even though we call
-* wake_up_interruptible() in digi_write_bulk_callback(), there is
-* a race condition that could cause the wakeup to fail: if our
-* wake_up_interruptible() call occurs between the time that our
-* driver write routine finishes and write_chan() sets current->state
-* to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE, the effect of our wakeup setting the state
-* to TASK_RUNNING will be lost and write_chan's subsequent call to
-* schedule() will never return (unless it catches a signal).
-* This race condition occurs because write_bulk_callback() (and thus
-* the wakeup) are called asynchronously from an interrupt, rather than
-* from the scheduler. We can avoid the race by calling the wakeup
-* from the scheduler queue and that's our fix: Now, at the end of
-* write_bulk_callback() we queue up a wakeup call on the scheduler
-* task queue. We still also invoke the wakeup directly since that
-* squeezes a bit more performance out of the driver, and any lost
-* race conditions will get cleaned up at the next scheduler run.
-*
-* NOTE: The problem also goes away if you comment out
-* the two code lines in write_chan() where current->state
-* is set to TASK_RUNNING just before calling driver.write() and to
-* TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE immediately afterwards. This is why the
-* problem did not show up with the 2.2 kernels -- they do not
-* include that code.
-*
-* (5/16/2000) pberger and borchers
-* -- Added timeouts to sleeps, to defend against lost wake ups.
-* -- Handle transition to/from B0 baud rate in digi_set_termios.

-* -- All commands now sent on out of band port, using
-* digi_write_oob_command.
-* -- Get modem control signals whenever they change, support TIOCMGET/
-* SET/BIS/BIC ioctls.

-* receive enable.
-* -- Cleaned up open and close, use digi_set_termios and
-* digi_write_oob_command to set port parameters.
-* -- Added digi_startup_device to start read chains on all ports.
-* -- Write buffer is only used when count==1, to be sure put_char can
-* write a char (unless the buffer is full).
-*
-* (5/10/2000) pberger and borchers
-* -- Added MOD_INC_USE_COUNT/MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT calls on open/close.
-* -- Fixed problem where the first incoming character is lost on
-* port opens after the first close on that port. Now we keep
-* the read_urb chain open until shutdown.
-* -- Added more port conditioning calls in digi_open and digi_close.
-* -- Convert port->active to a use count so that we can deal with multiple
-* opens and closes properly.
-* -- Fixed some problems with the locking code.
-*
-* (5/3/2000) pberger and borchers
-* -- First alpha version of the driver--many known limitations and bugs.
-*
-*
-* Locking and SMP
-*
-* - Each port, including the out-of-band port, has a lock used to
-* serialize all access to the port's private structure.
-* - The port lock is also used to serialize all writes and access to
-* the port's URB.
-* - The port lock is also used for the port write_wait condition
-* variable. Holding the port lock will prevent a wake up on the
-* port's write_wait; this can be used with cond_wait_... to be sure
-* the wake up is not lost in a race when dropping the lock and
-* sleeping waiting for the wakeup.
-* - digi_write() does not sleep, since it is sometimes called on
-* interrupt time.
-* - digi_write_bulk_callback() and digi_read_bulk_callback() are
-* called directly from interrupts. Hence spin_lock_irqsave()
-* and spin_unlock_irqrestore() are used in the rest of the code
-* for any locks they acquire.
-* - digi_write_bulk_callback() gets the port lock before waking up
-* processes sleeping on the port write_wait. It also schedules
-* wake ups so they happen from the scheduler, because the tty
-* system can miss wake ups from interrupts.
-* - All sleeps use a timeout of DIGI_RETRY_TIMEOUT before looping to
-* recheck the condition they are sleeping on. This is defensive,
-* in case a wake up is lost.
-* - Following Documentation/DocBook/kernel-locking.tmpl no spin locks
-* are held when calling copy_to/from_user or printk.

- Improve setup message handling for all devices.
-
- Wed Feb 19 22:00:00 PST 2003 (Jeffrey S. Laing <keyspan@jsl.com>)
- Merged the current (1/31/03) Keyspan code with the current (2.4.21-pre4)
- Linux source tree. The Linux tree lacked support for the 49WLC and
- others. The Keyspan patches didn't work with the current kernel.
-
- 2003jan30 LPM add support for the 49WLC and MPR
-
- Wed Apr 25 12:00:00 PST 2002 (Keyspan)
- Started with Hugh Blemings' code dated Jan 17, 2002. All adapters
- now supported (including QI and QW). Modified port open, port
- close, and send setup() logic to fix various data and endpoint
- synchronization bugs and device LED status bugs. Changed keyspan_
- write_room() to accurately return transmit buffer availability.
- Changed forwardingLength from 1 to 16 for all adapters.
-
- Fri Oct 12 16:45:00 EST 2001
- Preliminary USA-19QI and USA-28 support (both test OK for me, YMMV)

- Fixed bug that prevented mulitport devices operating correctly
- if they weren't the first unit attached.
-
- Sat Oct 6 12:31:21 EST 2001 hugh
- Added support for USA-28XA and -28XB, misc cleanups, break support
- for usa26 based models thanks to David Gibson.

- (04/08/2001) gb
- Identify version on module load.
-
- (11/01/2000) Adam J. Richter
- usb_device_id table support.

- Tue Oct 10 23:15:33 EST 2000 Hugh
- Merged Paul's changes with my USA-49W mods. Work in progress
- still...
-
- Wed Jul 19 14:00:42 EST 2000 gkh
- Added module_init and module_exit functions to handle the fact that
- this driver is a loadable module now.
-
- Tue Jul 18 16:14:52 EST 2000 Hugh
- Basic character input/output for USA-19 now mostly works,
- fixed at 9600 baud for the moment.
-
- Sat Jul 8 11:11:48 EST 2000 Hugh
- First public release - nothing works except the firmware upload.
- Tested on PPC and x86 architectures, seems to behave...
