           Summary: Hang in dc395x driver
           Product: SCSI Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.31
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: DC395X
        AssignedTo: scsi_drivers-dc395x@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
        ReportedBy: ltskinol@gmail.com
        Regression: Yes


Kernel 2.6.31 and at least some earlier kernels.

I'm using an old Microtek ScanMaker flatbed scanner connected to a DC395x SCSI
card.

dc395x 0000:01:07.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC2] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
dc395x: Used settings: AdapterID=07, Speed=0(20.0MHz), dev_mode=0x57
dc395x:                AdaptMode=0x0f, Tags=4(16), DelayReset=1s
dc395x: Connectors: ext50  Termination: Auto Low High 
dc395x: Performing initial SCSI bus reset
scsi0 : Tekram DC395(U/UW/F), DC315(U) - ASIC TRM-S1040 v2.05, 2004/03/08
scsi 0:0:6:0: Scanner                    Scanner          1.80 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
CCS
scsi 0:0:6:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 6
sata_nv 0000:00:05.0: version 3.5

When scanning with xsane, after a few minutes I often get a hang in xsane and
if I forcibly kill xsane, the scanner is no longer there.  When the xsane hang
occurs, I see this:

dc395x: reselect: w/o disconnected cmds <06-0>
dc395x: disconnect: Unexpected reselection <06-0>

I'm not sure when this problem started, but it's somewhere in the 2.6.2x
region.

I'd be happy to recompile, test and debug if needed.

Thanks,
Tom

Retesting isn't necessary.  There have only been nine changes to that
driver in 2.6.2x.  The versions of interest (as in works/doesn't work)
should be

2.6.26 (should be identical to 2.6.31, so just a something else changed
sanity check)
2.6.25 (lots of pointless changes + sense buffer replacement)
2.6.34 (pid removal and sg chaining)
2.6.23 (accessors change)
2.6.22 (spelling only fix!)

I downloaded the .1 versions of kernel's 2.6.22 through 2.6.26, and
found that 2.6.25 and above had no changes in the dc395x.c file, but
that a variety of changes were introduced in 2.6.24 and below.  Since
the older dc395x.c doesn't drop into my current 2.6.31 kernel, I tried
recompiling and running 2.6.24 without success.  On Gentoo, the
current udev doesn't work with that older kernel, so things like
networking and X fail to run properly and I was unable to test the
scanner.  Suggestions?

You can use the command-line sane interface scanimage (from the sane-utils 
package).

Guennadi - good call.

I was able to go back to kernel 2.6.22.1 (through 2.6.25/24/23) and all
versions exhibit the same behavior.  With the command-line scanimage software,
I eventually see an error returned and the driver resets after a two minute
delay.

I've removed the regression flag from this bug, but still think there's a
problem.

Reopening.  Not obsolete.  Reproduceable in 3.5.3, which is what I'm using at
present.  (I can upgrade to a newer version if need-be.)

No need - there is one obscure bug fix in early 2013, but nothing else since
2010. You may be the only person on the planet who still uses one!

Could be.  Haven't found another inexpensive SCSI adapter.

I say the driver probably needs to get fixed or removed, though.  No point in
having it in the kernel giving folks false hope that it'll work!
