As we're moving out of DocBook, let's convert the remaining
USB docbooks to ReST.
The transformation itself on this patch is a no-brainer
conversion using pandoc.

-<chapter id="intro"><title>Introduction</title>
-
-<para>This document presents a Linux-USB "Gadget"
-kernel mode
-API, for use within peripherals and other USB devices
-that embed Linux.
-It provides an overview of the API structure,
-and shows how that fits into a system development project.
-This is the first such API released on Linux to address
-a number of important problems, including: </para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>Supports USB 2.0, for high speed devices which
- can stream data at several dozen megabytes per second.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Handles devices with dozens of endpoints just as
- well as ones with just two fixed-function ones. Gadget drivers
- can be written so they're easy to port to new hardware.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Flexible enough to expose more complex USB device
- capabilities such as multiple configurations, multiple interfaces,
- composite devices,
- and alternate interface settings.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>USB "On-The-Go" (OTG) support, in conjunction
- with updates to the Linux-USB host side.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Sharing data structures and API models with the
- Linux-USB host side API. This helps the OTG support, and
- looks forward to more-symmetric frameworks (where the same
- I/O model is used by both host and device side drivers).
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Minimalist, so it's easier to support new device
- controller hardware. I/O processing doesn't imply large
- demands for memory or CPU resources.
- </para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-
-<para>Most Linux developers will not be able to use this API, since they
-have USB "host" hardware in a PC, workstation, or server.
-Linux users with embedded systems are more likely to
-have USB peripheral hardware.
-To distinguish drivers running inside such hardware from the
-more familiar Linux "USB device drivers",
-which are host side proxies for the real USB devices,
-a different term is used:
-the drivers inside the peripherals are "USB gadget drivers".
-In USB protocol interactions, the device driver is the master
-(or "client driver")
-and the gadget driver is the slave (or "function driver").
-</para>
-
-<para>The gadget API resembles the host side Linux-USB API in that both
-use queues of request objects to package I/O buffers, and those requests
-may be submitted or canceled.
-They share common definitions for the standard USB
-<emphasis>Chapter 9</emphasis> messages, structures, and constants.
-Also, both APIs bind and unbind drivers to devices.
-The APIs differ in detail, since the host side's current
-URB framework exposes a number of implementation details
-and assumptions that are inappropriate for a gadget API.
-While the model for control transfers and configuration
-management is necessarily different (one side is a hardware-neutral master,
-the other is a hardware-aware slave), the endpoint I/0 API used here
-should also be usable for an overhead-reduced host side API.
-</para>
-
-</chapter>
-
-<chapter id="structure"><title>Structure of Gadget Drivers</title>
-
-<para>A system running inside a USB peripheral
-normally has at least three layers inside the kernel to handle
-USB protocol processing, and may have additional layers in
-user space code.
-The "gadget" API is used by the middle layer to interact
-with the lowest level (which directly handles hardware).
-</para>
-
-<para>In Linux, from the bottom up, these layers are:
-</para>
-
-<variablelist>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><emphasis>USB Controller Driver</emphasis></term>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>This is the lowest software level.
- It is the only layer that talks to hardware,
- through registers, fifos, dma, irqs, and the like.
- The <filename><linux/usb/gadget.h></filename> API abstracts
- the peripheral controller endpoint hardware.
- That hardware is exposed through endpoint objects, which accept
- streams of IN/OUT buffers, and through callbacks that interact
- with gadget drivers.
- Since normal USB devices only have one upstream
- port, they only have one of these drivers.
- The controller driver can support any number of different
- gadget drivers, but only one of them can be used at a time.
- </para>
-
- <para>Examples of such controller hardware include
- the PCI-based NetChip 2280 USB 2.0 high speed controller,
- the SA-11x0 or PXA-25x UDC (found within many PDAs),
- and a variety of other products.
- </para>
-
- </listitem></varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><emphasis>Gadget Driver</emphasis></term>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>The lower boundary of this driver implements hardware-neutral
- USB functions, using calls to the controller driver.
- Because such hardware varies widely in capabilities and restrictions,
- and is used in embedded environments where space is at a premium,
- the gadget driver is often configured at compile time
- to work with endpoints supported by one particular controller.
- Gadget drivers may be portable to several different controllers,
- using conditional compilation.
- (Recent kernels substantially simplify the work involved in
- supporting new hardware, by <emphasis>autoconfiguring</emphasis>
- endpoints automatically for many bulk-oriented drivers.)
- Gadget driver responsibilities include:
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>handling setup requests (ep0 protocol responses)
- possibly including class-specific functionality
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>returning configuration and string descriptors
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>(re)setting configurations and interface
- altsettings, including enabling and configuring endpoints
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>handling life cycle events, such as managing
- bindings to hardware,
- USB suspend/resume, remote wakeup,
- and disconnection from the USB host.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>managing IN and OUT transfers on all currently
- enabled endpoints
- </para></listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
-
- <para>
- Such drivers may be modules of proprietary code, although
- that approach is discouraged in the Linux community.
- </para>
- </listitem></varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><emphasis>Upper Level</emphasis></term>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Most gadget drivers have an upper boundary that connects
- to some Linux driver or framework in Linux.
- Through that boundary flows the data which the gadget driver
- produces and/or consumes through protocol transfers over USB.
- Examples include:
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>user mode code, using generic (gadgetfs)
- or application specific files in
- <filename>/dev</filename>
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>networking subsystem (for network gadgets,
- like the CDC Ethernet Model gadget driver)
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>data capture drivers, perhaps video4Linux or
- a scanner driver; or test and measurement hardware.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>input subsystem (for HID gadgets)
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>sound subsystem (for audio gadgets)
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>file system (for PTP gadgets)
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>block i/o subsystem (for usb-storage gadgets)
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>... and more </para></listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- </listitem></varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><emphasis>Additional Layers</emphasis></term>
-
- <listitem>
- <para>Other layers may exist.
- These could include kernel layers, such as network protocol stacks,
- as well as user mode applications building on standard POSIX
- system call APIs such as
- <emphasis>open()</emphasis>, <emphasis>close()</emphasis>,
- <emphasis>read()</emphasis> and <emphasis>write()</emphasis>.
- On newer systems, POSIX Async I/O calls may be an option.
- Such user mode code will not necessarily be subject to
- the GNU General Public License (GPL).
- </para>
- </listitem></varlistentry>
-
-
-</variablelist>
-
-<para>OTG-capable systems will also need to include a standard Linux-USB
-host side stack,
-with <emphasis>usbcore</emphasis>,
-one or more <emphasis>Host Controller Drivers</emphasis> (HCDs),
-<emphasis>USB Device Drivers</emphasis> to support
-the OTG "Targeted Peripheral List",
-and so forth.
-There will also be an <emphasis>OTG Controller Driver</emphasis>,
-which is visible to gadget and device driver developers only indirectly.
-That helps the host and device side USB controllers implement the
-two new OTG protocols (HNP and SRP).
-Roles switch (host to peripheral, or vice versa) using HNP
-during USB suspend processing, and SRP can be viewed as a
-more battery-friendly kind of device wakeup protocol.
-</para>
-
-<para>Over time, reusable utilities are evolving to help make some
-gadget driver tasks simpler.
-For example, building configuration descriptors from vectors of
-descriptors for the configurations interfaces and endpoints is
-now automated, and many drivers now use autoconfiguration to
-choose hardware endpoints and initialize their descriptors.
-
-A potential example of particular interest
-is code implementing standard USB-IF protocols for
-HID, networking, storage, or audio classes.
-Some developers are interested in KDB or KGDB hooks, to let
-target hardware be remotely debugged.
-Most such USB protocol code doesn't need to be hardware-specific,
-any more than network protocols like X11, HTTP, or NFS are.
-Such gadget-side interface drivers should eventually be combined,
-to implement composite devices.
-</para>

-<chapter id="api"><title>Kernel Mode Gadget API</title>
-
-<para>Gadget drivers declare themselves through a
-<emphasis>struct usb_gadget_driver</emphasis>, which is responsible for
-most parts of enumeration for a <emphasis>struct usb_gadget</emphasis>.
-The response to a set_configuration usually involves
-enabling one or more of the <emphasis>struct usb_ep</emphasis> objects
-exposed by the gadget, and submitting one or more
-<emphasis>struct usb_request</emphasis> buffers to transfer data.
-Understand those four data types, and their operations, and
-you will understand how this API works.
-</para>
-
-<note><title>Incomplete Data Type Descriptions</title>
-
-<para>This documentation was prepared using the standard Linux
-kernel <filename>docproc</filename> tool, which turns text
-and in-code comments into SGML DocBook and then into usable
-formats such as HTML or PDF.
-Other than the "Chapter 9" data types, most of the significant
-data types and functions are described here.
-</para>
-
-<para>However, docproc does not understand all the C constructs
-that are used, so some relevant information is likely omitted from
-what you are reading.
-One example of such information is endpoint autoconfiguration.
-You'll have to read the header file, and use example source
-code (such as that for "Gadget Zero"), to fully understand the API.
-</para>
-
-<para>The part of the API implementing some basic
-driver capabilities is specific to the version of the
-Linux kernel that's in use.
-The 2.6 kernel includes a <emphasis>driver model</emphasis>
-framework that has no analogue on earlier kernels;
-so those parts of the gadget API are not fully portable.
-(They are implemented on 2.4 kernels, but in a different way.)
-The driver model state is another part of this API that is
-ignored by the kerneldoc tools.
-</para>
-</note>
-
-<para>The core API does not expose
-every possible hardware feature, only the most widely available ones.
-There are significant hardware features, such as device-to-device DMA
-(without temporary storage in a memory buffer)
-that would be added using hardware-specific APIs.
-</para>
-
-<para>This API allows drivers to use conditional compilation to handle
-endpoint capabilities of different hardware, but doesn't require that.
-Hardware tends to have arbitrary restrictions, relating to
-transfer types, addressing, packet sizes, buffering, and availability.
-As a rule, such differences only matter for "endpoint zero" logic
-that handles device configuration and management.
-The API supports limited run-time
-detection of capabilities, through naming conventions for endpoints.
-Many drivers will be able to at least partially autoconfigure
-themselves.
-In particular, driver init sections will often have endpoint
-autoconfiguration logic that scans the hardware's list of endpoints
-to find ones matching the driver requirements
-(relying on those conventions), to eliminate some of the most
-common reasons for conditional compilation.
-</para>
-
-<para>Like the Linux-USB host side API, this API exposes
-the "chunky" nature of USB messages: I/O requests are in terms
-of one or more "packets", and packet boundaries are visible to drivers.
-Compared to RS-232 serial protocols, USB resembles
-synchronous protocols like HDLC
-(N bytes per frame, multipoint addressing, host as the primary
-station and devices as secondary stations)
-more than asynchronous ones
-(tty style: 8 data bits per frame, no parity, one stop bit).
-So for example the controller drivers won't buffer
-two single byte writes into a single two-byte USB IN packet,
-although gadget drivers may do so when they implement
-protocols where packet boundaries (and "short packets")
-are not significant.
-</para>
-
-<sect1 id="lifecycle"><title>Driver Life Cycle</title>
-
-<para>Gadget drivers make endpoint I/O requests to hardware without
-needing to know many details of the hardware, but driver
-setup/configuration code needs to handle some differences.
-Use the API like this:
-</para>
-
-<orderedlist numeration='arabic'>
-
-<listitem><para>Register a driver for the particular device side
-usb controller hardware,
-such as the net2280 on PCI (USB 2.0),
-sa11x0 or pxa25x as found in Linux PDAs,
-and so on.
-At this point the device is logically in the USB ch9 initial state
-("attached"), drawing no power and not usable
-(since it does not yet support enumeration).
-Any host should not see the device, since it's not
-activated the data line pullup used by the host to
-detect a device, even if VBUS power is available.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Register a gadget driver that implements some higher level
-device function. That will then bind() to a usb_gadget, which
-activates the data line pullup sometime after detecting VBUS.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>The hardware driver can now start enumerating.
-The steps it handles are to accept USB power and set_address requests.
-Other steps are handled by the gadget driver.
-If the gadget driver module is unloaded before the host starts to
-enumerate, steps before step 7 are skipped.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>The gadget driver's setup() call returns usb descriptors,
-based both on what the bus interface hardware provides and on the
-functionality being implemented.
-That can involve alternate settings or configurations,
-unless the hardware prevents such operation.
-For OTG devices, each configuration descriptor includes
-an OTG descriptor.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>The gadget driver handles the last step of enumeration,
-when the USB host issues a set_configuration call.
-It enables all endpoints used in that configuration,
-with all interfaces in their default settings.
-That involves using a list of the hardware's endpoints, enabling each
-endpoint according to its descriptor.
-It may also involve using <function>usb_gadget_vbus_draw</function>
-to let more power be drawn from VBUS, as allowed by that configuration.
-For OTG devices, setting a configuration may also involve reporting
-HNP capabilities through a user interface.
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>Do real work and perform data transfers, possibly involving
-changes to interface settings or switching to new configurations, until the
-device is disconnect()ed from the host.
-Queue any number of transfer requests to each endpoint.
-It may be suspended and resumed several times before being disconnected.
-On disconnect, the drivers go back to step 3 (above).
-</para></listitem>
-
-<listitem><para>When the gadget driver module is being unloaded,
-the driver unbind() callback is issued. That lets the controller
-driver be unloaded.
-</para></listitem>
-
-</orderedlist>
-
-<para>Drivers will normally be arranged so that just loading the
-gadget driver module (or statically linking it into a Linux kernel)
-allows the peripheral device to be enumerated, but some drivers
-will defer enumeration until some higher level component (like
-a user mode daemon) enables it.
-Note that at this lowest level there are no policies about how
-ep0 configuration logic is implemented,
-except that it should obey USB specifications.
-Such issues are in the domain of gadget drivers,
-including knowing about implementation constraints
-imposed by some USB controllers
-or understanding that composite devices might happen to
-be built by integrating reusable components.
-</para>
-
-<para>Note that the lifecycle above can be slightly different
-for OTG devices.
-Other than providing an additional OTG descriptor in each
-configuration, only the HNP-related differences are particularly
-visible to driver code.
-They involve reporting requirements during the SET_CONFIGURATION
-request, and the option to invoke HNP during some suspend callbacks.
-Also, SRP changes the semantics of
-<function>usb_gadget_wakeup</function>
-slightly.

-
-<para>In addition to <emphasis>Gadget Zero</emphasis>
-(used primarily for testing and development with drivers
-for usb controller hardware), other gadget drivers exist.
-</para>
-
-<para>There's an <emphasis>ethernet</emphasis> gadget
-driver, which implements one of the most useful
-<emphasis>Communications Device Class</emphasis> (CDC) models.
-One of the standards for cable modem interoperability even
-specifies the use of this ethernet model as one of two
-mandatory options.
-Gadgets using this code look to a USB host as if they're
-an Ethernet adapter.
-It provides access to a network where the gadget's CPU is one host,
-which could easily be bridging, routing, or firewalling
-access to other networks.
-Since some hardware can't fully implement the CDC Ethernet
-requirements, this driver also implements a "good parts only"
-subset of CDC Ethernet.
-(That subset doesn't advertise itself as CDC Ethernet,
-to avoid creating problems.)
-</para>
-
-<para>Support for Microsoft's <emphasis>RNDIS</emphasis>
-protocol has been contributed by Pengutronix and Auerswald GmbH.
-This is like CDC Ethernet, but it runs on more slightly USB hardware
-(but less than the CDC subset).
-However, its main claim to fame is being able to connect directly to
-recent versions of Windows, using drivers that Microsoft bundles
-and supports, making it much simpler to network with Windows.
-</para>
-
-<para>There is also support for user mode gadget drivers,
-using <emphasis>gadgetfs</emphasis>.
-This provides a <emphasis>User Mode API</emphasis> that presents
-each endpoint as a single file descriptor. I/O is done using
-normal <emphasis>read()</emphasis> and <emphasis>read()</emphasis> calls.
-Familiar tools like GDB and pthreads can be used to
-develop and debug user mode drivers, so that once a robust
-controller driver is available many applications for it
-won't require new kernel mode software.
-Linux 2.6 <emphasis>Async I/O (AIO)</emphasis>
-support is available, so that user mode software
-can stream data with only slightly more overhead
-than a kernel driver.
-</para>
-
-<para>There's a USB Mass Storage class driver, which provides
-a different solution for interoperability with systems such
-as MS-Windows and MacOS.
-That <emphasis>Mass Storage</emphasis> driver uses a
-file or block device as backing store for a drive,
-like the <filename>loop</filename> driver.
-The USB host uses the BBB, CB, or CBI versions of the mass
-storage class specification, using transparent SCSI commands
-to access the data from the backing store.
-</para>
-
-<para>There's a "serial line" driver, useful for TTY style
-operation over USB.
-The latest version of that driver supports CDC ACM style
-operation, like a USB modem, and so on most hardware it can
-interoperate easily with MS-Windows.
-One interesting use of that driver is in boot firmware (like a BIOS),
-which can sometimes use that model with very small systems without
-real serial lines.
-</para>
-
-<para>Support for other kinds of gadget is expected to
-be developed and contributed
-over time, as this driver framework evolves.

-<chapter id="otg"><title>USB On-The-GO (OTG)</title>
-
-<para>USB OTG support on Linux 2.6 was initially developed
-by Texas Instruments for
-<ulink url="http://www.omap.com">OMAP</ulink> 16xx and 17xx
-series processors.
-Other OTG systems should work in similar ways, but the
-hardware level details could be very different.
-</para>
-
-<para>Systems need specialized hardware support to implement OTG,
-notably including a special <emphasis>Mini-AB</emphasis> jack
-and associated transceiver to support <emphasis>Dual-Role</emphasis>
-operation:
-they can act either as a host, using the standard
-Linux-USB host side driver stack,
-or as a peripheral, using this "gadget" framework.
-To do that, the system software relies on small additions
-to those programming interfaces,
-and on a new internal component (here called an "OTG Controller")
-affecting which driver stack connects to the OTG port.
-In each role, the system can re-use the existing pool of
-hardware-neutral drivers, layered on top of the controller
-driver interfaces (<emphasis>usb_bus</emphasis> or
-<emphasis>usb_gadget</emphasis>).
-Such drivers need at most minor changes, and most of the calls
-added to support OTG can also benefit non-OTG products.
-</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>

- <listitem><para>Gadget drivers may need changes to support the

- such as <emphasis>b_hnp_enable</emphasis> flag.
- HNP support should be reported through a user interface

- when the host suspends the peripheral.
- SRP support can be user-initiated just like remote wakeup,
- probably by pressing the same button.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>On the host side, USB device drivers need

- That also conserves battery power, which is useful even
- for non-OTG configurations.
- </para></listitem>
- <listitem><para>Also on the host side, a driver must support the
- OTG "Targeted Peripheral List". That's just a whitelist,

- Linux OTG host.
- <emphasis>This whitelist is product-specific;

- to match its interoperability specification.
- </emphasis>
- </para>
- <para>Non-OTG Linux hosts, like PCs and workstations,

- unrealistic to expect traditional PC/workstation/server kinds

- For example, it's often impractical to change device firmware
- once the product has been distributed, so driver bugs can't
- normally be fixed if they're found after shipment.
- </para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>
-Additional changes are needed below those hardware-neutral
-<emphasis>usb_bus</emphasis> and <emphasis>usb_gadget</emphasis>
-driver interfaces; those aren't discussed here in any detail.
-Those affect the hardware-specific code for each USB Host or Peripheral
-controller, and how the HCD initializes (since OTG can be active only
-on a single port).
-They also involve what may be called an <emphasis>OTG Controller
-Driver</emphasis>, managing the OTG transceiver and the OTG state
-machine logic as well as much of the root hub behavior for the
-OTG port.
-The OTG controller driver needs to activate and deactivate USB
-controllers depending on the relevant device role.
-Some related changes were needed inside usbcore, so that it
-can identify OTG-capable devices and respond appropriately
-to HNP or SRP protocols.

- <para>
- The Linux MUSB subsystem is part of the larger Linux USB
- subsystem. It provides support for embedded USB Device Controllers
- (UDC) that do not use Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI)
- or Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI).
- </para>
- <para>
- Instead, these embedded UDC rely on the USB On-the-Go (OTG)
- specification which they implement at least partially. The silicon
- reference design used in most cases is the Multipoint USB
- Highspeed Dual-Role Controller (MUSB HDRC) found in the Mentor
- Graphics Inventra™ design.

- <para>
- As a self-taught exercise I have written an MUSB glue layer for
- the Ingenic JZ4740 SoC, modelled after the many MUSB glue layers
- in the kernel source tree. This layer can be found at
- drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c. In this documentation I will walk
- through the basics of the jz4740.c glue layer, explaining the
- different pieces and what needs to be done in order to write your
- own device glue layer.

- <title>Linux MUSB Basics</title>
- <para>
- To get started on the topic, please read USB On-the-Go Basics (see
- Resources) which provides an introduction of USB OTG operation at
- the hardware level. A couple of wiki pages by Texas Instruments
- and Analog Devices also provide an overview of the Linux kernel
- MUSB configuration, albeit focused on some specific devices
- provided by these companies. Finally, getting acquainted with the
- USB specification at USB home page may come in handy, with
- practical instance provided through the Writing USB Device Drivers
- documentation (again, see Resources).
- </para>
- <para>
- Linux USB stack is a layered architecture in which the MUSB
- controller hardware sits at the lowest. The MUSB controller driver
- abstract the MUSB controller hardware to the Linux USB stack.

- ---------------------------------
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- As outlined above, the glue layer is actually the platform
- specific code sitting in between the controller driver and the
- controller hardware.
- </para>
- <para>
- Just like a Linux USB driver needs to register itself with the
- Linux USB subsystem, the MUSB glue layer needs first to register
- itself with the MUSB controller driver. This will allow the
- controller driver to know about which device the glue layer
- supports and which functions to call when a supported device is
- detected or released; remember we are talking about an embedded
- controller chip here, so no insertion or removal at run-time.
- </para>
- <para>
- All of this information is passed to the MUSB controller driver
- through a platform_driver structure defined in the glue layer as:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static struct platform_driver jz4740_driver = {
- .probe = jz4740_probe,
- .remove = jz4740_remove,
- .driver = {
- .name = "musb-jz4740",
- },
-};
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The probe and remove function pointers are called when a matching
- device is detected and, respectively, released. The name string
- describes the device supported by this glue layer. In the current
- case it matches a platform_device structure declared in
- arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c. Note that we are not using device
- tree bindings here.
- </para>
- <para>
- In order to register itself to the controller driver, the glue
- layer goes through a few steps, basically allocating the
- controller hardware resources and initialising a couple of
- circuits. To do so, it needs to keep track of the information used
- throughout these steps. This is done by defining a private
- jz4740_glue structure:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-struct jz4740_glue {
- struct device *dev;
- struct platform_device *musb;
- struct clk *clk;
-};
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The dev and musb members are both device structure variables. The
- first one holds generic information about the device, since it's
- the basic device structure, and the latter holds information more
- closely related to the subsystem the device is registered to. The
- clk variable keeps information related to the device clock
- operation.
- </para>
- <para>
- Let's go through the steps of the probe function that leads the
- glue layer to register itself to the controller driver.
- </para>
- <para>
- N.B.: For the sake of readability each function will be split in
- logical parts, each part being shown as if it was independent from
- the others.
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
-{
- struct platform_device *musb;
- struct jz4740_glue *glue;
- struct clk *clk;
- int ret;
-
- glue = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*glue), GFP_KERNEL);
- if (!glue)
- return -ENOMEM;
-
- musb = platform_device_alloc("musb-hdrc", PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO);
- if (!musb) {
- dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate musb device\n");
- return -ENOMEM;
- }
-
- clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "udc");
- if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
- dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get clock\n");
- ret = PTR_ERR(clk);
- goto err_platform_device_put;

-
- return 0;
-
-err_platform_device_put:
- platform_device_put(musb);
- return ret;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The first few lines of the probe function allocate and assign the
- glue, musb and clk variables. The GFP_KERNEL flag (line 8) allows
- the allocation process to sleep and wait for memory, thus being
- usable in a blocking situation. The PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO flag (line
- 12) allows automatic allocation and management of device IDs in
- order to avoid device namespace collisions with explicit IDs. With
- devm_clk_get() (line 18) the glue layer allocates the clock -- the
- <literal>devm_</literal> prefix indicates that clk_get() is
- managed: it automatically frees the allocated clock resource data
- when the device is released -- and enable it.
- </para>
- <para>
- Then comes the registration steps:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
-{
- struct musb_hdrc_platform_data *pdata = &jz4740_musb_platform_data;
-
- pdata->platform_ops = &jz4740_musb_ops;
-
- platform_set_drvdata(pdev, glue);
-
- ret = platform_device_add_resources(musb, pdev->resource,
- pdev->num_resources);
- if (ret) {
- dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add resources\n");
- goto err_clk_disable;
- }
-
- ret = platform_device_add_data(musb, pdata, sizeof(*pdata));
- if (ret) {
- dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add platform_data\n");
- goto err_clk_disable;
- }
-
- return 0;
-
-err_clk_disable:
- clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
-err_platform_device_put:
- platform_device_put(musb);
- return ret;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The first step is to pass the device data privately held by the
- glue layer on to the controller driver through
- platform_set_drvdata() (line 7). Next is passing on the device
- resources information, also privately held at that point, through
- platform_device_add_resources() (line 9).
- </para>
- <para>
- Finally comes passing on the platform specific data to the
- controller driver (line 16). Platform data will be discussed in
- <link linkend="device-platform-data">Chapter 4</link>, but here
- we are looking at the platform_ops function pointer (line 5) in
- musb_hdrc_platform_data structure (line 3). This function
- pointer allows the MUSB controller driver to know which function
- to call for device operation:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static const struct musb_platform_ops jz4740_musb_ops = {
- .init = jz4740_musb_init,
- .exit = jz4740_musb_exit,
-};
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- Here we have the minimal case where only init and exit functions
- are called by the controller driver when needed. Fact is the
- JZ4740 MUSB controller is a basic controller, lacking some
- features found in other controllers, otherwise we may also have
- pointers to a few other functions like a power management function
- or a function to switch between OTG and non-OTG modes, for
- instance.
- </para>
- <para>
- At that point of the registration process, the controller driver
- actually calls the init function:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
-{
- musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
- if (!musb->xceiv) {
- pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n");
- return -ENODEV;
- }
-
- /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register.
- * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware.
- */
- musb->dyn_fifo = true;
-
- musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
-
- return 0;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The goal of jz4740_musb_init() is to get hold of the transceiver
- driver data of the MUSB controller hardware and pass it on to the
- MUSB controller driver, as usual. The transceiver is the circuitry
- inside the controller hardware responsible for sending/receiving
- the USB data. Since it is an implementation of the physical layer
- of the OSI model, the transceiver is also referred to as PHY.
- </para>
- <para>
- Getting hold of the MUSB PHY driver data is done with
- usb_get_phy() which returns a pointer to the structure
- containing the driver instance data. The next couple of
- instructions (line 12 and 14) are used as a quirk and to setup
- IRQ handling respectively. Quirks and IRQ handling will be
- discussed later in <link linkend="device-quirks">Chapter
- 5</link> and <link linkend="handling-irqs">Chapter 3</link>.
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static int jz4740_musb_exit(struct musb *musb)
-{
- usb_put_phy(musb->xceiv);
-
- return 0;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- Acting as the counterpart of init, the exit function releases the
- MUSB PHY driver when the controller hardware itself is about to be
- released.
- </para>
- <para>
- Again, note that init and exit are fairly simple in this case due
- to the basic set of features of the JZ4740 controller hardware.
- When writing an musb glue layer for a more complex controller
- hardware, you might need to take care of more processing in those
- two functions.
- </para>
- <para>
- Returning from the init function, the MUSB controller driver jumps
- back into the probe function:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
-{

-
-err_clk_disable:
- clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
-err_platform_device_put:
- platform_device_put(musb);
- return ret;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- This is the last part of the device registration process where the
- glue layer adds the controller hardware device to Linux kernel
- device hierarchy: at this stage, all known information about the
- device is passed on to the Linux USB core stack.
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static int jz4740_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
-{

-
- platform_device_unregister(glue->musb);
- clk_disable_unprepare(glue->clk);
-
- return 0;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- Acting as the counterpart of probe, the remove function unregister
- the MUSB controller hardware (line 5) and disable the clock (line
- 6), allowing it to be gated.
- </para>
- </chapter>
-
- <chapter id="handling-irqs">
- <title>Handling IRQs</title>
- <para>
- Additionally to the MUSB controller hardware basic setup and
- registration, the glue layer is also responsible for handling the
- IRQs:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci)

- MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF;
-

- retval = musb_interrupt(musb);
-
- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags);
-
- return retval;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- Here the glue layer mostly has to read the relevant hardware
- registers and pass their values on to the controller driver which
- will handle the actual event that triggered the IRQ.
- </para>
- <para>
- The interrupt handler critical section is protected by the
- spin_lock_irqsave() and counterpart spin_unlock_irqrestore()
- functions (line 7 and 24 respectively), which prevent the
- interrupt handler code to be run by two different threads at the
- same time.
- </para>
- <para>
- Then the relevant interrupt registers are read (line 9 to 11):
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- MUSB_INTRUSB: indicates which USB interrupts are currently
- active,
- </para>
- </listitem>

- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- MUSB_INTRRX: indicates which of the interrupts for TX
- endpoints are currently active.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- <para>
- Note that musb_readb() is used to read 8-bit registers at most,
- while musb_readw() allows us to read at most 16-bit registers.
- There are other functions that can be used depending on the size
- of your device registers. See musb_io.h for more information.
- </para>
- <para>
- Instruction on line 18 is another quirk specific to the JZ4740
- USB device controller, which will be discussed later in <link
- linkend="device-quirks">Chapter 5</link>.
- </para>
- <para>
- The glue layer still needs to register the IRQ handler though.
- Remember the instruction on line 14 of the init function:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
-{
- musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
-
- return 0;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- This instruction sets a pointer to the glue layer IRQ handler
- function, in order for the controller hardware to call the handler
- back when an IRQ comes from the controller hardware. The interrupt
- handler is now implemented and registered.
- </para>
- </chapter>
-
- <chapter id="device-platform-data">
- <title>Device Platform Data</title>
- <para>
- In order to write an MUSB glue layer, you need to have some data

- Here is the part of arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c that covers the

-struct platform_device jz4740_udc_device = {

- .dev = {
- .dma_mask = &jz4740_udc_device.dev.coherent_dma_mask,
- .coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32),
- },

-};
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The jz4740_udc_xceiv_device platform device structure (line 2)
- describes the UDC transceiver with a name and id number.
- </para>
- <para>
- At the time of this writing, note that
- "usb_phy_gen_xceiv" is the specific name to be used for
- all transceivers that are either built-in with reference USB IP or
- autonomous and doesn't require any PHY programming. You will need
- to set CONFIG_NOP_USB_XCEIV=y in the kernel configuration to make
- use of the corresponding transceiver driver. The id field could be
- set to -1 (equivalent to PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE), -2 (equivalent to
- PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO) or start with 0 for the first device of this
- kind if we want a specific id number.
- </para>
- <para>
- The jz4740_udc_resources resource structure (line 7) defines the
- UDC registers base addresses.
- </para>
- <para>
- The first array (line 9 to 11) defines the UDC registers base
- memory addresses: start points to the first register memory
- address, end points to the last register memory address and the
- flags member defines the type of resource we are dealing with. So
- IORESOURCE_MEM is used to define the registers memory addresses.
- The second array (line 14 to 17) defines the UDC IRQ registers
- addresses. Since there is only one IRQ register available for the
- JZ4740 UDC, start and end point at the same address. The
- IORESOURCE_IRQ flag tells that we are dealing with IRQ resources,
- and the name "mc" is in fact hard-coded in the MUSB core
- in order for the controller driver to retrieve this IRQ resource
- by querying it by its name.
- </para>
- <para>
- Finally, the jz4740_udc_device platform device structure (line 21)
- describes the UDC itself.
- </para>
- <para>
- The "musb-jz4740" name (line 22) defines the MUSB
- driver that is used for this device; remember this is in fact
- the name that we used in the jz4740_driver platform driver
- structure in <link linkend="linux-musb-basics">Chapter
- 2</link>. The id field (line 23) is set to -1 (equivalent to
- PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE) since we do not need an id for the device:
- the MUSB controller driver was already set to allocate an
- automatic id in <link linkend="linux-musb-basics">Chapter
- 2</link>. In the dev field we care for DMA related information
- here. The dma_mask field (line 25) defines the width of the DMA
- mask that is going to be used, and coherent_dma_mask (line 26)
- has the same purpose but for the alloc_coherent DMA mappings: in
- both cases we are using a 32 bits mask. Then the resource field
- (line 29) is simply a pointer to the resource structure defined
- before, while the num_resources field (line 28) keeps track of
- the number of arrays defined in the resource structure (in this
- case there were two resource arrays defined before).
- </para>
- <para>
- With this quick overview of the UDC platform data at the arch/
- level now done, let's get back to the MUSB glue layer specific
- platform data in drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static struct musb_hdrc_config jz4740_musb_config = {
- /* Silicon does not implement USB OTG. */
- .multipoint = 0,
- /* Max EPs scanned, driver will decide which EP can be used. */
- .num_eps = 4,
- /* RAMbits needed to configure EPs from table */
- .ram_bits = 9,
- .fifo_cfg = jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg,
- .fifo_cfg_size = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg),

-
-static struct musb_hdrc_platform_data jz4740_musb_platform_data = {
- .mode = MUSB_PERIPHERAL,
- .config = &jz4740_musb_config,
-};
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- First the glue layer configures some aspects of the controller
- driver operation related to the controller hardware specifics.
- This is done through the jz4740_musb_config musb_hdrc_config
- structure.
- </para>
- <para>
- Defining the OTG capability of the controller hardware, the
- multipoint member (line 3) is set to 0 (equivalent to false)
- since the JZ4740 UDC is not OTG compatible. Then num_eps (line
- 5) defines the number of USB endpoints of the controller
- hardware, including endpoint 0: here we have 3 endpoints +
- endpoint 0. Next is ram_bits (line 7) which is the width of the
- RAM address bus for the MUSB controller hardware. This
- information is needed when the controller driver cannot
- automatically configure endpoints by reading the relevant
- controller hardware registers. This issue will be discussed when
- we get to device quirks in <link linkend="device-quirks">Chapter
- 5</link>. Last two fields (line 8 and 9) are also about device
- quirks: fifo_cfg points to the USB endpoints configuration table
- and fifo_cfg_size keeps track of the size of the number of
- entries in that configuration table. More on that later in <link
- linkend="device-quirks">Chapter 5</link>.
- </para>
- <para>
- Then this configuration is embedded inside
- jz4740_musb_platform_data musb_hdrc_platform_data structure (line
- 11): config is a pointer to the configuration structure itself,
- and mode tells the controller driver if the controller hardware
- may be used as MUSB_HOST only, MUSB_PERIPHERAL only or MUSB_OTG
- which is a dual mode.
- </para>
- <para>
- Remember that jz4740_musb_platform_data is then used to convey
- platform data information as we have seen in the probe function
- in <link linkend="linux-musb-basics">Chapter 2</link>

- <para>
- Completing the platform data specific to your device, you may also
- need to write some code in the glue layer to work around some
- device specific limitations. These quirks may be due to some
- hardware bugs, or simply be the result of an incomplete
- implementation of the USB On-the-Go specification.
- </para>
- <para>
- The JZ4740 UDC exhibits such quirks, some of which we will discuss

- <para>
- Let's get back to the init function first:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">

-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- Instruction on line 12 helps the MUSB controller driver to work
- around the fact that the controller hardware is missing registers
- that are used for USB endpoints configuration.
- </para>
- <para>
- Without these registers, the controller driver is unable to read
- the endpoints configuration from the hardware, so we use line 12
- instruction to bypass reading the configuration from silicon, and
- rely on a hard-coded table that describes the endpoints
- configuration instead:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">
-static struct musb_fifo_cfg jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg[] = {
-{ .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 512, },

-{ .hw_ep_num = 2, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 64, },
-};
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- Looking at the configuration table above, we see that each
- endpoints is described by three fields: hw_ep_num is the endpoint
- number, style is its direction (either FIFO_TX for the controller
- driver to send packets in the controller hardware, or FIFO_RX to
- receive packets from hardware), and maxpacket defines the maximum
- size of each data packet that can be transmitted over that
- endpoint. Reading from the table, the controller driver knows that
- endpoint 1 can be used to send and receive USB data packets of 512
- bytes at once (this is in fact a bulk in/out endpoint), and
- endpoint 2 can be used to send data packets of 64 bytes at once
- (this is in fact an interrupt endpoint).
- </para>
- <para>
- Note that there is no information about endpoint 0 here: that one
- is implemented by default in every silicon design, with a
- predefined configuration according to the USB specification. For
- more examples of endpoint configuration tables, see musb_core.c.
- </para>
- <para>
- Let's now get back to the interrupt handler function:
- </para>
- <programlisting linenumbering="numbered">

- return retval;
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- Instruction on line 18 above is a way for the controller driver to
- work around the fact that some interrupt bits used for USB host
- mode operation are missing in the MUSB_INTRUSB register, thus left
- in an undefined hardware state, since this MUSB controller
- hardware is used in peripheral mode only. As a consequence, the
- glue layer masks these missing bits out to avoid parasite
- interrupts by doing a logical AND operation between the value read
- from MUSB_INTRUSB and the bits that are actually implemented in
- the register.
- </para>
- <para>
- These are only a couple of the quirks found in the JZ4740 USB
- device controller. Some others were directly addressed in the MUSB
- core since the fixes were generic enough to provide a better
- handling of the issues for others controller hardware eventually.

- <title>Introduction</title>
- <para>
- The Linux USB subsystem has grown from supporting only two different
- types of devices in the 2.2.7 kernel (mice and keyboards), to over 20
- different types of devices in the 2.4 kernel. Linux currently supports
- almost all USB class devices (standard types of devices like keyboards,
- mice, modems, printers and speakers) and an ever-growing number of
- vendor-specific devices (such as USB to serial converters, digital
- cameras, Ethernet devices and MP3 players). For a full list of the
- different USB devices currently supported, see Resources.
- </para>
- <para>
- The remaining kinds of USB devices that do not have support on Linux are
- almost all vendor-specific devices. Each vendor decides to implement a
- custom protocol to talk to their device, so a custom driver usually needs
- to be created. Some vendors are open with their USB protocols and help
- with the creation of Linux drivers, while others do not publish them, and
- developers are forced to reverse-engineer. See Resources for some links
- to handy reverse-engineering tools.
- </para>
- <para>
- Because each different protocol causes a new driver to be created, I have
- written a generic USB driver skeleton, modelled after the pci-skeleton.c
- file in the kernel source tree upon which many PCI network drivers have
- been based. This USB skeleton can be found at drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c
- in the kernel source tree. In this article I will walk through the basics
- of the skeleton driver, explaining the different pieces and what needs to
- be done to customize it to your specific device.
- </para>
- </chapter>
-
- <chapter id="basics">
- <title>Linux USB Basics</title>
- <para>
- If you are going to write a Linux USB driver, please become familiar with
- the USB protocol specification. It can be found, along with many other
- useful documents, at the USB home page (see Resources). An excellent
- introduction to the Linux USB subsystem can be found at the USB Working
- Devices List (see Resources). It explains how the Linux USB subsystem is
- structured and introduces the reader to the concept of USB urbs
- (USB Request Blocks), which are essential to USB drivers.
- </para>
- <para>
- The first thing a Linux USB driver needs to do is register itself with
- the Linux USB subsystem, giving it some information about which devices
- the driver supports and which functions to call when a device supported
- by the driver is inserted or removed from the system. All of this
- information is passed to the USB subsystem in the usb_driver structure.
- The skeleton driver declares a usb_driver as:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-static struct usb_driver skel_driver = {
- .name = "skeleton",
- .probe = skel_probe,
- .disconnect = skel_disconnect,
- .fops = &skel_fops,
- .minor = USB_SKEL_MINOR_BASE,
- .id_table = skel_table,
-};
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The variable name is a string that describes the driver. It is used in
- informational messages printed to the system log. The probe and
- disconnect function pointers are called when a device that matches the
- information provided in the id_table variable is either seen or removed.
- </para>
- <para>
- The fops and minor variables are optional. Most USB drivers hook into
- another kernel subsystem, such as the SCSI, network or TTY subsystem.
- These types of drivers register themselves with the other kernel
- subsystem, and any user-space interactions are provided through that
- interface. But for drivers that do not have a matching kernel subsystem,
- such as MP3 players or scanners, a method of interacting with user space
- is needed. The USB subsystem provides a way to register a minor device
- number and a set of file_operations function pointers that enable this
- user-space interaction. The skeleton driver needs this kind of interface,
- so it provides a minor starting number and a pointer to its
- file_operations functions.
- </para>
- <para>
- The USB driver is then registered with a call to usb_register, usually in
- the driver's init function, as shown here:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-static int __init usb_skel_init(void)
-{
- int result;
-
- /* register this driver with the USB subsystem */
- result = usb_register(&skel_driver);
- if (result < 0) {
- err("usb_register failed for the "__FILE__ "driver."
- "Error number %d", result);
- return -1;
- }
-
- return 0;
-}
-module_init(usb_skel_init);
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- When the driver is unloaded from the system, it needs to deregister
- itself with the USB subsystem. This is done with the usb_deregister
- function:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-static void __exit usb_skel_exit(void)
-{
- /* deregister this driver with the USB subsystem */
- usb_deregister(&skel_driver);
-}
-module_exit(usb_skel_exit);
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- To enable the linux-hotplug system to load the driver automatically when
- the device is plugged in, you need to create a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE. The
- following code tells the hotplug scripts that this module supports a
- single device with a specific vendor and product ID:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-/* table of devices that work with this driver */
-static struct usb_device_id skel_table [] = {
- { USB_DEVICE(USB_SKEL_VENDOR_ID, USB_SKEL_PRODUCT_ID) },
- { } /* Terminating entry */
-};
-MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE (usb, skel_table);
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- There are other macros that can be used in describing a usb_device_id for
- drivers that support a whole class of USB drivers. See usb.h for more
- information on this.
- </para>
- </chapter>
-
- <chapter id="device">
- <title>Device operation</title>
- <para>
- When a device is plugged into the USB bus that matches the device ID
- pattern that your driver registered with the USB core, the probe function
- is called. The usb_device structure, interface number and the interface ID
- are passed to the function:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface,
- const struct usb_device_id *id)
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- The driver now needs to verify that this device is actually one that it
- can accept. If so, it returns 0.
- If not, or if any error occurs during initialization, an errorcode
- (such as <literal>-ENOMEM</literal> or <literal>-ENODEV</literal>)
- is returned from the probe function.
- </para>
- <para>
- In the skeleton driver, we determine what end points are marked as bulk-in
- and bulk-out. We create buffers to hold the data that will be sent and
- received from the device, and a USB urb to write data to the device is
- initialized.
- </para>
- <para>
- Conversely, when the device is removed from the USB bus, the disconnect
- function is called with the device pointer. The driver needs to clean any
- private data that has been allocated at this time and to shut down any
- pending urbs that are in the USB system.
- </para>
- <para>
- Now that the device is plugged into the system and the driver is bound to
- the device, any of the functions in the file_operations structure that
- were passed to the USB subsystem will be called from a user program trying
- to talk to the device. The first function called will be open, as the
- program tries to open the device for I/O. We increment our private usage
- count and save a pointer to our internal structure in the file
- structure. This is done so that future calls to file operations will
- enable the driver to determine which device the user is addressing. All
- of this is done with the following code:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-/* increment our usage count for the module */
-++skel->open_count;
-
-/* save our object in the file's private structure */
-file->private_data = dev;
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- After the open function is called, the read and write functions are called
- to receive and send data to the device. In the skel_write function, we
- receive a pointer to some data that the user wants to send to the device
- and the size of the data. The function determines how much data it can
- send to the device based on the size of the write urb it has created (this
- size depends on the size of the bulk out end point that the device has).
- Then it copies the data from user space to kernel space, points the urb to
- the data and submits the urb to the USB subsystem. This can be seen in
- the following code:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-/* we can only write as much as 1 urb will hold */
-bytes_written = (count > skel->bulk_out_size) ? skel->bulk_out_size : count;
-
-/* copy the data from user space into our urb */
-copy_from_user(skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, buffer, bytes_written);
-
-/* set up our urb */
-usb_fill_bulk_urb(skel->write_urb,
- skel->dev,
- usb_sndbulkpipe(skel->dev, skel->bulk_out_endpointAddr),
- skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer,
- bytes_written,
- skel_write_bulk_callback,
- skel);
-
-/* send the data out the bulk port */
-result = usb_submit_urb(skel->write_urb);
-if (result) {
- err("Failed submitting write urb, error %d", result);
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- When the write urb is filled up with the proper information using the
- usb_fill_bulk_urb function, we point the urb's completion callback to call our
- own skel_write_bulk_callback function. This function is called when the
- urb is finished by the USB subsystem. The callback function is called in
- interrupt context, so caution must be taken not to do very much processing
- at that time. Our implementation of skel_write_bulk_callback merely
- reports if the urb was completed successfully or not and then returns.
- </para>
- <para>
- The read function works a bit differently from the write function in that
- we do not use an urb to transfer data from the device to the driver.
- Instead we call the usb_bulk_msg function, which can be used to send or
- receive data from a device without having to create urbs and handle
- urb completion callback functions. We call the usb_bulk_msg function,
- giving it a buffer into which to place any data received from the device
- and a timeout value. If the timeout period expires without receiving any
- data from the device, the function will fail and return an error message.
- This can be shown with the following code:
- </para>
- <programlisting>
-/* do an immediate bulk read to get data from the device */

- The usb_bulk_msg function can be very useful for doing single reads or

- When the user program releases the file handle that it has been using to

- <para>
- One of the more difficult problems that USB drivers must be able to handle
- smoothly is the fact that the USB device may be removed from the system at
- any point in time, even if a program is currently talking to it. It needs
- to be able to shut down any current reads and writes and notify the
- user-space programs that the device is no longer there. The following
- code (function <function>skel_delete</function>)
- is an example of how to do this: </para>
- <programlisting>
-static inline void skel_delete (struct usb_skel *dev)
-{
- kfree (dev->bulk_in_buffer);
- if (dev->bulk_out_buffer != NULL)
- usb_free_coherent (dev->udev, dev->bulk_out_size,
- dev->bulk_out_buffer,
- dev->write_urb->transfer_dma);
- usb_free_urb (dev->write_urb);
- kfree (dev);
-}
- </programlisting>
- <para>
- If a program currently has an open handle to the device, we reset the flag
- <literal>device_present</literal>. For
- every read, write, release and other functions that expect a device to be
- present, the driver first checks this flag to see if the device is
- still present. If not, it releases that the device has disappeared, and a
- -ENODEV error is returned to the user-space program. When the release
- function is eventually called, it determines if there is no device
- and if not, it does the cleanup that the skel_disconnect
- function normally does if there are no open files on the device (see
- Listing 5).

+Introduction
+============
+
+This document presents a Linux-USB "Gadget" kernel mode API, for use
+within peripherals and other USB devices that embed Linux. It provides
+an overview of the API structure, and shows how that fits into a system
+development project. This is the first such API released on Linux to
+address a number of important problems, including:
+
+- Supports USB 2.0, for high speed devices which can stream data at
+ several dozen megabytes per second.
+
+- Handles devices with dozens of endpoints just as well as ones with
+ just two fixed-function ones. Gadget drivers can be written so
+ they're easy to port to new hardware.
+
+- Flexible enough to expose more complex USB device capabilities such
+ as multiple configurations, multiple interfaces, composite devices,
+ and alternate interface settings.
+
+- USB "On-The-Go" (OTG) support, in conjunction with updates to the
+ Linux-USB host side.
+
+- Sharing data structures and API models with the Linux-USB host side
+ API. This helps the OTG support, and looks forward to more-symmetric
+ frameworks (where the same I/O model is used by both host and device
+ side drivers).
+
+- Minimalist, so it's easier to support new device controller hardware.
+ I/O processing doesn't imply large demands for memory or CPU
+ resources.
+
+Most Linux developers will not be able to use this API, since they have
+USB "host" hardware in a PC, workstation, or server. Linux users with
+embedded systems are more likely to have USB peripheral hardware. To
+distinguish drivers running inside such hardware from the more familiar
+Linux "USB device drivers", which are host side proxies for the real USB
+devices, a different term is used: the drivers inside the peripherals
+are "USB gadget drivers". In USB protocol interactions, the device
+driver is the master (or "client driver") and the gadget driver is the
+slave (or "function driver").
+
+The gadget API resembles the host side Linux-USB API in that both use
+queues of request objects to package I/O buffers, and those requests may
+be submitted or canceled. They share common definitions for the standard
+USB *Chapter 9* messages, structures, and constants. Also, both APIs
+bind and unbind drivers to devices. The APIs differ in detail, since the
+host side's current URB framework exposes a number of implementation
+details and assumptions that are inappropriate for a gadget API. While
+the model for control transfers and configuration management is
+necessarily different (one side is a hardware-neutral master, the other
+is a hardware-aware slave), the endpoint I/0 API used here should also
+be usable for an overhead-reduced host side API.
+
+Structure of Gadget Drivers
+===========================
+
+A system running inside a USB peripheral normally has at least three
+layers inside the kernel to handle USB protocol processing, and may have
+additional layers in user space code. The "gadget" API is used by the
+middle layer to interact with the lowest level (which directly handles
+hardware).
+
+In Linux, from the bottom up, these layers are:
+
+*USB Controller Driver*
+ This is the lowest software level. It is the only layer that talks
+ to hardware, through registers, fifos, dma, irqs, and the like. The
+ ``<linux/usb/gadget.h>`` API abstracts the peripheral controller
+ endpoint hardware. That hardware is exposed through endpoint
+ objects, which accept streams of IN/OUT buffers, and through
+ callbacks that interact with gadget drivers. Since normal USB
+ devices only have one upstream port, they only have one of these
+ drivers. The controller driver can support any number of different
+ gadget drivers, but only one of them can be used at a time.
+
+ Examples of such controller hardware include the PCI-based NetChip
+ 2280 USB 2.0 high speed controller, the SA-11x0 or PXA-25x UDC
+ (found within many PDAs), and a variety of other products.
+
+*Gadget Driver*
+ The lower boundary of this driver implements hardware-neutral USB
+ functions, using calls to the controller driver. Because such
+ hardware varies widely in capabilities and restrictions, and is used
+ in embedded environments where space is at a premium, the gadget
+ driver is often configured at compile time to work with endpoints
+ supported by one particular controller. Gadget drivers may be
+ portable to several different controllers, using conditional
+ compilation. (Recent kernels substantially simplify the work
+ involved in supporting new hardware, by *autoconfiguring* endpoints
+ automatically for many bulk-oriented drivers.) Gadget driver
+ responsibilities include:
+
+ - handling setup requests (ep0 protocol responses) possibly
+ including class-specific functionality
+
+ - returning configuration and string descriptors
+
+ - (re)setting configurations and interface altsettings, including
+ enabling and configuring endpoints
+
+ - handling life cycle events, such as managing bindings to
+ hardware, USB suspend/resume, remote wakeup, and disconnection
+ from the USB host.
+
+ - managing IN and OUT transfers on all currently enabled endpoints
+
+ Such drivers may be modules of proprietary code, although that
+ approach is discouraged in the Linux community.
+
+*Upper Level*
+ Most gadget drivers have an upper boundary that connects to some
+ Linux driver or framework in Linux. Through that boundary flows the
+ data which the gadget driver produces and/or consumes through
+ protocol transfers over USB. Examples include:
+
+ - user mode code, using generic (gadgetfs) or application specific
+ files in ``/dev``
+
+ - networking subsystem (for network gadgets, like the CDC Ethernet
+ Model gadget driver)
+
+ - data capture drivers, perhaps video4Linux or a scanner driver; or
+ test and measurement hardware.
+
+ - input subsystem (for HID gadgets)
+
+ - sound subsystem (for audio gadgets)
+
+ - file system (for PTP gadgets)
+
+ - block i/o subsystem (for usb-storage gadgets)
+
+ - ... and more
+
+*Additional Layers*
+ Other layers may exist. These could include kernel layers, such as
+ network protocol stacks, as well as user mode applications building
+ on standard POSIX system call APIs such as *open()*, *close()*,
+ *read()* and *write()*. On newer systems, POSIX Async I/O calls may
+ be an option. Such user mode code will not necessarily be subject to
+ the GNU General Public License (GPL).
+
+OTG-capable systems will also need to include a standard Linux-USB host
+side stack, with *usbcore*, one or more *Host Controller Drivers*
+(HCDs), *USB Device Drivers* to support the OTG "Targeted Peripheral
+List", and so forth. There will also be an *OTG Controller Driver*,
+which is visible to gadget and device driver developers only indirectly.
+That helps the host and device side USB controllers implement the two
+new OTG protocols (HNP and SRP). Roles switch (host to peripheral, or
+vice versa) using HNP during USB suspend processing, and SRP can be
+viewed as a more battery-friendly kind of device wakeup protocol.
+
+Over time, reusable utilities are evolving to help make some gadget
+driver tasks simpler. For example, building configuration descriptors
+from vectors of descriptors for the configurations interfaces and
+endpoints is now automated, and many drivers now use autoconfiguration
+to choose hardware endpoints and initialize their descriptors. A
+potential example of particular interest is code implementing standard
+USB-IF protocols for HID, networking, storage, or audio classes. Some
+developers are interested in KDB or KGDB hooks, to let target hardware
+be remotely debugged. Most such USB protocol code doesn't need to be
+hardware-specific, any more than network protocols like X11, HTTP, or
+NFS are. Such gadget-side interface drivers should eventually be
+combined, to implement composite devices.
+
+Kernel Mode Gadget API
+======================
+
+Gadget drivers declare themselves through a *struct
+usb\_gadget\_driver*, which is responsible for most parts of enumeration
+for a *struct usb\_gadget*. The response to a set\_configuration usually
+involves enabling one or more of the *struct usb\_ep* objects exposed by
+the gadget, and submitting one or more *struct usb\_request* buffers to
+transfer data. Understand those four data types, and their operations,
+and you will understand how this API works.
+
+ **Note**
+
+ This documentation was prepared using the standard Linux kernel
+ ``docproc`` tool, which turns text and in-code comments into SGML
+ DocBook and then into usable formats such as HTML or PDF. Other than
+ the "Chapter 9" data types, most of the significant data types and
+ functions are described here.
+
+ However, docproc does not understand all the C constructs that are
+ used, so some relevant information is likely omitted from what you
+ are reading. One example of such information is endpoint
+ autoconfiguration. You'll have to read the header file, and use
+ example source code (such as that for "Gadget Zero"), to fully
+ understand the API.
+
+ The part of the API implementing some basic driver capabilities is
+ specific to the version of the Linux kernel that's in use. The 2.6
+ kernel includes a *driver model* framework that has no analogue on
+ earlier kernels; so those parts of the gadget API are not fully
+ portable. (They are implemented on 2.4 kernels, but in a different
+ way.) The driver model state is another part of this API that is
+ ignored by the kerneldoc tools.
+
+The core API does not expose every possible hardware feature, only the
+most widely available ones. There are significant hardware features,
+such as device-to-device DMA (without temporary storage in a memory
+buffer) that would be added using hardware-specific APIs.
+
+This API allows drivers to use conditional compilation to handle
+endpoint capabilities of different hardware, but doesn't require that.
+Hardware tends to have arbitrary restrictions, relating to transfer
+types, addressing, packet sizes, buffering, and availability. As a rule,
+such differences only matter for "endpoint zero" logic that handles
+device configuration and management. The API supports limited run-time
+detection of capabilities, through naming conventions for endpoints.
+Many drivers will be able to at least partially autoconfigure
+themselves. In particular, driver init sections will often have endpoint
+autoconfiguration logic that scans the hardware's list of endpoints to
+find ones matching the driver requirements (relying on those
+conventions), to eliminate some of the most common reasons for
+conditional compilation.
+
+Like the Linux-USB host side API, this API exposes the "chunky" nature
+of USB messages: I/O requests are in terms of one or more "packets", and
+packet boundaries are visible to drivers. Compared to RS-232 serial
+protocols, USB resembles synchronous protocols like HDLC (N bytes per
+frame, multipoint addressing, host as the primary station and devices as
+secondary stations) more than asynchronous ones (tty style: 8 data bits
+per frame, no parity, one stop bit). So for example the controller
+drivers won't buffer two single byte writes into a single two-byte USB
+IN packet, although gadget drivers may do so when they implement
+protocols where packet boundaries (and "short packets") are not
+significant.
+
+Driver Life Cycle
+-----------------
+
+Gadget drivers make endpoint I/O requests to hardware without needing to
+know many details of the hardware, but driver setup/configuration code
+needs to handle some differences. Use the API like this:
+
+1. Register a driver for the particular device side usb controller
+ hardware, such as the net2280 on PCI (USB 2.0), sa11x0 or pxa25x as
+ found in Linux PDAs, and so on. At this point the device is logically
+ in the USB ch9 initial state ("attached"), drawing no power and not
+ usable (since it does not yet support enumeration). Any host should
+ not see the device, since it's not activated the data line pullup
+ used by the host to detect a device, even if VBUS power is available.
+
+2. Register a gadget driver that implements some higher level device
+ function. That will then bind() to a usb\_gadget, which activates the
+ data line pullup sometime after detecting VBUS.
+
+3. The hardware driver can now start enumerating. The steps it handles
+ are to accept USB power and set\_address requests. Other steps are
+ handled by the gadget driver. If the gadget driver module is unloaded
+ before the host starts to enumerate, steps before step 7 are skipped.
+
+4. The gadget driver's setup() call returns usb descriptors, based both
+ on what the bus interface hardware provides and on the functionality
+ being implemented. That can involve alternate settings or
+ configurations, unless the hardware prevents such operation. For OTG
+ devices, each configuration descriptor includes an OTG descriptor.
+
+5. The gadget driver handles the last step of enumeration, when the USB
+ host issues a set\_configuration call. It enables all endpoints used
+ in that configuration, with all interfaces in their default settings.
+ That involves using a list of the hardware's endpoints, enabling each
+ endpoint according to its descriptor. It may also involve using
+ ``usb_gadget_vbus_draw`` to let more power be drawn from VBUS, as
+ allowed by that configuration. For OTG devices, setting a
+ configuration may also involve reporting HNP capabilities through a
+ user interface.
+
+6. Do real work and perform data transfers, possibly involving changes
+ to interface settings or switching to new configurations, until the
+ device is disconnect()ed from the host. Queue any number of transfer
+ requests to each endpoint. It may be suspended and resumed several
+ times before being disconnected. On disconnect, the drivers go back
+ to step 3 (above).
+
+7. When the gadget driver module is being unloaded, the driver unbind()
+ callback is issued. That lets the controller driver be unloaded.
+
+Drivers will normally be arranged so that just loading the gadget driver
+module (or statically linking it into a Linux kernel) allows the
+peripheral device to be enumerated, but some drivers will defer
+enumeration until some higher level component (like a user mode daemon)
+enables it. Note that at this lowest level there are no policies about
+how ep0 configuration logic is implemented, except that it should obey
+USB specifications. Such issues are in the domain of gadget drivers,
+including knowing about implementation constraints imposed by some USB
+controllers or understanding that composite devices might happen to be
+built by integrating reusable components.
+
+Note that the lifecycle above can be slightly different for OTG devices.
+Other than providing an additional OTG descriptor in each configuration,
+only the HNP-related differences are particularly visible to driver
+code. They involve reporting requirements during the SET\_CONFIGURATION
+request, and the option to invoke HNP during some suspend callbacks.
+Also, SRP changes the semantics of ``usb_gadget_wakeup`` slightly.
+
+USB 2.0 Chapter 9 Types and Constants
+-------------------------------------
+
+Gadget drivers rely on common USB structures and constants defined in
+the ``<linux/usb/ch9.h>`` header file, which is standard in Linux 2.6
+kernels. These are the same types and constants used by host side
+drivers (and usbcore).
+
+!Iinclude/linux/usb/ch9.h
+Core Objects and Methods
+------------------------
+
+These are declared in ``<linux/usb/gadget.h>``, and are used by gadget
+drivers to interact with USB peripheral controller drivers.
+
+!Iinclude/linux/usb/gadget.h
+Optional Utilities
+------------------
+
+The core API is sufficient for writing a USB Gadget Driver, but some
+optional utilities are provided to simplify common tasks. These
+utilities include endpoint autoconfiguration.
+
+!Edrivers/usb/gadget/usbstring.c !Edrivers/usb/gadget/config.c
+Composite Device Framework
+--------------------------
+
+The core API is sufficient for writing drivers for composite USB devices
+(with more than one function in a given configuration), and also
+multi-configuration devices (also more than one function, but not
+necessarily sharing a given configuration). There is however an optional
+framework which makes it easier to reuse and combine functions.
+
+Devices using this framework provide a *struct usb\_composite\_driver*,
+which in turn provides one or more *struct usb\_configuration*
+instances. Each such configuration includes at least one *struct
+usb\_function*, which packages a user visible role such as "network
+link" or "mass storage device". Management functions may also exist,
+such as "Device Firmware Upgrade".
+
+!Iinclude/linux/usb/composite.h !Edrivers/usb/gadget/composite.c
+Composite Device Functions
+--------------------------
+
+At this writing, a few of the current gadget drivers have been converted
+to this framework. Near-term plans include converting all of them,
+except for "gadgetfs".

+!Edrivers/usb/gadget/function/f\_serial.c
+Peripheral Controller Drivers
+=============================
+
+The first hardware supporting this API was the NetChip 2280 controller,
+which supports USB 2.0 high speed and is based on PCI. This is the
+``net2280`` driver module. The driver supports Linux kernel versions 2.4
+and 2.6; contact NetChip Technologies for development boards and product
+information.
+
+Other hardware working in the "gadget" framework includes: Intel's PXA
+25x and IXP42x series processors (``pxa2xx_udc``), Toshiba TC86c001
+"Goku-S" (``goku_udc``), Renesas SH7705/7727 (``sh_udc``), MediaQ 11xx
+(``mq11xx_udc``), Hynix HMS30C7202 (``h7202_udc``), National 9303/4
+(``n9604_udc``), Texas Instruments OMAP (``omap_udc``), Sharp LH7A40x
+(``lh7a40x_udc``), and more. Most of those are full speed controllers.
+
+At this writing, there are people at work on drivers in this framework
+for several other USB device controllers, with plans to make many of
+them be widely available.
+
+A partial USB simulator, the ``dummy_hcd`` driver, is available. It can
+act like a net2280, a pxa25x, or an sa11x0 in terms of available
+endpoints and device speeds; and it simulates control, bulk, and to some
+extent interrupt transfers. That lets you develop some parts of a gadget
+driver on a normal PC, without any special hardware, and perhaps with
+the assistance of tools such as GDB running with User Mode Linux. At
+least one person has expressed interest in adapting that approach,
+hooking it up to a simulator for a microcontroller. Such simulators can
+help debug subsystems where the runtime hardware is unfriendly to
+software development, or is not yet available.
+
+Support for other controllers is expected to be developed and
+contributed over time, as this driver framework evolves.
+
+Gadget Drivers
+==============
+
+In addition to *Gadget Zero* (used primarily for testing and development
+with drivers for usb controller hardware), other gadget drivers exist.
+
+There's an *ethernet* gadget driver, which implements one of the most
+useful *Communications Device Class* (CDC) models. One of the standards
+for cable modem interoperability even specifies the use of this ethernet
+model as one of two mandatory options. Gadgets using this code look to a
+USB host as if they're an Ethernet adapter. It provides access to a
+network where the gadget's CPU is one host, which could easily be
+bridging, routing, or firewalling access to other networks. Since some
+hardware can't fully implement the CDC Ethernet requirements, this
+driver also implements a "good parts only" subset of CDC Ethernet. (That
+subset doesn't advertise itself as CDC Ethernet, to avoid creating
+problems.)
+
+Support for Microsoft's *RNDIS* protocol has been contributed by
+Pengutronix and Auerswald GmbH. This is like CDC Ethernet, but it runs
+on more slightly USB hardware (but less than the CDC subset). However,
+its main claim to fame is being able to connect directly to recent
+versions of Windows, using drivers that Microsoft bundles and supports,
+making it much simpler to network with Windows.
+
+There is also support for user mode gadget drivers, using *gadgetfs*.
+This provides a *User Mode API* that presents each endpoint as a single
+file descriptor. I/O is done using normal *read()* and *read()* calls.
+Familiar tools like GDB and pthreads can be used to develop and debug
+user mode drivers, so that once a robust controller driver is available
+many applications for it won't require new kernel mode software. Linux
+2.6 *Async I/O (AIO)* support is available, so that user mode software
+can stream data with only slightly more overhead than a kernel driver.
+
+There's a USB Mass Storage class driver, which provides a different
+solution for interoperability with systems such as MS-Windows and MacOS.
+That *Mass Storage* driver uses a file or block device as backing store
+for a drive, like the ``loop`` driver. The USB host uses the BBB, CB, or
+CBI versions of the mass storage class specification, using transparent
+SCSI commands to access the data from the backing store.
+
+There's a "serial line" driver, useful for TTY style operation over USB.
+The latest version of that driver supports CDC ACM style operation, like
+a USB modem, and so on most hardware it can interoperate easily with
+MS-Windows. One interesting use of that driver is in boot firmware (like
+a BIOS), which can sometimes use that model with very small systems
+without real serial lines.
+
+Support for other kinds of gadget is expected to be developed and
+contributed over time, as this driver framework evolves.
+
+USB On-The-GO (OTG)
+===================
+
+USB OTG support on Linux 2.6 was initially developed by Texas
+Instruments for `OMAP <http://www.omap.com>`__ 16xx and 17xx series
+processors. Other OTG systems should work in similar ways, but the
+hardware level details could be very different.
+
+Systems need specialized hardware support to implement OTG, notably
+including a special *Mini-AB* jack and associated transceiver to support
+*Dual-Role* operation: they can act either as a host, using the standard
+Linux-USB host side driver stack, or as a peripheral, using this
+"gadget" framework. To do that, the system software relies on small
+additions to those programming interfaces, and on a new internal
+component (here called an "OTG Controller") affecting which driver stack
+connects to the OTG port. In each role, the system can re-use the
+existing pool of hardware-neutral drivers, layered on top of the
+controller driver interfaces (*usb\_bus* or *usb\_gadget*). Such drivers
+need at most minor changes, and most of the calls added to support OTG
+can also benefit non-OTG products.
+
+- Gadget drivers test the *is\_otg* flag, and use it to determine
+ whether or not to include an OTG descriptor in each of their
+ configurations.
+
+- Gadget drivers may need changes to support the two new OTG protocols,
+ exposed in new gadget attributes such as *b\_hnp\_enable* flag. HNP
+ support should be reported through a user interface (two LEDs could
+ suffice), and is triggered in some cases when the host suspends the
+ peripheral. SRP support can be user-initiated just like remote
+ wakeup, probably by pressing the same button.
+
+- On the host side, USB device drivers need to be taught to trigger HNP
+ at appropriate moments, using ``usb_suspend_device()``. That also
+ conserves battery power, which is useful even for non-OTG
+ configurations.
+
+- Also on the host side, a driver must support the OTG "Targeted
+ Peripheral List". That's just a whitelist, used to reject peripherals
+ not supported with a given Linux OTG host. *This whitelist is
+ product-specific; each product must modify ``otg_whitelist.h`` to
+ match its interoperability specification.*
+
+ Non-OTG Linux hosts, like PCs and workstations, normally have some
+ solution for adding drivers, so that peripherals that aren't
+ recognized can eventually be supported. That approach is unreasonable
+ for consumer products that may never have their firmware upgraded,
+ and where it's usually unrealistic to expect traditional
+ PC/workstation/server kinds of support model to work. For example,
+ it's often impractical to change device firmware once the product has
+ been distributed, so driver bugs can't normally be fixed if they're
+ found after shipment.
+
+Additional changes are needed below those hardware-neutral *usb\_bus*
+and *usb\_gadget* driver interfaces; those aren't discussed here in any
+detail. Those affect the hardware-specific code for each USB Host or

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Linux MUSB subsystem is part of the larger Linux USB subsystem. It
+provides support for embedded USB Device Controllers (UDC) that do not
+use Universal Host Controller Interface (UHCI) or Open Host Controller
+Interface (OHCI).
+
+Instead, these embedded UDC rely on the USB On-the-Go (OTG)
+specification which they implement at least partially. The silicon
+reference design used in most cases is the Multipoint USB Highspeed
+Dual-Role Controller (MUSB HDRC) found in the Mentor Graphics Inventra™
+design.
+
+As a self-taught exercise I have written an MUSB glue layer for the
+Ingenic JZ4740 SoC, modelled after the many MUSB glue layers in the
+kernel source tree. This layer can be found at
+drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c. In this documentation I will walk through the
+basics of the jz4740.c glue layer, explaining the different pieces and
+what needs to be done in order to write your own device glue layer.
+
+Linux MUSB Basics
+=================
+
+To get started on the topic, please read USB On-the-Go Basics (see
+Resources) which provides an introduction of USB OTG operation at the
+hardware level. A couple of wiki pages by Texas Instruments and Analog
+Devices also provide an overview of the Linux kernel MUSB configuration,
+albeit focused on some specific devices provided by these companies.
+Finally, getting acquainted with the USB specification at USB home page
+may come in handy, with practical instance provided through the Writing
+USB Device Drivers documentation (again, see Resources).
+
+Linux USB stack is a layered architecture in which the MUSB controller
+hardware sits at the lowest. The MUSB controller driver abstract the
+MUSB controller hardware to the Linux USB stack.
+
+::

+ | aka "Glue Layer" |
+ ---------------------------------
+ ⬍
+ ---------------------------------
+ | MUSB Controller Hardware |
+ ---------------------------------
+
+
+As outlined above, the glue layer is actually the platform specific code
+sitting in between the controller driver and the controller hardware.
+
+Just like a Linux USB driver needs to register itself with the Linux USB
+subsystem, the MUSB glue layer needs first to register itself with the
+MUSB controller driver. This will allow the controller driver to know
+about which device the glue layer supports and which functions to call
+when a supported device is detected or released; remember we are talking
+about an embedded controller chip here, so no insertion or removal at
+run-time.
+
+All of this information is passed to the MUSB controller driver through
+a platform\_driver structure defined in the glue layer as:
+
+::
+
+ static struct platform_driver jz4740_driver = {
+ .probe = jz4740_probe,
+ .remove = jz4740_remove,
+ .driver = {
+ .name = "musb-jz4740",
+ },
+ };
+
+
+The probe and remove function pointers are called when a matching device
+is detected and, respectively, released. The name string describes the
+device supported by this glue layer. In the current case it matches a
+platform\_device structure declared in arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c. Note
+that we are not using device tree bindings here.
+
+In order to register itself to the controller driver, the glue layer
+goes through a few steps, basically allocating the controller hardware
+resources and initialising a couple of circuits. To do so, it needs to
+keep track of the information used throughout these steps. This is done
+by defining a private jz4740\_glue structure:
+
+::
+
+ struct jz4740_glue {
+ struct device *dev;
+ struct platform_device *musb;
+ struct clk *clk;
+ };
+
+
+The dev and musb members are both device structure variables. The first
+one holds generic information about the device, since it's the basic
+device structure, and the latter holds information more closely related
+to the subsystem the device is registered to. The clk variable keeps
+information related to the device clock operation.
+
+Let's go through the steps of the probe function that leads the glue
+layer to register itself to the controller driver.
+
+N.B.: For the sake of readability each function will be split in logical
+parts, each part being shown as if it was independent from the others.
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ {
+ struct platform_device *musb;
+ struct jz4740_glue *glue;
+ struct clk *clk;
+ int ret;
+
+ glue = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*glue), GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!glue)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ musb = platform_device_alloc("musb-hdrc", PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO);
+ if (!musb) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to allocate musb device\n");
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ }
+
+ clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "udc");
+ if (IS_ERR(clk)) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get clock\n");
+ ret = PTR_ERR(clk);
+ goto err_platform_device_put;
+ }
+
+ ret = clk_prepare_enable(clk);
+ if (ret) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to enable clock\n");
+ goto err_platform_device_put;
+ }
+
+ musb->dev.parent = &pdev->dev;
+
+ glue->dev = &pdev->dev;
+ glue->musb = musb;
+ glue->clk = clk;
+
+ return 0;
+
+ err_platform_device_put:
+ platform_device_put(musb);
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+
+The first few lines of the probe function allocate and assign the glue,
+musb and clk variables. The GFP\_KERNEL flag (line 8) allows the
+allocation process to sleep and wait for memory, thus being usable in a
+blocking situation. The PLATFORM\_DEVID\_AUTO flag (line 12) allows
+automatic allocation and management of device IDs in order to avoid
+device namespace collisions with explicit IDs. With devm\_clk\_get()
+(line 18) the glue layer allocates the clock -- the ``devm_`` prefix
+indicates that clk\_get() is managed: it automatically frees the
+allocated clock resource data when the device is released -- and enable
+it.
+
+Then comes the registration steps:
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ {
+ struct musb_hdrc_platform_data *pdata = &jz4740_musb_platform_data;
+
+ pdata->platform_ops = &jz4740_musb_ops;
+
+ platform_set_drvdata(pdev, glue);
+
+ ret = platform_device_add_resources(musb, pdev->resource,
+ pdev->num_resources);
+ if (ret) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add resources\n");
+ goto err_clk_disable;
+ }
+
+ ret = platform_device_add_data(musb, pdata, sizeof(*pdata));
+ if (ret) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to add platform_data\n");
+ goto err_clk_disable;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+
+ err_clk_disable:
+ clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
+ err_platform_device_put:
+ platform_device_put(musb);
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+
+The first step is to pass the device data privately held by the glue
+layer on to the controller driver through platform\_set\_drvdata() (line
+7). Next is passing on the device resources information, also privately
+held at that point, through platform\_device\_add\_resources() (line 9).
+
+Finally comes passing on the platform specific data to the controller
+driver (line 16). Platform data will be discussed in `Chapter
+4 <#device-platform-data>`__, but here we are looking at the
+platform\_ops function pointer (line 5) in musb\_hdrc\_platform\_data
+structure (line 3). This function pointer allows the MUSB controller
+driver to know which function to call for device operation:
+
+::
+
+ static const struct musb_platform_ops jz4740_musb_ops = {
+ .init = jz4740_musb_init,
+ .exit = jz4740_musb_exit,
+ };
+
+
+Here we have the minimal case where only init and exit functions are
+called by the controller driver when needed. Fact is the JZ4740 MUSB
+controller is a basic controller, lacking some features found in other
+controllers, otherwise we may also have pointers to a few other
+functions like a power management function or a function to switch
+between OTG and non-OTG modes, for instance.
+
+At that point of the registration process, the controller driver
+actually calls the init function:
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
+ {
+ musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
+ if (!musb->xceiv) {
+ pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n");
+ return -ENODEV;
+ }
+
+ /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register.
+ * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware.
+ */
+ musb->dyn_fifo = true;
+
+ musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+The goal of jz4740\_musb\_init() is to get hold of the transceiver
+driver data of the MUSB controller hardware and pass it on to the MUSB
+controller driver, as usual. The transceiver is the circuitry inside the
+controller hardware responsible for sending/receiving the USB data.
+Since it is an implementation of the physical layer of the OSI model,
+the transceiver is also referred to as PHY.
+
+Getting hold of the MUSB PHY driver data is done with usb\_get\_phy()
+which returns a pointer to the structure containing the driver instance
+data. The next couple of instructions (line 12 and 14) are used as a
+quirk and to setup IRQ handling respectively. Quirks and IRQ handling
+will be discussed later in `Chapter 5 <#device-quirks>`__ and `Chapter
+3 <#handling-irqs>`__.
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_musb_exit(struct musb *musb)
+ {
+ usb_put_phy(musb->xceiv);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+Acting as the counterpart of init, the exit function releases the MUSB
+PHY driver when the controller hardware itself is about to be released.
+
+Again, note that init and exit are fairly simple in this case due to the
+basic set of features of the JZ4740 controller hardware. When writing an
+musb glue layer for a more complex controller hardware, you might need
+to take care of more processing in those two functions.
+
+Returning from the init function, the MUSB controller driver jumps back
+into the probe function:
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ {
+ ret = platform_device_add(musb);
+ if (ret) {
+ dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to register musb device\n");
+ goto err_clk_disable;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+
+ err_clk_disable:
+ clk_disable_unprepare(clk);
+ err_platform_device_put:
+ platform_device_put(musb);
+ return ret;
+ }
+
+
+This is the last part of the device registration process where the glue
+layer adds the controller hardware device to Linux kernel device
+hierarchy: at this stage, all known information about the device is
+passed on to the Linux USB core stack.
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ {
+ struct jz4740_glue *glue = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
+
+ platform_device_unregister(glue->musb);
+ clk_disable_unprepare(glue->clk);
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+Acting as the counterpart of probe, the remove function unregister the
+MUSB controller hardware (line 5) and disable the clock (line 6),
+allowing it to be gated.
+
+Handling IRQs
+=============
+
+Additionally to the MUSB controller hardware basic setup and
+registration, the glue layer is also responsible for handling the IRQs:
+
+::
+
+ static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci)
+ {
+ unsigned long flags;
+ irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE;
+ struct musb *musb = __hci;
+
+ spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags);
+
+ musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB);
+ musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX);
+ musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX);
+
+ /*
+ * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is
+ * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will
+ * never see them set
+ */
+ musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME |
+ MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF;
+
+ if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx)
+ retval = musb_interrupt(musb);
+
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags);
+
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+
+Here the glue layer mostly has to read the relevant hardware registers
+and pass their values on to the controller driver which will handle the
+actual event that triggered the IRQ.
+
+The interrupt handler critical section is protected by the
+spin\_lock\_irqsave() and counterpart spin\_unlock\_irqrestore()
+functions (line 7 and 24 respectively), which prevent the interrupt
+handler code to be run by two different threads at the same time.
+
+Then the relevant interrupt registers are read (line 9 to 11):
+
+- MUSB\_INTRUSB: indicates which USB interrupts are currently active,
+
+- MUSB\_INTRTX: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are
+ currently active,
+
+- MUSB\_INTRRX: indicates which of the interrupts for TX endpoints are
+ currently active.
+
+Note that musb\_readb() is used to read 8-bit registers at most, while
+musb\_readw() allows us to read at most 16-bit registers. There are
+other functions that can be used depending on the size of your device
+registers. See musb\_io.h for more information.
+
+Instruction on line 18 is another quirk specific to the JZ4740 USB
+device controller, which will be discussed later in `Chapter
+5 <#device-quirks>`__.
+
+The glue layer still needs to register the IRQ handler though. Remember
+the instruction on line 14 of the init function:
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
+ {
+ musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+This instruction sets a pointer to the glue layer IRQ handler function,
+in order for the controller hardware to call the handler back when an
+IRQ comes from the controller hardware. The interrupt handler is now
+implemented and registered.
+
+Device Platform Data
+====================
+
+In order to write an MUSB glue layer, you need to have some data
+describing the hardware capabilities of your controller hardware, which
+is called the platform data.
+
+Platform data is specific to your hardware, though it may cover a broad
+range of devices, and is generally found somewhere in the arch/
+directory, depending on your device architecture.
+
+For instance, platform data for the JZ4740 SoC is found in
+arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c. In the platform.c file each device of the
+JZ4740 SoC is described through a set of structures.
+
+Here is the part of arch/mips/jz4740/platform.c that covers the USB
+Device Controller (UDC):
+
+::
+
+ /* USB Device Controller */
+ struct platform_device jz4740_udc_xceiv_device = {
+ .name = "usb_phy_gen_xceiv",
+ .id = 0,
+ };
+
+ static struct resource jz4740_udc_resources[] = {
+ [0] = {
+ .start = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR,
+ .end = JZ4740_UDC_BASE_ADDR + 0x10000 - 1,
+ .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
+ },
+ [1] = {
+ .start = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC,
+ .end = JZ4740_IRQ_UDC,
+ .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
+ .name = "mc",
+ },
+ };
+
+ struct platform_device jz4740_udc_device = {
+ .name = "musb-jz4740",
+ .id = -1,
+ .dev = {
+ .dma_mask = &jz4740_udc_device.dev.coherent_dma_mask,
+ .coherent_dma_mask = DMA_BIT_MASK(32),
+ },
+ .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_udc_resources),
+ .resource = jz4740_udc_resources,
+ };
+
+
+The jz4740\_udc\_xceiv\_device platform device structure (line 2)
+describes the UDC transceiver with a name and id number.
+
+At the time of this writing, note that "usb\_phy\_gen\_xceiv" is the
+specific name to be used for all transceivers that are either built-in
+with reference USB IP or autonomous and doesn't require any PHY
+programming. You will need to set CONFIG\_NOP\_USB\_XCEIV=y in the
+kernel configuration to make use of the corresponding transceiver
+driver. The id field could be set to -1 (equivalent to
+PLATFORM\_DEVID\_NONE), -2 (equivalent to PLATFORM\_DEVID\_AUTO) or
+start with 0 for the first device of this kind if we want a specific id
+number.
+
+The jz4740\_udc\_resources resource structure (line 7) defines the UDC
+registers base addresses.
+
+The first array (line 9 to 11) defines the UDC registers base memory
+addresses: start points to the first register memory address, end points
+to the last register memory address and the flags member defines the
+type of resource we are dealing with. So IORESOURCE\_MEM is used to
+define the registers memory addresses. The second array (line 14 to 17)
+defines the UDC IRQ registers addresses. Since there is only one IRQ
+register available for the JZ4740 UDC, start and end point at the same
+address. The IORESOURCE\_IRQ flag tells that we are dealing with IRQ
+resources, and the name "mc" is in fact hard-coded in the MUSB core in
+order for the controller driver to retrieve this IRQ resource by
+querying it by its name.
+
+Finally, the jz4740\_udc\_device platform device structure (line 21)
+describes the UDC itself.
+
+The "musb-jz4740" name (line 22) defines the MUSB driver that is used
+for this device; remember this is in fact the name that we used in the
+jz4740\_driver platform driver structure in `Chapter
+2 <#linux-musb-basics>`__. The id field (line 23) is set to -1
+(equivalent to PLATFORM\_DEVID\_NONE) since we do not need an id for the
+device: the MUSB controller driver was already set to allocate an
+automatic id in `Chapter 2 <#linux-musb-basics>`__. In the dev field we
+care for DMA related information here. The dma\_mask field (line 25)
+defines the width of the DMA mask that is going to be used, and
+coherent\_dma\_mask (line 26) has the same purpose but for the
+alloc\_coherent DMA mappings: in both cases we are using a 32 bits mask.
+Then the resource field (line 29) is simply a pointer to the resource
+structure defined before, while the num\_resources field (line 28) keeps
+track of the number of arrays defined in the resource structure (in this
+case there were two resource arrays defined before).
+
+With this quick overview of the UDC platform data at the arch/ level now
+done, let's get back to the MUSB glue layer specific platform data in
+drivers/usb/musb/jz4740.c:
+
+::
+
+ static struct musb_hdrc_config jz4740_musb_config = {
+ /* Silicon does not implement USB OTG. */
+ .multipoint = 0,
+ /* Max EPs scanned, driver will decide which EP can be used. */
+ .num_eps = 4,
+ /* RAMbits needed to configure EPs from table */
+ .ram_bits = 9,
+ .fifo_cfg = jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg,
+ .fifo_cfg_size = ARRAY_SIZE(jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg),
+ };
+
+ static struct musb_hdrc_platform_data jz4740_musb_platform_data = {
+ .mode = MUSB_PERIPHERAL,
+ .config = &jz4740_musb_config,
+ };
+
+
+First the glue layer configures some aspects of the controller driver
+operation related to the controller hardware specifics. This is done
+through the jz4740\_musb\_config musb\_hdrc\_config structure.
+
+Defining the OTG capability of the controller hardware, the multipoint
+member (line 3) is set to 0 (equivalent to false) since the JZ4740 UDC
+is not OTG compatible. Then num\_eps (line 5) defines the number of USB
+endpoints of the controller hardware, including endpoint 0: here we have
+3 endpoints + endpoint 0. Next is ram\_bits (line 7) which is the width
+of the RAM address bus for the MUSB controller hardware. This
+information is needed when the controller driver cannot automatically
+configure endpoints by reading the relevant controller hardware
+registers. This issue will be discussed when we get to device quirks in
+`Chapter 5 <#device-quirks>`__. Last two fields (line 8 and 9) are also
+about device quirks: fifo\_cfg points to the USB endpoints configuration
+table and fifo\_cfg\_size keeps track of the size of the number of
+entries in that configuration table. More on that later in `Chapter
+5 <#device-quirks>`__.
+
+Then this configuration is embedded inside jz4740\_musb\_platform\_data
+musb\_hdrc\_platform\_data structure (line 11): config is a pointer to
+the configuration structure itself, and mode tells the controller driver
+if the controller hardware may be used as MUSB\_HOST only,
+MUSB\_PERIPHERAL only or MUSB\_OTG which is a dual mode.
+
+Remember that jz4740\_musb\_platform\_data is then used to convey
+platform data information as we have seen in the probe function in
+`Chapter 2 <#linux-musb-basics>`__
+
+Device Quirks
+=============
+
+Completing the platform data specific to your device, you may also need
+to write some code in the glue layer to work around some device specific
+limitations. These quirks may be due to some hardware bugs, or simply be
+the result of an incomplete implementation of the USB On-the-Go
+specification.
+
+The JZ4740 UDC exhibits such quirks, some of which we will discuss here
+for the sake of insight even though these might not be found in the
+controller hardware you are working on.
+
+Let's get back to the init function first:
+
+::
+
+ static int jz4740_musb_init(struct musb *musb)
+ {
+ musb->xceiv = usb_get_phy(USB_PHY_TYPE_USB2);
+ if (!musb->xceiv) {
+ pr_err("HS UDC: no transceiver configured\n");
+ return -ENODEV;
+ }
+
+ /* Silicon does not implement ConfigData register.
+ * Set dyn_fifo to avoid reading EP config from hardware.
+ */
+ musb->dyn_fifo = true;
+
+ musb->isr = jz4740_musb_interrupt;
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+Instruction on line 12 helps the MUSB controller driver to work around
+the fact that the controller hardware is missing registers that are used
+for USB endpoints configuration.
+
+Without these registers, the controller driver is unable to read the
+endpoints configuration from the hardware, so we use line 12 instruction
+to bypass reading the configuration from silicon, and rely on a
+hard-coded table that describes the endpoints configuration instead:
+
+::
+
+ static struct musb_fifo_cfg jz4740_musb_fifo_cfg[] = {
+ { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 512, },
+ { .hw_ep_num = 1, .style = FIFO_RX, .maxpacket = 512, },
+ { .hw_ep_num = 2, .style = FIFO_TX, .maxpacket = 64, },
+ };
+
+
+Looking at the configuration table above, we see that each endpoints is
+described by three fields: hw\_ep\_num is the endpoint number, style is
+its direction (either FIFO\_TX for the controller driver to send packets
+in the controller hardware, or FIFO\_RX to receive packets from
+hardware), and maxpacket defines the maximum size of each data packet
+that can be transmitted over that endpoint. Reading from the table, the
+controller driver knows that endpoint 1 can be used to send and receive
+USB data packets of 512 bytes at once (this is in fact a bulk in/out
+endpoint), and endpoint 2 can be used to send data packets of 64 bytes
+at once (this is in fact an interrupt endpoint).
+
+Note that there is no information about endpoint 0 here: that one is
+implemented by default in every silicon design, with a predefined
+configuration according to the USB specification. For more examples of
+endpoint configuration tables, see musb\_core.c.
+
+Let's now get back to the interrupt handler function:
+
+::
+
+ static irqreturn_t jz4740_musb_interrupt(int irq, void *__hci)
+ {
+ unsigned long flags;
+ irqreturn_t retval = IRQ_NONE;
+ struct musb *musb = __hci;
+
+ spin_lock_irqsave(&musb->lock, flags);
+
+ musb->int_usb = musb_readb(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRUSB);
+ musb->int_tx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRTX);
+ musb->int_rx = musb_readw(musb->mregs, MUSB_INTRRX);
+
+ /*
+ * The controller is gadget only, the state of the host mode IRQ bits is
+ * undefined. Mask them to make sure that the musb driver core will
+ * never see them set
+ */
+ musb->int_usb &= MUSB_INTR_SUSPEND | MUSB_INTR_RESUME |
+ MUSB_INTR_RESET | MUSB_INTR_SOF;
+
+ if (musb->int_usb || musb->int_tx || musb->int_rx)
+ retval = musb_interrupt(musb);
+
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&musb->lock, flags);
+
+ return retval;
+ }
+
+
+Instruction on line 18 above is a way for the controller driver to work
+around the fact that some interrupt bits used for USB host mode
+operation are missing in the MUSB\_INTRUSB register, thus left in an
+undefined hardware state, since this MUSB controller hardware is used in
+peripheral mode only. As a consequence, the glue layer masks these
+missing bits out to avoid parasite interrupts by doing a logical AND
+operation between the value read from MUSB\_INTRUSB and the bits that
+are actually implemented in the register.
+
+These are only a couple of the quirks found in the JZ4740 USB device
+controller. Some others were directly addressed in the MUSB core since
+the fixes were generic enough to provide a better handling of the issues
+for others controller hardware eventually.
+
+Conclusion
+==========
+
+Writing a Linux MUSB glue layer should be a more accessible task, as
+this documentation tries to show the ins and outs of this exercise.
+
+The JZ4740 USB device controller being fairly simple, I hope its glue
+layer serves as a good example for the curious mind. Used with the
+current MUSB glue layers, this documentation should provide enough
+guidance to get started; should anything gets out of hand, the linux-usb
+mailing list archive is another helpful resource to browse through.

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Linux USB subsystem has grown from supporting only two different
+types of devices in the 2.2.7 kernel (mice and keyboards), to over 20
+different types of devices in the 2.4 kernel. Linux currently supports
+almost all USB class devices (standard types of devices like keyboards,
+mice, modems, printers and speakers) and an ever-growing number of
+vendor-specific devices (such as USB to serial converters, digital
+cameras, Ethernet devices and MP3 players). For a full list of the
+different USB devices currently supported, see Resources.
+
+The remaining kinds of USB devices that do not have support on Linux are
+almost all vendor-specific devices. Each vendor decides to implement a
+custom protocol to talk to their device, so a custom driver usually
+needs to be created. Some vendors are open with their USB protocols and
+help with the creation of Linux drivers, while others do not publish
+them, and developers are forced to reverse-engineer. See Resources for
+some links to handy reverse-engineering tools.
+
+Because each different protocol causes a new driver to be created, I
+have written a generic USB driver skeleton, modelled after the
+pci-skeleton.c file in the kernel source tree upon which many PCI
+network drivers have been based. This USB skeleton can be found at
+drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c in the kernel source tree. In this article I
+will walk through the basics of the skeleton driver, explaining the
+different pieces and what needs to be done to customize it to your
+specific device.
+
+Linux USB Basics
+================
+
+If you are going to write a Linux USB driver, please become familiar
+with the USB protocol specification. It can be found, along with many
+other useful documents, at the USB home page (see Resources). An
+excellent introduction to the Linux USB subsystem can be found at the
+USB Working Devices List (see Resources). It explains how the Linux USB
+subsystem is structured and introduces the reader to the concept of USB
+urbs (USB Request Blocks), which are essential to USB drivers.
+
+The first thing a Linux USB driver needs to do is register itself with
+the Linux USB subsystem, giving it some information about which devices
+the driver supports and which functions to call when a device supported
+by the driver is inserted or removed from the system. All of this
+information is passed to the USB subsystem in the usb\_driver structure.
+The skeleton driver declares a usb\_driver as:
+
+::
+
+ static struct usb_driver skel_driver = {
+ .name = "skeleton",
+ .probe = skel_probe,
+ .disconnect = skel_disconnect,
+ .fops = &skel_fops,
+ .minor = USB_SKEL_MINOR_BASE,
+ .id_table = skel_table,
+ };
+
+
+The variable name is a string that describes the driver. It is used in
+informational messages printed to the system log. The probe and
+disconnect function pointers are called when a device that matches the
+information provided in the id\_table variable is either seen or
+removed.
+
+The fops and minor variables are optional. Most USB drivers hook into
+another kernel subsystem, such as the SCSI, network or TTY subsystem.
+These types of drivers register themselves with the other kernel
+subsystem, and any user-space interactions are provided through that
+interface. But for drivers that do not have a matching kernel subsystem,
+such as MP3 players or scanners, a method of interacting with user space
+is needed. The USB subsystem provides a way to register a minor device
+number and a set of file\_operations function pointers that enable this
+user-space interaction. The skeleton driver needs this kind of
+interface, so it provides a minor starting number and a pointer to its
+file\_operations functions.
+
+The USB driver is then registered with a call to usb\_register, usually
+in the driver's init function, as shown here:
+
+::
+
+ static int __init usb_skel_init(void)
+ {
+ int result;
+
+ /* register this driver with the USB subsystem */
+ result = usb_register(&skel_driver);
+ if (result < 0) {
+ err("usb_register failed for the "__FILE__ "driver."
+ "Error number %d", result);
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+ module_init(usb_skel_init);
+
+
+When the driver is unloaded from the system, it needs to deregister
+itself with the USB subsystem. This is done with the usb\_deregister
+function:
+
+::
+
+ static void __exit usb_skel_exit(void)
+ {
+ /* deregister this driver with the USB subsystem */
+ usb_deregister(&skel_driver);
+ }
+ module_exit(usb_skel_exit);
+
+
+To enable the linux-hotplug system to load the driver automatically when
+the device is plugged in, you need to create a MODULE\_DEVICE\_TABLE.
+The following code tells the hotplug scripts that this module supports a
+single device with a specific vendor and product ID:
+
+::
+
+ /* table of devices that work with this driver */
+ static struct usb_device_id skel_table [] = {
+ { USB_DEVICE(USB_SKEL_VENDOR_ID, USB_SKEL_PRODUCT_ID) },
+ { } /* Terminating entry */
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE (usb, skel_table);
+
+
+There are other macros that can be used in describing a usb\_device\_id
+for drivers that support a whole class of USB drivers. See usb.h for
+more information on this.
+
+Device operation
+================
+
+When a device is plugged into the USB bus that matches the device ID
+pattern that your driver registered with the USB core, the probe
+function is called. The usb\_device structure, interface number and the
+interface ID are passed to the function:
+
+::
+
+ static int skel_probe(struct usb_interface *interface,
+ const struct usb_device_id *id)
+
+
+The driver now needs to verify that this device is actually one that it
+can accept. If so, it returns 0. If not, or if any error occurs during
+initialization, an errorcode (such as ``-ENOMEM`` or ``-ENODEV``) is
+returned from the probe function.
+
+In the skeleton driver, we determine what end points are marked as
+bulk-in and bulk-out. We create buffers to hold the data that will be
+sent and received from the device, and a USB urb to write data to the
+device is initialized.
+
+Conversely, when the device is removed from the USB bus, the disconnect
+function is called with the device pointer. The driver needs to clean
+any private data that has been allocated at this time and to shut down
+any pending urbs that are in the USB system.
+
+Now that the device is plugged into the system and the driver is bound
+to the device, any of the functions in the file\_operations structure
+that were passed to the USB subsystem will be called from a user program
+trying to talk to the device. The first function called will be open, as
+the program tries to open the device for I/O. We increment our private
+usage count and save a pointer to our internal structure in the file
+structure. This is done so that future calls to file operations will
+enable the driver to determine which device the user is addressing. All
+of this is done with the following code:
+
+::
+
+ /* increment our usage count for the module */
+ ++skel->open_count;
+
+ /* save our object in the file's private structure */
+ file->private_data = dev;
+
+
+After the open function is called, the read and write functions are
+called to receive and send data to the device. In the skel\_write
+function, we receive a pointer to some data that the user wants to send
+to the device and the size of the data. The function determines how much
+data it can send to the device based on the size of the write urb it has
+created (this size depends on the size of the bulk out end point that
+the device has). Then it copies the data from user space to kernel
+space, points the urb to the data and submits the urb to the USB
+subsystem. This can be seen in the following code:
+
+::
+
+ /* we can only write as much as 1 urb will hold */
+ bytes_written = (count > skel->bulk_out_size) ? skel->bulk_out_size : count;
+
+ /* copy the data from user space into our urb */
+ copy_from_user(skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer, buffer, bytes_written);
+
+ /* set up our urb */
+ usb_fill_bulk_urb(skel->write_urb,
+ skel->dev,
+ usb_sndbulkpipe(skel->dev, skel->bulk_out_endpointAddr),
+ skel->write_urb->transfer_buffer,
+ bytes_written,
+ skel_write_bulk_callback,
+ skel);
+
+ /* send the data out the bulk port */
+ result = usb_submit_urb(skel->write_urb);
+ if (result) {
+ err("Failed submitting write urb, error %d", result);
+ }
+
+
+When the write urb is filled up with the proper information using the
+usb\_fill\_bulk\_urb function, we point the urb's completion callback to
+call our own skel\_write\_bulk\_callback function. This function is
+called when the urb is finished by the USB subsystem. The callback
+function is called in interrupt context, so caution must be taken not to
+do very much processing at that time. Our implementation of
+skel\_write\_bulk\_callback merely reports if the urb was completed
+successfully or not and then returns.
+
+The read function works a bit differently from the write function in
+that we do not use an urb to transfer data from the device to the
+driver. Instead we call the usb\_bulk\_msg function, which can be used
+to send or receive data from a device without having to create urbs and
+handle urb completion callback functions. We call the usb\_bulk\_msg
+function, giving it a buffer into which to place any data received from
+the device and a timeout value. If the timeout period expires without
+receiving any data from the device, the function will fail and return an
+error message. This can be shown with the following code:
+
+::
+
+ /* do an immediate bulk read to get data from the device */
+ retval = usb_bulk_msg (skel->dev,
+ usb_rcvbulkpipe (skel->dev,
+ skel->bulk_in_endpointAddr),
+ skel->bulk_in_buffer,
+ skel->bulk_in_size,
+ &count, HZ*10);
+ /* if the read was successful, copy the data to user space */
+ if (!retval) {
+ if (copy_to_user (buffer, skel->bulk_in_buffer, count))
+ retval = -EFAULT;
+ else
+ retval = count;
+ }
+
+
+The usb\_bulk\_msg function can be very useful for doing single reads or
+writes to a device; however, if you need to read or write constantly to
+a device, it is recommended to set up your own urbs and submit them to
+the USB subsystem.
+
+When the user program releases the file handle that it has been using to
+talk to the device, the release function in the driver is called. In
+this function we decrement our private usage count and wait for possible
+pending writes:
+
+::
+
+ /* decrement our usage count for the device */
+ --skel->open_count;
+
+
+One of the more difficult problems that USB drivers must be able to
+handle smoothly is the fact that the USB device may be removed from the
+system at any point in time, even if a program is currently talking to
+it. It needs to be able to shut down any current reads and writes and
+notify the user-space programs that the device is no longer there. The
+following code (function ``skel_delete``) is an example of how to do
+this:
+
+::
+
+ static inline void skel_delete (struct usb_skel *dev)
+ {
+ kfree (dev->bulk_in_buffer);
+ if (dev->bulk_out_buffer != NULL)
+ usb_free_coherent (dev->udev, dev->bulk_out_size,
+ dev->bulk_out_buffer,
+ dev->write_urb->transfer_dma);
+ usb_free_urb (dev->write_urb);
+ kfree (dev);
+ }
+
+
+If a program currently has an open handle to the device, we reset the
+flag ``device_present``. For every read, write, release and other
+functions that expect a device to be present, the driver first checks
+this flag to see if the device is still present. If not, it releases
+that the device has disappeared, and a -ENODEV error is returned to the
+user-space program. When the release function is eventually called, it
+determines if there is no device and if not, it does the cleanup that
+the skel\_disconnect function normally does if there are no open files
+on the device (see Listing 5).
+
+Isochronous Data
+================
+
+This usb-skeleton driver does not have any examples of interrupt or
+isochronous data being sent to or from the device. Interrupt data is
+sent almost exactly as bulk data is, with a few minor exceptions.
+Isochronous data works differently with continuous streams of data being
+sent to or from the device. The audio and video camera drivers are very
+good examples of drivers that handle isochronous data and will be useful
+if you also need to do this.
+
+Conclusion
+==========
+
+Writing Linux USB device drivers is not a difficult task as the
+usb-skeleton driver shows. This driver, combined with the other current
+USB drivers, should provide enough examples to help a beginning author
+create a working driver in a minimal amount of time. The linux-usb-devel
+mailing list archives also contain a lot of helpful information.

right, its a no-brainer ;-) I'am not very happy with this
conversions, some examples see below.
I recommend to use a more elaborate conversion as starting point,
e.g. from my sphkerneldoc project:

Since these DocBooks hasn't been changed in the last month, the linked reST

Markus, I know you've done a lot of work on your conversions, and you
like to advocate them, but AFAICT you have never posted the conversions
as patches to the list. Your project isn't a clone of the kernel
tree. It's a pile of .rst files that nobody knows how to produce from
current upstream DocBook .tmpl files. I'm sorry, but this just doesn't
work that way.
At this point I'd just go with what Mauro has. It's here now, as
patches. We've seen from the GPU documentation that polishing the
one-time initial conversion is, after a point, wasted effort. Having the
documentation in rst attracts more attention and contributions, and any
remaining issues will get ironed out in rst.
This is also one reason I'm in favor of just bulk converting the rest of
the .tmpl files using Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt, get rid of DocBook
and be done with it, and have the crowds focus on rst.
BR,
Jani.

The conversion is done with the dbxml2rst tool:
https://github.com/return42/dbxml2rst
But you are right, the links I send are decoupled from kernel. It is
a 5 month old snapshot of a DocBook to reST conversion (now updated,
with no affect to the linked files, since they have not been patched
in the meantime) ...

I totally agree with you (I have never said something different)

I also agree with that. The tmplcvt script is good enough for this task,
the dbxml2rst tool is more elaborate.
If Jonathan also likes to have a bulk conversion of the rest DocBooks,
we can use tmplcvt or even dbxml2rst for this task. Everything under
https://github.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/tree/master/Documentation/books_migrated
is just a "make dbxm2rst", I can update every time and if a bulk conversion
is the way ... I can send such patches or you send a tmplcvt conversion.
@Jon: what do you think about a bulk conversion?

I like the idea of a bulk conversion. My personal preference here is to
use the tmplcvt for such task, at least for simple books like the ones
I converted from USB.
The advantage is that it places everything on a single rst file, with,
IMHO, works best for books that aren't too complex.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to compare the end result with dbxml2rst
and see if something could be improved.

If it helps ... dbxml2rst also supports single file conversion ... I updated:
https://github.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/tree/master/Documentation/books_migrated
There you find a folder for each DocBook conversion with only one rst file (index.rst)
in .. If you like, use it for comparison.

Forget to mentioning one of the main benefits:
The conversion with dbxml2rst produce tables with directive ".. flat-table::"
instead of building ASCII tables (like pandoc does).

Ok, I double-checked the results from dbxml2rst with pandoc (via
the script). Those are the differences after running the following commands:
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/master/Documentation/books_migrated/writing_usb_driver/index.rst
$ Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt Documentation/DocBook/writing_usb_driver.tmpl writing_usb_driver.rst
$ diff -uprBw writing_usb_driver.rst index.rst
1) Author data:
-:Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman
+:author: Kroah-Hartman Greg
+:address: greg@kroah.com
dbxml2rst inverted the author's name. It also added author's e-mail.
IMHO, it is better to not have email address there, as it could be
outdated, but this is just my personal preference.
2) dbxml2rst added a copyright information:
+**Copyright** 2001-2002 : Greg Kroah-Hartman
This is a good thing.
3) dbxml2rst added a GPL information.
IMHO, we should add just one GPL information, per hole book
(and not per converted file).
4) dbxml2rst created some references that won't be unique:
+.. _intro:
That's a bad thing, as I bet most converted documents will have "intro"
sections.
5) dbxml2rst use ".. code-block:: c" instead of "::"
I prefer using "::"
6) dbxml2rst appends a commentary at the end:
+.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+.. This file was automatically converted from DocBook-XML with the dbxml
+.. library (https://github.com/return42/dbxml2rst). The origin XML comes
+.. from the linux kernel:
+..
+.. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
+.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) dbxml2rst did a worse job with URB conversions:
-USB Home Page: http://www.usb.org
+USB Home Page: `http://www.usb.org <http://www.usb.org>`__
So, in summary, at least for this document, the only thing good with
dbxml2rst was that it filled the copyright info.
Maybe for more complex documents, it would do a better job.
Yet, in order to standardize it everywhere, I guess the best would be to
produce copyright data like:
.. include:: <isonum.txt>
:Copyright: |copy| 2001-2002 : Greg Kroah-Hartman

I'm a bit leery of it, to tell the truth. We're trying to create a
better set of kernel docs, and I'm far from convinced that dumping a
bunch of unloved stuff there in a mechanical way will get us there.
Each of those docs needs to be looked at, and, first of all, we need to
decide whether it's worth keeping or not. Nobody wants to delete docs,
but old and unmaintained stuff doesn't help our users, IMO. For the
stuff we want to keep, we need to look at how it fits into the new
scheme, probably split it up, etc.
It's a lot slower, but we've been getting rid of 3-6 template files in
each of the last few cycles, so we are getting there. I don't think we
need to just give up on the rest.
Thanks,
jon

- use the proper warning and note markups;
- add references for parts of the document that will be
cross-referenced on other USB docs;
- some minor adjustments to make it better to read in
text mode and in html.

The pandoc conversion is not perfect. Do handwork in order to:
- add a title to this chapter;
- use the proper warning and note markups;
- use kernel-doc to include Kernel header and c files;
- remove legacy notes with regards to DocBook;
- some other minor adjustments to make it better to read in
text mode and in html.

That said, since you've already manually done the work, you might want
to do another conversion using the script, and diff the results to see
if there's something you've perhaps missed. I'm pretty sure nobody's
going to read patch 2 line-by-line...

Done. The only thing left was the original docbook title and author
information.
The diff also showed that I was a little lazy manually adjust the
gadget.rst document ;) The enclosed patch should fix those issues.
I'll likely fold it with other patches when sending a version 2.

[PATCH] docs-rst: improve docbook-converted documents
The output of Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt showed that a few
adjustments could be done in order to improve the output of
the two files that were converted from docbook:

Ah, didn't know about such script!
Trying it here:
$ Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt Documentation/DocBook/writing_usb_driver.tmpl
sed: couldn't open file convert_template.sed: No such file or directory
It would be good to change the script for it to seek for convert_template.sed
at the right place.
So, please consider the following patch.
Regards,
Mauro
[PATCH] tmplcvt: make the tool more robust
Currently, the script just assumes to be called at
Documentation/sphinx/. Change it to work on any directory,
and make it abort if something gets wrong.
Also, be sure that both parameters are specified.
That should avoid troubles like this:

- add a title to this chapter;
- adjust function and struct references;
- use monospaced fonts for C code names;
- some other minor adjustments to make it better to read in

This file is actually quite complex, and required several
manual handwork:
- add a title for the document;
- use the right tags for monospaced fonts;
- use c references where needed;
- adjust cross-reference to writing_usb_driver.rst
- hightlight cross-referenced lines.
With regards to C code snippet line highlights, the better would be
to use :linenos: for the C code snippets that are referenced by
the line number. However, at least with Sphinx 1.4.9, enabling
it cause the line number to be misaligned with the code,
making it even more confusing. So, instead, let's use
:emphasize-lines: tag to mark the lines that are referenced
at the text.

+USB Error codes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Revised: 2004-Oct-21
+
+This is the documentation of (hopefully) all possible error codes (and
+their interpretation) that can be returned from usbcore.
+
+Some of them are returned by the Host Controller Drivers (HCDs), which
+device drivers only see through usbcore. As a rule, all the HCDs should
+behave the same except for transfer speed dependent behaviors and the
+way certain faults are reported.
+
+
+Error codes returned by :c:func:`usb_submit_urb`
+================================================
+
+Non-USB-specific:
+
+
+=============== ===============================================
+0 URB submission went fine
+
+``-ENOMEM`` no memory for allocation of internal structures
+=============== ===============================================
+
+USB-specific:
+
+======================= =======================================================
+``-EBUSY`` The URB is already active.
+
+``-ENODEV`` specified USB-device or bus doesn't exist
+
+``-ENOENT`` specified interface or endpoint does not exist or
+ is not enabled
+
+``-ENXIO`` host controller driver does not support queuing of
+ this type of urb. (treat as a host controller bug.)
+
+``-EINVAL`` a) Invalid transfer type specified (or not supported)
+ b) Invalid or unsupported periodic transfer interval
+ c) ISO: attempted to change transfer interval
+ d) ISO: ``number_of_packets`` is < 0
+ e) various other cases
+
+``-EXDEV`` ISO: ``URB_ISO_ASAP`` wasn't specified and all the
+ frames the URB would be scheduled in have already
+ expired.
+
+``-EFBIG`` Host controller driver can't schedule that many ISO
+ frames.
+
+``-EPIPE`` The pipe type specified in the URB doesn't match the
+ endpoint's actual type.
+
+``-EMSGSIZE`` (a) endpoint maxpacket size is zero; it is not usable
+ in the current interface altsetting.
+ (b) ISO packet is larger than the endpoint maxpacket.
+ (c) requested data transfer length is invalid: negative
+ or too large for the host controller.
+
+``-ENOSPC`` This request would overcommit the usb bandwidth reserved
+ for periodic transfers (interrupt, isochronous).
+
+``-ESHUTDOWN`` The device or host controller has been disabled due to
+ some problem that could not be worked around.
+
+``-EPERM`` Submission failed because ``urb->reject`` was set.
+
+``-EHOSTUNREACH`` URB was rejected because the device is suspended.
+
+``-ENOEXEC`` A control URB doesn't contain a Setup packet.
+======================= =======================================================
+
+Error codes returned by ``in urb->status`` or in ``iso_frame_desc[n].status`` (for ISO)
+=======================================================================================
+
+USB device drivers may only test urb status values in completion handlers.
+This is because otherwise there would be a race between HCDs updating
+these values on one CPU, and device drivers testing them on another CPU.
+
+A transfer's actual_length may be positive even when an error has been
+reported. That's because transfers often involve several packets, so that
+one or more packets could finish before an error stops further endpoint I/O.
+
+For isochronous URBs, the urb status value is non-zero only if the URB is
+unlinked, the device is removed, the host controller is disabled, or the total
+transferred length is less than the requested length and the
+``URB_SHORT_NOT_OK`` flag is set. Completion handlers for isochronous URBs
+should only see ``urb->status`` set to zero, ``-ENOENT``, ``-ECONNRESET``,
+``-ESHUTDOWN``, or ``-EREMOTEIO``. Individual frame descriptor status fields
+may report more status codes.

The URB doc describes the Kernel mechanism that do USB transfers.
While the functions are already described at urb.h, there are a
number of concepts and theory that are important for USB driver
developers.
Convert it to ReST and use C ref links to point to the places
at usb.h where each function and struct is located.
A few of those descriptions were incomplete. While here, update
to reflect the current API status.

Several host controllers, commonly found on ARM, like dwc2,
require buffers that are CPU-word aligned for they to work.
Failing to do that will cause random troubles at the caller
drivers, causing them to fail.

Is it the CPU word size or the DMA transfer size ? I assume the latter, and I
wouldn't be surprised if the alignment requirement was 32-bit on at least some
of the 64-bit platforms.

"May" is quite weak here. If some host controller drivers require buffers to
be aligned, then it's an API requirement, and all buffers must be aligned. I'm
not even sure I would mention that some host drivers require it, I think we
should just state that the API requires buffers to be aligned.

Yeah, it is actually the DMA transfer size. Yet, worse case scenario is that
the DMA transfer size to be 64 bits on 64 bits CPU.

What I'm trying to say here is that, on a 32-bits system, if the driver do
a USB_DIR_IN transfer using some code similar to:
size = 4;
buffer = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
usb_control_msg(udev, pipe, req, type, val, idx, buffer + 2, 2, timeout);
usb_control_msg(udev, pipe, req, type, val, idx, buffer, size, timeout);
Drivers like dwc2 will mess with the buffer.
The first transfer will actually work, due to a workaround inside the
driver that will create a temporary DWORD-aligned buffer, avoiding it
to go past the buffer.
However, the second transfer will destroy the data received from the
first usb_control_msg(), as it will write 4 bytes at the buffer.
Not all drivers would do that, though.
Please notice that, as kmalloc will always return a CPU-aligned buffer,
if the client do something like:
size = 2;
buffer = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
usb_control_msg(udev, pipe, req, type, val, idx, buffer, 2, timeout);
What happens there is that the DMA engine will still write 4 bytes at
the buffer, but the 2 bytes that go past the end of buffer will be
written on a memory that will never be used.

IMHO, it is better to document it at those 3 parts, as this issue
cause buffer overflows, which is pretty serious, as it corrupts data.
The URB.rst file contains a quick overview of the URB data transfers,
and it is likely where a kernel newbie would read first. Experienced
programmers will look at urb.h.
usb_control_msg() is a different function, that one might not be
expecting to have the same issues.

Mauro

I understand that, but stating that host controller drivers "may" do this
won't help much. If they *may*, all USB device drivers *must* align buffers
correctly. That's the part that needs to be documented. Let's not confuse
developers by only stating that something may happened, let's be clear and
tell what they must do.

If you add the complete explanation to URB.rst, you can then reference it from
the functions' kerneldoc instead of copying it.

True, but URB.txt has a note saying that the document may not be
fully updated, implying that urb.h header is the main reference.
So, I stand that the best here is to have this warning duplicated,
as this is a pretty serious issue and will require people to review
all USB drivers.

That effectively changes the API. Many network drivers are written with
the assumption that any contiguous buffer is valid. In fact you could
argue that those drivers are buggy and must use bounce buffers in those
cases.
So we need to include the full story here.

I personally don't care much about whose side is responsible for handling the
alignment constraints, but I want it to be documented before "fixing" any USB
driver.

Blaming the dwc2 driver was my first approach, but such patch got nacked ;)
Btw, the dwc2 driver has a routine that creates a temporary buffer if the
buffer pointer is not DWORD aligned. My first approach were to add
a logic there to also use the temporary buffer if the buffer size is
not DWORD aligned:
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/40093/
While debugging this issue, I saw *a lot* of network-generated URB
traffic from RPi3 Ethernet port drivers that were using non-aligned
buffers and were subject to the temporary buffer conversion.
My understanding here is that having a temporary bounce buffer sucks,
as the performance and latency are affected. So, I see the value of
adding this constraint to the API, pushing the task of getting
aligned buffers to the USB drivers, but you're right: that means a lot
of work, as all USB drivers should be reviewed.
Btw, I'm a lot more concerned about USB storage drivers. When I was
discussing about this issue at the #raspberrypi-devel IRC channel,
someone complained that, after switching from the RPi downstream Kernel
to upstream, his USB data storage got corrupted. Well, if the USB
storage drivers also assume that the buffer can be continuous,
that can corrupt data.
That's why I think that being verbose here is a good idea.
I'll rework on this patch to put more emphasis about this issue.

Buffers from the network stack will almost always be 4n+2 aligned.
Receive data being fed into the network stack really needs to be
4n=2 aligned.
The USB stack almost certainly has to live with that.
If the USB ethernet device doesn't have two bytes of 'pad' before
the frame data (destination MAC address) then you have to solve
the problem within the USB stack.
For transmits it might be possible to send an initial 2 byte fragment
from a separate buffer - but only if arbitrary fragment sizes are
allowed.
A normal USB3 controller should allow this - but you have to be very
careful about what happens at the end of the ring.

If we decide in the end to push the constraint on the USB device driver side,
then the dwc2 HCD driver should return an error when the buffer isn't
correctly aligned.

No, it won't degrade performance out there, except if the driver
would need to do double buffering due to such constraint.
It will just waste memory.

Yeah, with such constraint, either the HCD drivers or the USB core
should complain.
There is another option: to add a field, filled by te USB driver,
telling the core that the buffer is aligned, e. g. drivers would
be doing something like:
urb->transfer_buffer_align = 4;
Something similar could be filled by the HCD driver:
hc_driver->transfer_buffer_align = 4;
The core will then check if the alignment required by the HCD driver
is compatible with the buffer alignment ensured by the USB driver.
If it doesn't, then the core would create a temporary buffer for the
transfers.
No idea about how easy/hard would be to implement something like
that.
In such case, it could make sense to generate a warning that
the driver should be fixed, or that the performance would
decrease due to double-buffering.
Thanks,
Mauro

That I am afraid was a mistake in a certain sense. This belongs into
usbcore. It does not belong into controller drivers or device drivers.

If you need it, you need it. Doing this in the device driver isn't any
less problematic in terms of performance. The only thing we can do
is do it in a central place to avoid code duplication.

And it is wrong. To be blunt: The important drivers are EHCI and XHCI.
We must not degrade performance with them for the sake of controllers
with less capabilities.

They do assume that.

For now that is the best. But even in the medium term this sucks.
At a minimum controller drivers need to export what they can do.

Wait a minute. Where does that assumption occur?
And exactly what is the assumption? Mauro wrote "the buffer can be
continuous", but that is certainly not what he meant.

What I meant to say is that drivers like the uvcdriver (and maybe network and
usb-storage drivers) may allocate a big buffer and get data there on some
random order, e. g.:
int get_from_buf_pos(char *buf, int pos, int size)
{
/* or an equivalent call to usb_submit_urb() */
usb_control_msg(..., buf + pos, size, ...);
}
some_function ()
{
...
chr *buf = kzalloc(4, GFP_KERNEL);
/*
* Access the bytes at the array on a random order, with random size,
* Like:
*/
get_from_buf_pos(buf, 2, 2); /* should read 0x56, 0x78 */
get_from_buf_pos(buf, 0, 2); /* should read 0x12, 0x34 */
/*
* the expected value for the buffer would be:
* { 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78 }
*/
E. g. they assume that the transfer URB can work with any arbitrary
pointer and size, without needing of pre-align them.
This doesn't work with HCD drivers like dwc2, as each USB_IN operation will
actually write 4 bytes to the buffer.
So, what happens, instead, is that each data transfer will get four
bytes. Due to a hack inside dwc2, with checks if the transfer_buffer
is DWORD aligned. So, the first transfer will do what's expected: it will
read 4 bytes to a temporary buffer, allocated inside the driver,
copying just two bytes to buf. So, after the first read, the
buffer content will be:
buf = { 0x00, x00, 0x56, 0x78 }
But, on the second read, it won't be using any temporary
buffer. So, instead of reading a 16-bits word (0x5678),
it will actually read 32 bits, with 16-bits with some random value,
causing a buffer overflow. E. g. buffer content will now be:
buf = { 0x12, x34, 0xde, 0xad }
In other words, the second transfer corrupted the data from the
first transfer.
Thanks,
Mauro

I'm pretty sure that usb-storage does not do this, at least, not when
operating in its normal Bulk-Only-Transport mode. It never tries to
read the results of an earlier transfer after carrying out a later
transfer to any part of the same buffer.

The uvcvideo driver does something similar. Given the size of the transfer a
bounce buffer shouldn't affect performances. Handling this in the USB core
sounds like the best solution to me.

The storage driver takes buffers as the block layer (or sg) provide
them, does it not?

Yes. But it does not read the data from an earlier transfer after
carrying out a later transfer on the same buffer.
The only possible example would be if the sense buffer for a command
occupied part of the same block as the data buffer. But this can't
happen, because the sense buffer is allocated separately by its own
