net: cdc_ncm: Reduce memory use when kernel memory low

2017-07-03T08:50:49+00:00

The CDC-NCM driver can require large amounts of memory to create skb's and this can be a problem when the memory becomes fragmented. This especially affects embedded systems that have constrained resources but wish to maximise the throughput of CDC-NCM with 16KiB NTB's. The issue is after running for a while the kernel memory can become fragmented and it needs compacting. If the NTB allocation is needed before the memory has been compacted the atomic allocation can fail which can cause increased latency, large re-transmissions or disconnections depending upon the data being transmitted at the time. This situation occurs for less than a second until the kernel has compacted the memory but the failed devices can take a lot longer to recover from the failed TX packets. To ease this temporary situation I modified the CDC-NCM TX path to temporarily switch into a reduced memory mode which allocates an NTB that will fit into a USB_CDC_NCM_NTB_MIN_OUT_SIZE (default 2048 Bytes) sized memory block and only transmit NTB's with a single network frame until the memory situation is resolved. Each time this issue occurs we wait for an increasing number of reduced size allocations before requesting a full size one to not put additional pressure on a low memory system. Once the memory is compacted the CDC-NCM data can resume transmitting at the normal tx_max rate once again. Signed-off-by: Jim Baxter Reviewed-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Felipe writes: usb: changes for v4.13 merge window This time around we have a total of 57 non-merge commits. A list of most important changes follows: - Improvements to dwc3 tracing interface - Initial dual-role support for dwc3 - Improvements to how we handle DMA resources in dwc3 - A new f_uac1 implementation which much more flexible - Removal of AVR32 bits - Improvements to f_mass_storage driver

usb: gadget: core: introduce ->udc_set_speed() method

2017-06-13T10:21:03+00:00

Sometimes, the gadget driver we want to run has max_speed lower than what the UDC supports. In such situations, UDC might want to make sure we don't try to connect on speeds not supported by the gadget driver (e.g. super-speed capable dwc3 with high-speed capable g_midi) because that will just fail. In order to make sure this situation never happens, we introduce a new optional ->udc_set_speed() method which can be implemented by interested UDC drivers. Signed-off-by: Felipe Balbi

usb: typec: Add a sysfs node to manage port type

2017-06-03T09:02:58+00:00

User space applications in some cases have the need to enforce a specific port type(DFP/UFP/DRP). This change allows userspace to attempt setting the desired port type. Low level drivers can however reject the request if the specific port type is not supported. Signed-off-by: Badhri Jagan Sridharan Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

usb: gadget: Allow a non-SuperSpeed gadget to support LPM

2017-06-02T08:22:32+00:00

This commit allows a gadget that does not support SuperSpeed to indicate that it supports LPM. It does this by setting the 'lpm_capable' flag in the gadget structure. If a gadget sets this, the composite gadget framework will set the bcdUSB to 0x0201 to indicate that this supports BOS descriptors, and also return a USB 2.0 Extension descriptor as part of the BOS descriptor set.
