Did ide-scsi break again?

           Summary: my scsi emulated cdrom is locked
    Kernel Version: 2.6.3 (final)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
             Owner: io_other@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
         Submitter: cerebro84@vodafone.it


Distribution: Mandrake 9.2 
Hardware Environment: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8160B 
Software Environment: KDE 3.2, K3B 
Problem Description: I changed from kernel 2.6.2rc3 to 2.6.3final and I had 
this problem: my cdrom reader stopped to work. Everytime I try to access it my 
system freezes; I had to disable scsi emulation in order to let it work. 
 
Steps to reproduce: Ehm, buy an HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8160B, enable scsi emulation 
and try to mount it!

Well, since ide-scsi.c didn't change between 2.6.2rc3 and 2.6.3 it cannot by
itself be the cause of this bug.

On the other hand, I wish it had changed; I have had a proposed update to 
ide-scsi's error handling out for review for some time, see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107246268217888&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=107443923827330&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107558923328533&w=2

If there are no comments on it, perhaps it can be given some exposure (e.g. in
-mm patches) to get user feedback?

For the record, even with those changes, it is _not_ recommended to use scsi
emulation for cd type drives. They are supported directly by the ide subsystem.

Regards, Willem Riede.

I think Jens was digging himself in the ribs over this.

If you have a patch you want tested then sure, sling it across.

Yeah... William, send the last patch you had without any style cleanups
to Andrew. There's no reason it can't sit in -mm for a little while,
while getting reviewed.
