MEMBERS
name
The driver name should be unique among USB drivers, and should
normally be the same as the module name.
probe
Called to see if the driver is willing to manage a particular
interface on a device. If it is, probe returns zero and uses
usb_set_intfdata to associate driver-specific data with the
interface. It may also use usb_set_interface to specify the
appropriate altsetting. If unwilling to manage the interface,
return -ENODEV, if genuine IO errors occurred, an appropriate
negative errno value.
disconnect
Called when the interface is no longer accessible, usually because
its device has been (or is being) disconnected or the driver module
is being unloaded.
unlocked_ioctl
Used for drivers that want to talk to userspace through the “usbfs”
filesystem. This lets devices provide ways to expose information to
user space regardless of where they do (or don't) show up otherwise
in the filesystem.
suspend
Called when the device is going to be suspended by the system
either from system sleep or runtime suspend context. The return
value will be ignored in system sleep context, so do NOT try to
continue using the device if suspend fails in this case. Instead,
let the resume or reset-resume routine recover from the failure.
resume
Called when the device is being resumed by the system.
reset_resume
Called when the suspended device has been reset instead of being
resumed.
pre_reset
Called by usb_reset_device when the device is about to be reset.
This routine must not return until the driver has no active URBs
for the device, and no more URBs may be submitted until the
post_reset method is called.
post_reset
Called by usb_reset_device after the device has been reset
id_table
USB drivers use ID table to support hotplugging. Export this with
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(usb,...). This must be set or your driver's
probe function will never get called.
dynids
used internally to hold the list of dynamically added device ids
for this driver.
drvwrap
Driver-model core structure wrapper.
no_dynamic_id
if set to 1, the USB core will not allow dynamic ids to be added to
this driver by preventing the sysfs file from being created.
supports_autosuspend
if set to 0, the USB core will not allow autosuspend for interfaces
bound to this driver.
disable_hub_initiated_lpm
if set to 0, the USB core will not allow hubs to initiate lower
power link state transitions when an idle timeout occurs.
Device-initiated USB 3.0 link PM will still be allowed.
soft_unbind
if set to 1, the USB core will not kill URBs and disable endpoints
before calling the driver's disconnect method.
DESCRIPTION
USB interface drivers must provide a name, probe and disconnect
methods, and an id_table. Other driver fields are optional.
The id_table is used in hotplugging. It holds a set of descriptors, and
specialized data may be associated with each entry. That table is used
by both user and kernel mode hotplugging support.
The probe and disconnect methods are called in a context where they can
sleep, but they should avoid abusing the privilege. Most work to
connect to a device should be done when the device is opened, and
undone at the last close. The disconnect code needs to address
concurrency issues with respect to open and close methods, as well as
forcing all pending I/O requests to complete (by unlinking them as
necessary, and blocking until the unlinks complete).
