USB: EHCI: fix performance regression
This patch (as1099) fixes a performance regression in ehci-hcd. The
fundamental problem is that queue headers get removed from the
schedule too quickly, since the code checks for a counter advancing
rather than making an actual time-based check. The latency involved
in removing the queue header and then relinking it can severely
degrade certain kinds of workloads.
The patch replaces a simple counter with a timestamp derived from the
controller's uframe value. In addition, the delay for unlinking an
idle queue header is increased from 5 ms to 10 ms; since some
controllers (nVidia) have a latency of up to 1 ms for unlinking, this
reduces the relative impact from 20% to 10%.
Finally, a logical error left over from the IAA watchdog-timer
conversion is corrected. Now the driver will always either unlink an
idle queue header or set up a timer to unlink it later. The old code
would sometimes fail to do either.

USB: EHCI: fix bug in Iso scheduling
This patch (as1098) changes the way ehci-hcd schedules its periodic
Iso transfers. That the current scheduling code is wrong is clear on
the face of it: Sometimes it returns -EL2NSYNC (meaning that an URB
couldn't be scheduled because it was submitted too late), but it does
this even when the URB_ISO_ASAP flag is set (meaning the URB should be
scheduled as soon as possible).
The new code properly implements as-soon-as-possible scheduling,
assigning the next unexpired slot as the URB's starting point. It
also is more careful about checking for Iso URB completion: It doesn't
bother to check for activity during frames that are already over,
and it allows for the possibility that some of the URB's packets may
have raced the hardware when they were submitted and so never got used
(the packet status is set to -EXDEV).
This fixes problems several people have experienced with USB video
applications.

USB: fix possible deadlock involving sysfs attributes
There is a potential deadlock when the usb_generic driver is unbound
from a device. The problem is that generic_disconnect() is called
with the device lock held, and it removes a bunch of device attributes
from sysfs. If a user task happens to be running an attribute method
at the time, the removal will block until the method returns. But at
least one of the attribute methods (the store routine for power/level)
needs to acquire the device lock!
This patch (as1093) eliminates the deadlock by moving the calls to
create and remove the sysfs attributes from the usb_generic driver
into usb_new_device() and usb_disconnect(), where they can be invoked
without holding the device lock.
Besides, the other sysfs attributes are created when the device is
registered and removed when the device is unregistered. So it seems
only fitting for the extra attributes to be created and removed at the
same time.

timer_to_tid[] array of type "u8") through "int *" typecast which
may also yield unwanted bytes for the MSB of TID that results
in incorrect sta_info and ieee80211_local pointers.
ieee80211_local pointer is NULL as illustrated below, it crashes in
sta_info_get(). The problem started when extracting ieee80211_local
pointer out of sta_info iteself and eventually crashed in
stat_info_get().
The proper way to fix is to change the data type of TID to u8
instead of u16. However changing all the occurences requires
some prototype changes as well. We should fix this in upcoming
patches.

Currently it uses a single static char array, but that risks
being corrupted when multiple users issue message notes at the

The default max message size of 1k is also very large, the
interface is mainly for small text notes. So shrink it to 128 bytes.
