This patch introduces an interface authorization for USB devices. The kernel supports a device authorization because of wireless USB. But the new interface authorization allows to authorize or deauthorize individual interfaces instead authorization or deauthorize a whole device. Therefore the authorized attribute is introduced for each interface. Each patch depends on all patches with a lesser number. v5 was acked-by Alan Stern: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/127144 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/127151 Changes since v7: - Implemented suggestions from Alan Stern and Sergei Shtylyov Changes since v6: - Implemented suggestions from Alan Stern and Sergei Shtylyov Changes since v5: - Implemented suggestions from Greg K-H - Changed device authorization to save the default bit in the same flag as the interface authorization does this (recommended by Alan Stern http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/127086) Stefan Koch (7): usb: interface authorization: Declare authorized attribute usb: interface authorization: Introduces the default interface authorization usb: interface authorization: Control interface probing and claiming usb: interface authorization: Introduces the USB interface authorization usb: interface authorization: SysFS part of USB interface authorization usb: interface authorization: Documentation part usb: interface authorization: Use a flag for the default device authorization Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-usb | 22 ++++++++++ Documentation/usb/authorization.txt | 34 ++++++++++++++ drivers/usb/core/driver.c | 8 ++++ drivers/usb/core/hcd.c | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- drivers/usb/core/message.c | 39 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/usb/core/sysfs.c | 36 +++++++++++++++ drivers/usb/core/usb.c | 2 +- drivers/usb/core/usb.h | 2 + include/linux/usb.h | 1 + include/linux/usb/hcd.h | 9 +++- 10 files changed, 218 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 2.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
