wpaul 2f2f7359cc Arrgh. Recently I tried using ugen(4) in an application that uses
select(2), and discovered to my horror that ugen(4)'s bulk in/out support
is horribly lobotomized. Bulk transfers are done using the synchronous
API instead of the asynchronous one. This causes the following broken
behavior to occur:

- You open the bulk in/out ugen device and get a descriptor
- You create some other descriptor (socket, other device, etc...)
- You select on both the descriptors waiting until either one has
  data ready to read
- Because of ugen's brokenness, you block in usb_bulk_transfer() inside
  ugen_do_read() instead of blocking in select()
- The non-USB descriptor becomes ready for reading, but you remain blocked
  on select()
- The USB descriptor becomes ready for reading
- Only now are you woken up so that you can ready data from either
  descriptor.

The result is select() can only wake up when there's USB data pending. If
any other descriptor becomes ready, you lose: until the USB descriptor
becomes ready, you stay asleep.

The correct approach is to use async bulk transfers, so I changed
the read code to use the async bulk transfer API. I left the write
side alone for now since it's less of an issue.

Note that the uscanner driver has the same brokenness in it.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
