Revision 8204f8ddaafafcae074746fcf2a05a45e6827603 authored by Darrick J. Wong on 10 August 2017, 21:20:28 UTC, committed by Darrick J. Wong on 17 August 2017, 19:40:33 UTC
Way back when we established inode block-map redo log items, it was
discovered that we needed to prevent the VFS from evicting inodes during
log recovery because any given inode might be have bmap redo items to
replay even if the inode has no link count and is ultimately deleted,
and any eviction of an unlinked inode causes the inode to be truncated
and freed too early.

To make this possible, we set MS_ACTIVE so that inodes would not be torn
down immediately upon release.  Unfortunately, this also results in the
quota inodes not being released at all if a later part of the mount
process should fail, because we never reclaim the inodes.  So, set
MS_ACTIVE right before we do the last part of log recovery and clear it
immediately after we finish the log recovery so that everything
will be torn down properly if we abort the mount.

The "ohci-hcd" driver is a USB Host Controller Driver (HCD) that is derived
from the "usb-ohci" driver from the 2.4 kernel series.  The "usb-ohci" code
was written primarily by Roman Weissgaerber <weissg@vienna.at> but with
contributions from many others (read its copyright/licencing header).

It supports the "Open Host Controller Interface" (OHCI), which standardizes
hardware register protocols used to talk to USB 1.1 host controllers.  As
compared to the earlier "Universal Host Controller Interface" (UHCI) from
Intel, it pushes more intelligence into the hardware.  USB 1.1 controllers
from vendors other than Intel and VIA generally use OHCI.

Changes since the 2.4 kernel include

	- improved robustness; bugfixes; and less overhead
	- supports the updated and simplified usbcore APIs
	- interrupt transfers can be larger, and can be queued
	- less code, by using the upper level "hcd" framework
	- supports some non-PCI implementations of OHCI
	- ... more

The "ohci-hcd" driver handles all USB 1.1 transfer types.  Transfers of all
types can be queued.  That was also true in "usb-ohci", except for interrupt
transfers.  Previously, using periods of one frame would risk data loss due
to overhead in IRQ processing.  When interrupt transfers are queued, those
risks can be minimized by making sure the hardware always has transfers to
work on while the OS is getting around to the relevant IRQ processing.
