Message-Id: <1352027793-6608-1-git-send-email-ming.lei@canonical.com> Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2012 19:16:28 +0800 From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...onical.com> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> Cc: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.de>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-usb@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] usbnet: avoiding access auto-suspended device Thip patchset avoids accessing auto-suspended device in ioctl path, which is generally triggered by some network utility(ethtool, ifconfig, ...) Most of network devices have the problem, but as discussed in the thread: http://marc.info/?t=135054860600003&r=1&w=2 the problem should be solved inside driver. Considered that only smsc75xx and smsc95xx calls usbnet_read_cmd() and usbnet_write_cmd() inside its resume and suspend callback, the patcheset introduce the nopm version of the two functions which should be called only in the resume and suspend callback. So we can solve the problem by runtime resuming device before doing control message things. The patchset is against 3.7.0-rc3-next-20121102, and has been tested OK on smsc95xx usbnet device. Change logs: V2: - rebased on the latest net-next tree, only 2/5 changed V1: - rebased on 3.7.0-rc3-next-20121102, only patch 4/5 changed - fix one memory leak during smsc95xx_suspend, patch 3/5 added drivers/net/usb/smsc75xx.c | 147 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- drivers/net/usb/smsc95xx.c | 146 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++-- include/linux/usb/usbnet.h | 4 ++ 4 files changed, 255 insertions(+), 114 deletions(-) Thanks, -- Ming Lei -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
