The device-managed allocation API doesn't work well with the life-cycle of device objects. Since ports have device objects allocated within, it can lead to situations where these devices need to stay around until after their parent pad controller has been unbound from its driver. The device-managed memory allocated for the port objects will, however, get freed when the pad controller unbinds from the driver. This can cause use-after-free errors down the road. Note that the device is deleted as part of the driver unbind operation, so there isn't much that can be done with it after that point, but the memory still needs to stay around to ensure none of the references are invalidated. One situation where this arises is when a VBUS supply is associated with a USB 2 or 3 port. When that supply is released using regulator_put() an SRCU call will queue the release of the device link connecting the port and the regulator after a grace period. This means that the regulator is going to keep on to the last reference of the port device even after the pad controller driver was unbound (which is when the memory backing the port device is freed). Fix this by allocating port objects using non-device-managed memory. Add release callbacks for these objects so that their memory gets freed when the last reference goes away. This decouples the port devices' lifetime from the "active" lifetime of the pad controller (i.e. the time during which the pad controller driver owns the device).

Devices are created for each port of the XUSB pad controller. Each USB 2 and USB 3 port can potentially have an associated VBUS power supply that needs to be removed when the device is removed. Since port devices never bind to a driver, the driver core will not get to perform the cleanup of device-managed resources that usually happens on driver unbind. Now, the driver core will also perform device-managed resource cleanup for driver-less devices when they are released. However, when a device link is created between the regulator and the port device, as part of regulator_get(), the regulator takes a reference to the port device and prevents it from being released unless regulator_put() is called, which will never happen. Avoid this by using the non-device-managed API and manually releasing the regulator reference when the port is unregistered. Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>

Add support for the XUSB pad controller found on Tegra194 SoCs. It is mostly similar to the same IP found on Tegra186, but the number of pads exposed differs, as do the programming sequences. Because most of the Tegra194 XUSB PADCTL registers definition and programming sequence are the same as Tegra186, Tegra194 XUSB PADCTL can share the same driver, xusb-tegra186.c, with Tegra186 XUSB PADCTL. Tegra194 XUSB PADCTL supports up to USB 3.1 Gen 2 speed, however, it is possible for some platforms have long signal trace that could not provide sufficient electrical environment for Gen 2 speed. This patch adds a "maximum-speed" property to usb3 ports which can be used to specify the maximum supported speed for any particular USB 3.1 port. For a port that is not capable of SuperSpeedPlus, "maximum-speed" property should carry "super-speed".

Mans Rullgard authored
When handling a PIO bulk transfer with highmem buffer, a temporary mapping is assigned to urb->transfer_buffer. After the transfer is complete, an invalid address is left behind in this pointer. This is not ordinarily a problem since nothing touches that buffer before the urb is released. However, when usbmon is active, usbmon_urb_complete() calls (indirectly) mon_bin_get_data() which does access the transfer buffer if it is set. To prevent an invalid memory access here, reset urb->transfer_buffer to NULL when finished (musb_host_rx()), or do not set it at all (musb_host_tx()).

drivers/usb/gadget/legacy/Kconfig creates a 'choice' inside another 'choice'. The outer choice: line 17 "USB Gadget precomposed configurations" The inner choice: line 484 "EHCI Debug Device mode" I wondered why the whole legacy gadget drivers reside in such a big choice block. This dates back to 2003, "[PATCH] USB: fix for multiple definition of `usb_gadget_get_string'". [1] At that time, the global function, usb_gadget_get_string(), was linked into multiple drivers. That was why only one driver was able to become built-in at the same time. Later, commit a84d9e53 ("usb: gadget: start with libcomposite") moved usb_gadget_get_string() to a separate module, libcomposite.ko instead of including usbstring.c from multiple modules. More and more refactoring was done, and after commit 1bcce939 ("usb: gadget: multi: convert to new interface of f_mass_storage"), you can link multiple gadget drivers into vmlinux without causing multiple definition error. This is the only user of the nested choice structure ever. Removing this mess will make some Kconfig cleanups possible.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertenly introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html [2] https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/21 [3] commit 76497732 ("cxgb3/l2t: Fix undefined behaviour") Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R.
