b375a0495f [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."

Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."

Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

81065e2f41 [PATCH] zd1201 kmalloc size fix
Noticed by Coverity checker.

(akpm: I stole this from Greg's tree and used the (IMO) tidier sizeof(*p)
construct).

Gigabyte GN-WLBZ201 wifi usb dongle works very well, using the zd1201
driver. the only missing part is that the corresponding usbid is not
declared. The following patch should fix this.

f58f97fa9d [PATCH] USB: check for device in zd1201_resume
My patch adding PM support for zd1201 didn't check for the device on
resume, which can oops if the device has been removed.

This patch fixes it.

a3c900bb8c [PATCH] USB: PM support for zd1201
This patch enables power management (suspend, resume) support for zd1201.
It fixes problems after wakeup for me, but these problems did not appear
everytime without this patch.  it's a bit empirical, based on what the
usbnet does, so maybe not correct...  Maybe someone can give it a look
before it's applied.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
