RE: [PATCH] Getting ScanLogic USB-ATAPI Adapter to work

[Leif Sawyer]

Rene,

I think that while this patch may work for you, it's not the right way
to go about it.

Instead of changing the source for all devices that use transport.c,
you should create a flag (see usb.h), say US_FL_SLIDE_BUG, and set
it within the definition in unusual_devs.h

Then the logic in transport.c can check for that flag and work around
the bug as needed -- as not all storage devices will require that
workaround.

I'm in the process of recompiling my 2.5.2-pre9 kernel with the above
workaround to see if it solves my issues as well.  Unfortunately, my
device is at home, and I'm at work.  I'll post later tonight or tomorrow
morning my results.

Greg? Your opinions on the right way to work this?

Actually Matt is the right one to solicit opinions on this issue, as
he's the maintainer for this chunk of code and will have to live with
the patch :)

[PATCH] Getting ScanLogic USB-ATAPI Adapter to work

[Rene Engelhard]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 773 bytes --]

Hi Greg, hi Kernel-Hackers,

a long time ago I bought the Adapter mentioned above and got it
working.

Now, 6 months after that I bought it, my testing is over and I got the
result: The device is working by changing the usb-storage sources; this
has not affected any other thing. All my devices (3 of USB) runs perfectly.

So I send you this patch.

It's against 2.5.2-pre9 and the patch from Alan with the comment that
you need SCSI Support is applied in my tree, so this is needed before
applying this patch (but I saw you did it Greg, you can do this)

Because of testing this patch 6 months, I do not consider to say that
this patch is experimental, so I did not write $CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL at
the end of the dep_mbool statement.

I have attached it to this mail.

Rene

I sent a patch to unusual_devs.h but didn't get any response yet.
I need to set "CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y" and use the second device for 
CompactFlash.
No other needed change here:


UNUSUAL_DEV(  0x04ce, 0x0002, 0x0074, 0x0074,
                "ScanLogic",

                US_FL_FIX_INQUIRY),

Yes, I saw it in the unusual_devs.h in 2.5.2-pre8 and above but it
does not help to get my mentioned device working.

My patch does.

I sent a fool-proof patch to the MAINTAINER 6 (nine!) months before and
discussed this on usb-devel. The MAINTAINER has chosen to reject
this patch (for private discussions whith the manufacturer about standards
comliance) and leave users alone ! Although I proposed to him to disable
all QUIRKS and Worksarounds for buggy hardware in his tree and see if the
system still is running he stayed stubborn. As UNUSUAL_DEVS is quite
large he is inconsequent for no apparent reason.

P.S. Please use this patch:
- Don't bloat Config.in with with unnecessary decisions, just fix the bugger
  automatically.
- Be non-intrusive to other devices.

Gunther --

  Your patch is out of date.  But yesterday I posted practically the
same patch for the workaround using the current kernel defines. This patch
was tested across multiple platforms and devices and shown to work.
(caveat -- one cdrw is still having issues, but that is orthagonal to the
 patch)

Also, the unusual_devs.h  device definition will not work.  See my
patch for the multiple devices and their different requirements.
Your patch would break nearly everybody's equipment.

do not apply gunther's patch, please.

I'm not applying any patch, unless Matt (the usb-storage maintainer)
says it is ok to do so :)
