    usb: devio: Add ioctl to disallow detaching kernel USB drivers. · d883f52e
    Reilly Grant authored
    The new USBDEVFS_DROP_PRIVILEGES ioctl allows a process to voluntarily
    relinquish the ability to issue other ioctls that may interfere with
    other processes and drivers that have claimed an interface on the
    device.
    
    This commit also includes a simple utility to be able to test the
    ioctl, located at Documentation/usb/usbdevfs-drop-permissions.c
    
    Example (with qemu-kvm's input device):
    
        $ lsusb
        ...
        Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0627:0001 Adomax Technology Co., Ltd
    
        $ usb-devices
        ...
        C:  #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=100mA
        I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=usbhid
    
        $ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
        OK: privileges dropped!
        Available options:
        [0] Exit now
        [1] Reset device. Should fail if device is in use
        [2] Claim 4 interfaces. Should succeed where not in use
        [3] Narrow interface permission mask
        Which option shall I run?: 1
        ERROR: USBDEVFS_RESET failed! (1 - Operation not permitted)
        Which test shall I run next?: 2
        ERROR claiming if 0 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        Which test shall I run next?: 0
    
    After unbinding usbhid:
    
        $ usb-devices
        ...
        I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=02 Driver=(none)
    
        $ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
        ...
        Which option shall I run?: 2
        OK: claimed if 0
        ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        Which test shall I run next?: 1
        OK: USBDEVFS_RESET succeeded
        Which test shall I run next?: 0
    
    After unbinding usbhid and restricting the mask:
    
        $ sudo ./usbdevfs-drop-permissions /dev/bus/usb/001/002
        ...
        Which option shall I run?: 3
        Insert new mask: 0
        OK: privileges dropped!
        Which test shall I run next?: 2
        ERROR claiming if 0 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 1 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 2 (1 - Operation not permitted)
        ERROR claiming if 3 (1 - Operation not permitted)
