Alan Stern 7dbd8f4cab USB: dummy-hcd: Fix erroneous synchronization change
A recent change to the synchronization in dummy-hcd was incorrect.
The issue was that dummy_udc_stop() contained no locking and therefore
could race with various gadget driver callbacks, and the fix was to
add locking and issue the callbacks with the private spinlock held.

UDC drivers aren't supposed to do this.  Gadget driver callback
routines are allowed to invoke functions in the UDC driver, and these
functions will generally try to acquire the private spinlock.  This
would deadlock the driver.

The correct solution is to drop the spinlock before issuing callbacks,
and avoid races by emulating the synchronize_irq() call that all real
UDC drivers must perform in their ->udc_stop() routines after
disabling interrupts.  This involves adding a flag to dummy-hcd's
private structure to keep track of whether interrupts are supposed to
be enabled, and adding a counter to keep track of ongoing callbacks so
that dummy_udc_stop() can wait for them all to finish.

A real UDC driver won't receive disconnect, reset, suspend, resume, or
setup events once it has disabled interrupts.  dummy-hcd will receive
them but won't try to issue any gadget driver callbacks, which should
be just as good.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
