2006-03-20[PATCH] USB: ub 03 drop stall clearingPete Zaitcev
Matt mentioned that a very old ZIP-100 actually does need this, but I am yet to see anyone who actually has one still working and uses ub with it. He/she must be a retrocomputing geek, who can easily bias it to usb-storage with libusual, if needed. Meanwhile, common folks have trouble with poorly designed USB keys and some el-cheapo European music players. I think we better drop this for now.

2006-03-20[PATCH] USB: ub 02 remove diagPete Zaitcev
Remove the "diag" file from the sysfs. The usbmon is good enough these days so I do not need this feature anymore. Also, sysfs is a pain. Al Viro caught a race in this, which I thought too bothersome to fix. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-01-31[PATCH] USB: ub 05 Bulk resetPete Zaitcev
For crying out loud, they have devices which do not like port resets. So, do what usb-storage does and try both bulk and port resets. We start with a port reset (which usb-storage does at the end of transport), then do a Bulk reset, then a port reset again. This seems to work for me. The code is getting dirtier and dirtier here, but I swear that I'll do something about it (see those two new XXX). Honest.

2006-01-31[PATCH] USB: ub 04 Loss of timer and a hangPete Zaitcev
If SCSI commands are submitted while other commands are still processed, the dispatch loop turns, and we stop the work_timer. Then, if URB fails to complete, ub hangs until the device is unplugged. This does not happen often, becase we only allow one SCSI command per block device, but does happen (on multi-LUN devices, for example). The fix is to stop timer only when we actually going to change the state. The nicest code would be to have the timer stopped in URB callback, but this is impossible, because it can be called from inside a timer, through the urb_unlink. Then we get BUG in timer.c:cascade(). So, we do it a little dirtier. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-31[PATCH] USB: ub 03 Oops with CFQPete Zaitcev
The blk_cleanup_queue does not necesserily destroy the queue. When we destroy the corresponding ub_dev, it may leave the queue spinlock pointer dangling. This patch moves spinlocks from ub_dev to static memory. The locking scheme is not changed. These spinlocks are still separate from the ub_lock.

2006-01-06[BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()Tejun Heo
add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). there's no generic way to pass error code to request completion function, making generic error handling of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and each driver uses it differently). this patch adds @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the same uptodate argument used in the last call to end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

Implement command retries and resets in ub. It is advantageous for users to know if their devices are getting bad.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernelAlan Stern
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA: This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't been used for anything other than printing warning messages." An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so quickly." Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial" subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked. "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag is removed." Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: ub 4: Zaitcev's quasi-S/GPete Zaitcev
Back out Axboe-style quasi-S/G and replace it with one command and repeated URBs. This is similar to what usb-storage does, only instead of a few URBs allocated together, one URB is reused. Jens's idea was very nice, but it collapsed when I had to support packet commads for CD burning. I cannot issue two or more packet commands where application expected only one. However, burning does not work completely yet. The cdrecord starts, recognizes the device, then aborts without writing a TOC.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: ub 3/3: death to ub_bd_rq_fn_1Pete Zaitcev
When Al Viro saw the ub.c, he observed that it was a proof positive of Linus not reading patches anymore: names like fo_ob_ar_ba_2 used to cause serious fireworks.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: ub 1/3: Axboe's quasi-S/GPete Zaitcev
This the quasi-S/G patch for ub as suggested by Jens Axboe at OLS and implemented that night before 4 a.m. Surprisingly, it worked right away... Alas, I had to skip some OLS partying, but it was for the good cause. Now the speed of ub is quite acceptable even on partitions with small block size. The ub does not really support S/G. Instead, it just tells the block layer that it does. Then, most of the time, the block layer merges requests and passes single-segmnent requests down to ub; everything works as before. Very rarely ub gets an unmerged S/G request. In such case, it issues several commands to the device. I added a small array of counters to monitor the merging (sg_stat). This may be dropped later.

2005-07-27[PATCH] ub: fix for blank CDsPete Zaitcev
This patch fixes a microcode lockup in my CD-ROM adapters when a blank CD is inserted. However, do not try to burn CDs yet! I'm pretty sure that trying it will end in coasters. - Fix a few cases where we were unable to resynchronize with replies for previous commands. The main thing is to keep reading replies in case of a stall. This is done with the new state CLRRS. - Since I am forgetting the basic state machine already, document it. - Move counter increments in the looping path in its own function. - Fix a harmless buglet in case CSW read fails to submit: do not override state. - Implement the Alan Stern's idea for adaptive signature checking.

This smoothes two imperfections: - Increase number of LUNs per device from 4 to 9.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
