2008-04-24USB: mass storage: emulation of sat scsi_pass_thru with ATACBmatthieu castet
I have got a cypress usb-ide bridge and I would like to tune or monitor my disk with tools like hdparm, hddtemp or smartctl. My controller support a way to send raw ATA command to the disk with something call atacb (see http://download.cypress.com.edgesuite.net/design_resources/datasheets/contents/cy7c68300c_8.pdf). Atacb support can be added for each application, but there is some disadvantages : - all application need to be patched - A race is possible if there other accesses, because the emulation can be split in 2 atacb scsi transactions. One for sending the command, one for reading the register (if ck_cond is set). I have implemented the emulation in usb-storage with a special proto_handler, and an unsual entry.

2007-10-18freezer: introduce freezer-friendly waiting macrosRafael J. Wysocki
Introduce freezer-friendly wrappers around wait_event_interruptible() and wait_event_interruptible_timeout(), originally defined in <linux/wait.h>, to be used in freezable kernel threads. Make some of the freezable kernel threads use them. This is necessary for the freezer to stop sending signals to kernel threads, which is implemented in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-10-12USB: allow usbstorage to have LUNS greater than 2TbRichard Sharpe
Attached is a very small patch (several comment lines) and a one-line coded change) that allows for USB storage devices that are larger than 2TB. At the company where I work we need such support, and one of my co-workers, Jane Liu, pointed out that SCSI low-layer drivers need to specify what size CDBs they accept. After looking through the code it became obvious that the current USB Storage code accepted the default of 12-byte CDBs, so I changed it to accept 16-byte CDBs. This allows our device to work.

2007-08-22usb-storage: fix bugs in the disconnect pathwayAlan Stern
This patch (as961) fixes a couple of bugs in the disconnect pathway of usb-storage. The first problem, which apparently has been around for a while although nobody noticed it, shows up when an aborted command is still pending when a disconnect occurs. The SCSI error-handler will continue to wait in command_abort() until the us->notify completion is signalled. Thus quiesce_and_remove_host() needs to signal it. The second problem was introduced recently along with autosuspend support. Since usb_stor_scan_thread() now calls usb_autopm_put_interface() before exiting, we can't simply leave the scanning thread running after a disconnect; we must wait until the thread exits. This is solved by adding a new struct completion to the private data structure. Fortuitously, it allows the removal of the rather clunky mechanism used in the past to insure that all threads have finished before the module is unloaded.

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-12USB: usb-storage: use kthread_stop() for the control threadAlan Stern
This patch (as923) makes usb-storage's control thread use kthread_should_stop()/kthread_stop(). The scanning thread can't be similarly converted until the core kthread implementation allows threads to call do_exit(). The advantage of this change is that we can now be certain the control thread has terminated before storage_disconnect() returns. This will simplify the locking requirements when autosuspend support is added.

2007-07-12USB: add reset_resume methodAlan Stern
This patch (as918) introduces a new USB driver method: reset_resume. It is called when a device needs to be reset as part of a resume procedure (whether because of a device quirk or because of the USB-Persist facility), thereby taking over a role formerly assigned to the post_reset method. As a consequence, post_reset no longer needs an argument indicating whether it is being called as part of a reset-resume. This separation of functions makes the code clearer. In addition, the pre_reset and post_reset method return types are changed; they now must return an error code. The return value is unused at present, but at some later time we may unbind drivers and re-probe if they encounter an error during reset handling. The existing pre_reset and post_reset methods in the usbhid, usb-storage, and hub drivers are updated to match the new requirements. For usbhid the post_reset routine is also used for reset_resume (duplicate method pointers); for the other drivers a new reset_resume routine is added. The change to hub.c looks bigger than it really is, because mark_children_for_reset_resume() gets moved down next to the new hub_reset_resume() routine. A minor change to usb-storage makes the usb_stor_report_bus_reset() routine acquire the host lock instead of requiring the caller to hold it already.

2007-07-12USB: add USB-Persist facilityAlan Stern
This patch (as886) adds the controversial USB-persist facility, allowing USB devices to persist across a power loss during system suspend. The facility is controlled by a new Kconfig option (with appropriate warnings about the potential dangers); when the option is off the behavior will remain the same as it is now. But when the option is on, people will be able to use suspend-to-disk and keep their USB filesystems intact -- something particularly valuable for small machines where the root filesystem is on a USB device!

This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore a device that it would otherwise claim. We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter (by ejecting the virtual disc). The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that usb-storage does not claim the device.

This patch adds another usb-storage subdriver, which supports two fairly old dual-XD/SmartMedia reader-writers (USB1.1 devices). This driver was written by Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> -- he notes that he wrote this driver without specs, however a vendor-supplied GPL driver for the previous generation of products ("sma03") did prove to be quite useful, as did the sddr09 driver which also has to deal with low-level physical block layout on SmartMedia. The original patch has been reformed by me, as it clashed with the libusual patches. We really need to consolidate some of this common SmartMedia code, and get together with the MTD guys to share it with them as well.

2005-10-28[PATCH] PATCH: usb-storage: move GetMaxLUN later in timeAlan Stern
This patch is originally from Alan Stern (as557). It has been re-diffed against a current tree, and I also corrected a minor merging error. Some time ago we introduced a delay before device scanning, because many devices do not like to receive SCSI commands right after enumeration. Now it turns out there's a device that doesn't like to receive Get-Max-LUN right after enumeration either. Accordingly this patch delays the Get-Max-LUN request until the beginning of the scanning procedure. This fixes Bugzilla entry #5010. Three things are worth noting. First, I removed the locking code from usb_stor_acquire_resources. It's not needed, because the locking is to protect against disconnect events and acquire_resources is only called during probe (so the disconnect routine can't be called). Second, I initialized to 0 the buffer used for the Get-Max-LUN response. It's not really necessary, but it will prevent random values from showing up in the debugging log when the request fails. Third, I added a test against the SINGLE_LUN flag. This will allow us to use the flag to indicate Bulk-only devices that can't handle Get-Max-LUN.

2005-09-12[PATCH] USB: storage: Fix messed-up lockingMatthew Dharm
This is patch as550 from Alan Stern. Apparently someone changed the SCSI core so that it no longer holds the host lock when doing a device or bus reset. usb-storage was updated at the time, but the change was done carelessly. Some of the code depends on that lock being held. This patch reintroduces the host lock where needed and tries to clarify the comments explaining why the lock is necessary. It also moves the code that clears the TIMED_OUT and ABORTING bitflags so that it executes as soon as the timed-out command has completed (and while the host lock is held).

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB Storage: close a race condition in disconnect near queuecommandMatthew Dharm
This patch started life as as534, and has been re-diffed against the latest tree. usb-storage has a small loophole, a window between the time queuecommand accepts a new command and the time the control thread starts to execute it. If disconnect is called during that window, the driver won't cancel the pending command -- we've been relying on the SCSI core to cancel it for us during host removal. But it's better for usb-storage to cancel it; this avoids races and reduces reliance on the SCSI core. Fortunately cancelling these commands is easy to do; the key is to do it _before_ calling scsi_remove_host.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB Storage: close a race condition in disconnect near probeMatthew Dharm
This patch started life as as533, and has been re-diffed against the current tree. Disconnect processing in usb-storage naturally divides into two parts: one to quiesce the driver (make sure no commands are executing or queued) and remove the host, and the other to deallocate all the USB and non-USB resources. This patch creates two subroutines to handle those two parts. Mostly it's just code movement, but there is one significant change. If the scsi-scanning thread fails to initialize but the host has successfully been added, we need to quiesce the driver before removing the host. After all, it's possible that scanning could have been initiated from somewhere else, such as userspace -- very low probability, but it's easily handled by calling the new subroutine.
