Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B chip, including the LinkSys USB10T, the
Entrega NET-USB-E45, the Peracom USB Ethernet Adapter, the 3Com
3c19250 and the ADS Technologies USB-10BT. This device is 10mbs
half-duplex only, so there's miibus or ifmedia support. This device
also requires firmware to be loaded into it, however KLSI allows
redistribution of the firmware images (I specifically asked about
this; they said it was ok).
Special thanks to Annelise Anderson for getting me in touch with
KLSI (eventually) and thanks to KLSI for providing the necessary
programming info.
Highlights:
- Add driver files to /sys/dev/usb
- update usbdevs and regenerate attendate files
- update usb_quirks.c
- Update HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT for i386 and alpha
- Update LINT, GENERIC and others for i386, alpha and pc98
- Add man page
- Add module
- Update sysinstall and userconfig.c

to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.
Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.
Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.
Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.
Highlights:
- Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part.
- Updated usbdevs and regenerated generated files
- Updated HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT files
- Updated sysinstall/device.c and userconfig.c
- Updated kernel configs -- device aue0 is commented out by default
- Updated /sys/conf/files
- Added new kld module directory
- In uhci_intr() check to see if sc->sc_bus.bdev is NULL, and if it is,
ack any pending interrupts and disable them, then return. It is possible
for interrupts to be delivered the moment a handler is set up at attach
time in uhci_pci.c, particularly when attempting to kldload the usb.ko
module after the system is already up. However the driver isn't ready
to field interrupts at that time and certain pointers in the softc
struct aren't initialized yet, and we invariably end up falling off
the end of one of them. The effect is that kldloading the usb module
will panic the system in uhci_intr(). This added sanity check stops
this from happening: I can now kldload the usb.ko module without any
problems and load/attach other USB drivers after it.
Of course the uhci driver has no detach method, but that's another
problem.
- In uhci_run(), set the UHCI_CMD_MAXP bit in the command register to
allow 64-byte packets to be used for full speed bandwidth reclamation.
Certain high speed devices (in this case the ADMtek USB ethernet
adapter) require this bit to be set, otherwise babble errors occur
at the end of large (between 1100 and 1500 byte) transfers. This
should not affect other devices, although supposedly it is less efficient
than the 32-byte setting. Unfortunately, this is a per-bus setting,
not a per-device setting, so we can't just enable it for certain
devices on the USB bus.
device_add_child_ordered(). 'ivars' may now be set using the
device_set_ivars() function.
This makes it easier for us to change how arbitrary data structures are
associated with a device_t. Eventually we won't be modifying device_t
to add additional pointers for ivars, softc data etc.
Despite my best efforts I've probably forgotten something so let me know
if this breaks anything. I've been running with this change for months
and its been quite involved actually isolating all the changes from
the rest of the local changes in my tree.

The OHCI driver just presets this to 1.0 as it is not specified in the
PCI registers anywhere. This should be revisited once USB 2.0 is in
wide spread use.
are queued. Traverse the queues vertically and then horizontally.
This means that TDs for one xfer are transmitted back to back until the
first NAK or error condition. Up to now we transmitted a TD per frame
and transmitted the next TD in the next frame.
The old approach is more fair if you have the end of the queue point at
the beginning of the control transfer queue, but also a lot more overhead
due to the fact that the QHs have to be read more often.
The new approach squirts the packets down the line as fast as possible
for one transfer and then does the next one. In the current situation,
with fairly empty USB buses, this is a more sensible approach. We might
have to revisit the scheduler later however.
It speeds up large transfers (Zip drive, Host-To-Host adapters) on UHCI
by a factor of 5 and makes it as fast as OHCI on the bus.
The next problem to solve is the question why the limit is 300kb/s and
not 1000/kb/s (kb == kilobyte).
- more req[uest]->xfer changes.
- get the corresponding NetBSD Id's right
ohci.c
- move untimeout above print statement
- remove usb_delay that panics the system (tsleep in intr context) when
ohcidebug > 5.
ugen.c
- create the devices for endpoints with make_dev.
uhub.c
- change from using usbdebug to uhubdebug
- add more debugging statements
and shiny usbd daemon to handle events.
usb_port.h:
- Add a macro to retrieve the unit number from a USBBASEDEVICE
usb.h, usb_subr.c:
- Add fields to the device_info struct.
usb_subr.c:
- Fill in the new fields.
- Remove the notification of the event up a bit to make sure all the
information is still available to fill the usb_devinfo struct.
This requires recompilation of usbdevs (src/usr.sbin/usbdevs) and the
ezdownload/ezupload (ports/misc/ezload) utilities in any case.
Cleaning up the code:
- Declare many functions static
- Change variable names to make them more self explanatory
- Change usbd_request_handle -> usbd_xfer_handle
- Syntactical changes
- Remove some unused code
- Other KNF changes
Interrupt context handling
- Change delay to usbd_delay_ms were possible (takes polling mode into
account)
- Change detection mechanism for interrupt context
Add support for pre-allocation DMA-able memory by device driver
Add preliminary support for isochronous to the UHCI driver (not for OHCI
yet).
usb.c, uhci.c, ohci.c
- Initial attempt at detachable USB host controllers
- Handle the use_polling flag with a lttle more care and only set it if
we are cold booting.
usb.c, uhci.c ohci.c, usbdi.c usbdi_util.c usb_subr.c
- Make sure an aborted pipe is marked as not running.
- Start queued request in the right order.
- Insert some more DIAGNOSTIC sanity checks.
- Remove (almost) unused definitions USBD_XFER_OUT and USBD_XFER_IN.
usb.c, usb_subr.c
- Add an event mechanism so that a userland process can watch devices
come and go.
ohci.c
- Handle the case when a USB transfer is so long that it crosses two
page (4K) boundaries. OHCI cannot do that with a single TD so we make
a chain.
ulpt.c
- Use a bigger buffer when transferring data.
- Pre-allocate the DMA buffer. This makes the driver slightly more
efficient.
- Comment out the GET_DEVICE_ID code, because for some unknown reason it
causes printing to fail sometimes.
usb.h
- Add a macro to extract the isoc type.
- Add a macro to check whether the routine has been entered after splusb
and if not, complain.
usbdi.c
- Fix a glitch in dequeueing and aborting requests on interrupt pipes.
- Add a flag in the request to determine if the data copying is done by
the driver or the usbdi layer.
Rename a few (I wish companies would stop buying each other)
Add a quirk entry for hubs that say they are self powered but are
in fact bus powered (usage in uhub follows shortly).
condition for Short transfers.
Change the scheduling to Depth first. We now transfer as many TD's as
possible from QH before moving to the next queue (Breadth first). It should
still be verified that this does not lead to starvation in a busy system
(in the case were transfers are added to the beginning of the control
or bulk queues).
It however posts a bogus button up event once in a while. Whenever
we receive dx=dy=dz=buttons=0 we postpone adding it to the queue for
50msecs with a timeout. If in the meantime something else is posted
the event is ignored.
This avoids the problem Nik Sayer reported. He noticed that X windows
would drop and pick up a window once in a while.
Thanks, Nik, for supplying me with the keyboard to fix the problem!
- Some cleanup and improvements in the uhci and ohci drivers
- Support for plugging and unplugging devices improved
- Now available is bulk transport over OHCI controllers
- Resume and suspend have been temporarily been disabled again. Proper
support for it is available in the uhci.c and ohci.c files but I have
not yet spent the brain cycles to use it.

Remove the use of ukbd_disconnect and replace it with direct
calls to disable.
Change printf to DPRINTF
Remove the use of usbd_lock, change it to splusb()/splx()
