Description Casimiro de Almeida Barreto 2004-04-29 16:51:25 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.6)

Description of problem:
Attaching a ZIP CD-RW 640 to any USB port (direct, not via hub),
usb_storage identifies correctly the device. It is registered to
/dev/sr0 and /dev/scd0. But IT IS NOT registered to /dev/sg0.

This way, it is possible to mount and read CD's in this driver, but it
is not possible to write CDs.

When a short-cut is tried, such as: cdrecord dev=/dev/scd0, we get the
following:

[root@200-207-17-55 TRACKS]# cdrecord dev=/dev/scd0 -raw16 -overburn
-v *cd1*

Ant then, the debug message is:

And I have the following situation in /proc/...

When I dump /proc/bus/usb/devices I get:

Then, when I dump /proc/scsi/scsi I get:

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IOMEGA   Model: ZIPCD 650 USB    Rev: P1.9
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Yet, when I dump /proc/scsi/usb_storage/0 I get:

   Host scsi0: usb-storage
       Vendor: Iomega
      Product: USB Zip CD
Serial Number: 00000000000000000000
     Protocol: Transparent SCSI
    Transport: Bulk
       Quirks:

But all entries in /proc/scsi/sg are empty !!!

So, let's go to /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/

detach-state: 0
model: ZIPCD 650 USB
max-sectors: 240
queue-depth: 1
Rev: P1.9
scsi_level: 3
state: running
type: 5
vendor: IOMEGA

And I have a "block" symbolic link block ->
../../../../../../../../block/sr0 (that means nothing ...) and so on,
so forth.
Notice that there is not a char symlink to point to ...sg
sg directories have only empty entries...



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.5-1.327

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system with usb_core enabled and uhci_hcd enabled
2. cdrecord (or any other operation using /dev/sg by default)
3. 
    

Actual Results:  Error is issued about "no devices identifyied at
/dev/sg0 and /dev/pg0

Expected Results:  Clean access to drive

Additional info:

Never try to boot with the unity attached and a clean CD inside: kudzu
locks...

Comment 1 Jürgen Botz 2004-04-29 18:47:23 UTC
Me too.

Same thing except I'm using a USB Plextor CD-RW.  sg doesn't seem to
see any devices.

Comment 2 Casimiro de Almeida Barreto 2004-05-01 13:48:49 UTC
Bug is not present in kernel 2.6.6-rc3-bk2 from www.kernel.org. My
humble suggestion: get the correct code and inserti it inside kernel
2.6.5-1.327...


Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2004-05-01 14:12:49 UTC
but the $5m question is if you actually can burn with the kernel.org
kernel, not jsut if sg sees the device... :)

Comment 4 Casimiro de Almeida Barreto 2004-05-01 16:31:13 UTC
It records, but not without its pains.

sg is not really stable: you need to start the driver with a valid
recorded CD in (otherwise it won't recognise the unity or, worse, if
you try to run KUDZU it will crash the SO (freeze) and the only
solution is the Microsoft solution (the reset key :) ).

Timing are also much more critical than in rh9: buffer underruns seems
to happen much more frequently.

Anyways, I think that it is a start for generating patch code.

Comment 5 Arjan van de Ven 2004-05-03 10:19:02 UTC
one culprit has been identified; cdrecord seems to try to set a IO
size of 255 sectors while USB in those kernels can do 240 maximum. SG
ignores that setting but may blow up later when you actually try to do
255; SG_IO will refuse the setting in the first place.

kernel 349 in http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6 has the USB maximum
transfersize increased to 255 so that burning should be more reliable.
(the fact remains that cdrecord somehow tries 255 while this is very
much the wrong number because the kernel should have said 240)


Comment 6 Casimiro de Almeida Barreto 2004-05-28 04:08:45 UTC
Ok,

With kernel 2.6.6 I am able to write CDs on /dev/sg0. A fact brought
me some light: when I cause an IO event (for instance an X-Windows IO
event like moving a window or clicking a button) recording crashes...

Either the interrupts are slowing buffer transfer and we get recording
buffers running out or we have other problems with the interrupt
interface...
