Duncan Sands 0e42a627ec [PATCH] USBATM: shutdown open connections when disconnected
This patch causes vcc_release_async to be applied to any open
vcc's when the modem is disconnected.  This signals a socket
shutdown, letting the socket user know that the game is up.
I wrote this patch because of reports that pppd would keep
connections open forever when the modem is disconnected.
This patch does not fix that problem, but it's a step in the
right direction.  It doesn't help because the pppoatm module
doesn't yet monitor state changes on the ATM socket, so simply
never realises that the ATM connection has gone down (meaning
it doesn't tell the ppp layer).  But at least there is a socket
state change now.  Unfortunately this patch may create problems
for those rare users like me who use routed IP or some other
non-ppp connection method that goes via the ATM ARP daemon: the
daemon is buggy, and with this patch will crash when the modem
is disconnected.  Users with a buggy atmarpd can simply restart
it after disconnecting the modem.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
input/		- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
media/		- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
