Description Jean-Philippe GONZALEZ 2011-11-10 00:04:07 UTC 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1

I'm using flawlessly an integrated SD/MMC card reader since several releases of Fedora. The card reader is a part of a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop.

Since 2.6.40 kernel on Fedora 15, and with the latest 3.1 kernel on Fedora 16, the card reader is correctly detected with lspci, but nothing happens when a card is inserted on the reader.

Nothing is indicated with dmesg after inserting the card.

When I was on Fedora 15, a reboot of the system on an older kernel (2.6.38) gives a fully functionnal card reader.

Same behavior with another distro based on the kernel 3.0.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system with a recent kernel (>2.6.38)
2. Insert a SD/Card on the reader.



For more precisions, lspci gives :

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2011-11-11 14:11:58 UTC 
Can you attach the dmesg output from the machine, as well as lsmod?  As far as I know, the sdhci_pci module should be loaded and binding to the device.

dmesg output
Comment 4 Jean-Philippe GONZALEZ 2011-11-12 01:23:20 UTC 
Thanks for your interest.

Requested outputs are attached. The sdhci_pci module seems to be correctly loaded.
Comment 5 Ricardo Funke Ormieres 2011-11-18 14:12:20 UTC 
Same for me, same notebook
Comment 6 trollofdarkness 2011-11-20 14:32:46 UTC 
The same ! Same notebook and exactly same issue : nothing happens, even in dmesg output and in /var/log/messages, just nothing. But lspci displays the device and says :

        Kernel driver in use: sdhci-pci
        Kernel modules: sdhci-pci


So... wtf ?

Thanks in advance.
Comment 7 trollofdarkness 2011-11-20 14:42:55 UTC 
It seems the issue is not FC16-specific but is related to the kernel, users on Gentoo reported to have same issue : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-878603-start-0.html
Comment 8 Jean-Philippe GONZALEZ 2011-11-20 15:13:36 UTC 
Yes, I've tested with Ubuntu Oneiric, same problem.

I will test with the latest opensuse to check one more time, but I've no doubt that it is an upstream kernel regression.
Comment 9 trollofdarkness 2011-11-20 16:00:18 UTC 
I found a thread on the kernel mailing list that is from February, 2011. They seemed to be working on a patch... But maybe it's been forgotten by the time.

Do you happen to have that link handy?
Comment 11 Jean-Philippe GONZALEZ 2011-11-26 00:12:20 UTC 
I tested with the latest opensuse livecd, based on the 3.1.0. Same bug.
It is not a Fedora relative bug, it is an upstream regression.

Otherwise, I searched all over February on LKML, but I haven't found any trace of a thread about this bug.

What can I do now ?
Comment 12 trollofdarkness 2011-11-26 12:12:21 UTC 
Hello,

Maybe I am not right but I think this thread is about the same thing : https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/6/144

I also found another thread dealing with sdhci : http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1336235


Hope this will help.
Comment 13 Josh Boyer 2012-02-29 18:18:13 UTC 
Do you still have this issue with the 3.2.7 or newer kernels?
Comment 14 Ricardo Funke Ormieres 2012-03-01 16:07:43 UTC 
I will test it and answer you... sorry can't answer right now
Comment 15 Jean-Philippe GONZALEZ 2012-03-02 22:44:31 UTC 
Bug seems to be solved since several releases.

Everything is OK with the latest 3.2.7-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel.
Comment 16 Josh Boyer 2012-03-02 23:13:09 UTC 
Thank you Jean-Philippe
Comment 17 trollofdarkness 2012-03-03 15:04:38 UTC 
Hello,

As to myself, SD Card Reader still does not work.

The only thing that seems to have changed in that now dmesg displays a message when I put a card in the reader : 

[ 8362.149881] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
[ 8362.257267] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card

My kernel is 3.1.8-2 under Fedora 16 64 bits.
Comment 18 Jean-Philippe GONZALEZ 2012-03-06 00:25:52 UTC 
Hi,

Did you tried to update your kernel ?

Yours is not up to date. It works since recent release (at least 3.2.x but I'm not sure).
Comment 19 Ricardo Funke Ormieres 2012-03-20 22:14:23 UTC 
Ok, tested! Now is working fine for me.

Kernel version: 3.2.11

Thank you.
