Hi All,
I recently plonked a dvd into my usb-attached Pioneer DVR-107d only to find
that the current kernels no longer saw the drive as DVD capable. In fact, the
kernel no longer saw _any_ features of the drive: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/0x
caddy. After much bisecting and even more blind luck I narrowed the problem
down to this commit:
commit bdb2b8cab4392ce41ddfbd6773a3da3334daf836
Author: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Date: Tue Jun 24 14:03:14 2008 -0400
[SCSI] erase invalid data returned by device
This patch (as1108) fixes a problem that can occur with certain USB
mass-storage devices: They return invalid data together with a residue
indicating that the data should be ignored. Rather than leave the
invalid data in a transfer buffer, where it can get misinterpreted,
the patch clears the invalid portion of the buffer.
This solves a problem (wrong write-protect setting detected) reported
by Maciej Rutecki and Peter Teoh.
Regards
Mike

If this affected your device then the device must not report residues correctly. If you provide the device's entry in /proc/bus/usb/devices, I'll write a patch adding a blacklist entry for it. It would help if you could also provide a usbmon trace showing what happens when you plug the drive in. Instructions are in the kernel source file Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.

The drive sent back 72 bytes followed by a residue of 128, indicating that none of the data was valid. Presumably the data really was valid and the residue should have been 56. On the other hand, we have never had any other reports of invalid residues from a Genesys Logic controller. Maybe the error actually came from the attached Pioneer drive instead of the controller; there's no way to tell unless you attach a different kind of drive to the controller. Anyway, this patch may fix the problem. Let me know what happens with it. I'm a little hesitant to add it to the kernel, because of the significant probability that the Genesys Logic controller itself is okay. Starting with 2.6.29 you'll be able to add special flags like this at runtime without the need for any patches, by means of a module parameter for usb-storage.

I've now tested two other DVD writers in this adapter without the patch - one LG and the other a much newer Pioneer. Both exhibit the identical symptoms. > Anyway, this patch may fix the problem.

The patch worked flawlessly with all devices I tested it on. I also tested a HDD in the cradle to ensure there were no obvious regressions in that regard, it too worked as it should. > Starting with 2.6.29 you'll be able to add special flags like this at > runtime without the need for any patches, by means of a module > parameter for usb-storage. If you do decide to commit the change to the kernel, any chance you could mark it for the stable releases? Cheers Mike ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
