[linux-usb-devel] Problem with Ali chipset M 5273
Hi, is there any known quirk with that Aliu chipset? I've gotten a report about random crashes of a drive enclosure with this controller that go away if a NEC controller is used.

The kern then calls the various drivers to see is the usb device belongs to it. Garmin_gps claims device. the driver module. garmin_gps for example, then has to deceide what to do. garmin_gps knows that now a device with an identical signature is back.

I think its more interesting on how the user would determine which ttyUSB? is driving which device. But back to your example. The user knows that there are 2 usb devices, and 2 ttyUSB? got created. Application, at startup knows that there are 2 ttyUSB's, as the application, at startup scanned /dev/ Now, all of a sudden, there are 3 ttyUSB's . I was thinking of changing the udev .conf file to recognize the garmin_gps devices as /dev/GPS%d .

He should have told it to go open ttyUSB1. Or better yet, to go look for any available ttyUSB* device and present a list of possible choices if there's more than one. Think about it. What would happen if you had 2 GPS devices and plugged them both in simultaneously? One would become ttyUSB0 and the other would become ttyUSB1. Now suppose you unplugged the ttyUSB0 device. How would you start up the application at this point? > I suppose one can ask about the resources allocated for a file that has > been opened, and someone else deletes file.

Unfortunately, tty device nodes are treated differently by the kernel from regular file nodes. I don't know why that is or what would be needed to change it; it might have to do with the inner workings of the tty subsystem -- with which I am completely unfamiliar.

I'm not familiar enough with either the tty subsystem or with the way the USB subsystem interacts with it to provide much help. What happens if you plug in the GPS device, unplug it (without running any programs), and then plug it back in again? Does it return as ttyUSB0, or does it become ttyUSB1 in spite of the fact that there is no more ttyUSB0? Different subsystems are inconsistent in the way they number devices. For example, the SCSI subsystem numbers host adapters in increasing order, always. The next host adapter gets the next number, even if some earlier numbers have become available again. By contrast, SCSI disks are assigned the first available disk letter, so if a disk is removed and then reconnected its letter will be reused.

Application opens ttyUSB0. Application processes data from ttyUSB0. Everybody happy, till someone yanks the USB cord so that the connection is broken. Kernel sees I/O error. Application program sees I/O error. Application program has no idea what happened. 5 seconds later tries to reestablish communications with device ( still gets I/O error ). /dev/ttyUSB0 still alive because the application still has it opened. Now User realises that the cable was unplugged. plugs it back in. Now there is a ttyUSB1, and an effectively a dead ttyUSB0. Even though the user has plugged in the USB device, the application still reports error. Application does not know or understand that the USB device is now connected to ttyUSB1. After some arbitrary while, application thinks the device is dead ( or user has told application so, presuming that user has any idea as to what happened ). Application closes FD channel. Now /dev/ttyUSB0 disappears. User says to application - go open ttyUSB0. Its plugged back in. its the only USB device. ttyUSB0 is not to be found ( under this scenario ). I suppose one can ask about the resources allocated for a file that has been opened, and someone else deletes file. The application still sees the file, but the rest of the world does not. a new file, with same name can be created which wont affect the deleted, but still present file. Once the deleted file is closed, those resources will be returned to their respective pools. Garmin_GPS, the device handler for the hockey puck GPS device, knows that the newly plugged in USB device is inder its wings. Does garmin_gps know that the device has disconnected? It certainly knows when the USB device gets connected. I suppose we can play mix & match for some time with when and how USB devices get connected and assigned /dev/ names. But if you cannot get garmin_gps to reconnect to ttyUSB0 when the device is unplugged ( but not closed) then maybe the special dev should be erased, and the internal names erased. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

The system has no way of knowing whether you plugged the same device back in or plugged in a different but similar device. So all new plug-in events are treated as new devices. Another way of thinking about it: Suppose an existing device entry was not removed (or least made inaccessible) when you unplugged the device -- the idea being that the existing entry could be reused if you plugged the device back in. Then if you never did plug it back in, the old entry would hang around indefinitely, using up resources for no good reason.

Evidently the hardware thinks a wakeup event has occurred. It is possible to disable remote wakeup via sysfs, but it would be more interesting to find out the real reason for the wakeup. I don't know how to go about doing that, however. It might be some interaction at the ACPI level, and it might involve the PCI PME# signal. Do you have any USB devices attached when you suspend? You can try using the patch below to see what happens when you manually suspend the controller. It enables PCI devices to respond to the legacy power/state attribute. You should look at what "lspci -vv" says about the controller's power management signals, both before and after suspending the PCI device entry. Maybe also see what ACPI reports.

The days of programs being able to blindly assume static device names are gone. Hotplug is upon us and it necessitates a different way of thinking, even in userspace. Apps need to be smart enough to re-enumerate compatible devices and pick one. Even if the kernel were to maintain the illusion of a static device name in the simple case, the app still needs smarts to handle the general case. And I say this as the maintainer of an app that is going thru exactly this evolution. It's painful, but necessary. --Adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits. Just data.

It appears that if u plug the USB/serial device back into the usb-hub, the code creates a /dev/ttyUSB1 ( if you have not yet closed the disconnected /dev/ttyUSB0. ) When you do close /dev/ttyUSB0, then the device is erased from the /dev directory. Now /dev/ttyUSB1 is the device. And /dev/ttyUSB0 disappeared. This does not seem proper. As now the program has no idea or capability to re-open the GPS device.

[linux-usb-devel] ehci_hcd causes box to resume immediately after suspend to RAM
Hi, One of my test boxes suspends to RAM just fine except that if ehci_hcd is loaded before the suspend, the box resumes immediately after going to sleep.

Re: [linux-usb-devel] Kernel 2.6.22-rc3 breaks USB: Unable to get HID descriptor (error sending control message: Operation not permitted)
I have looked into NUT source and it seems that this error message is output after interaction with libusb, not hiddev. It looks like libusb's usb_claim_interface() or usb_control_msg() in in 2.6.22-rc3 is failing with -EPERM. So I am adding USB devel mailinglist into CC and leaving the original message below for reference.
