2006-06-26Clean up 'inline is not at beginning' warnings for usb storageJesper Juhl
Usually we don't care much about 'gcc -W' warnings, but some of us do build kernels that way to look for problems, and then the fewer warnings we have to wade through the better. Especially when they are very easy and non-intrusive to clean up. Which is the case for the following warnings spewed by drivers/usb/storage/usb.h : drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:163: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of +declaration drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:166: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of +declaration There's also some precedence for cleaning up these warnings. I've had a few patches merged in the past that remove exactly this class of warnings. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB shuttle_usbat: hardcode flash detection for nowDaniel Drake
After some further testing with my flash device I realised that our current probe doesn't always work (e.g. when no media is inserted). Now that Peter Chubb's patch has simplified the detection of 99% of the HP CD writers out there, we have a much smaller range of hardware to work with on the shared device ID, so it should be possible to try some of the previous probe options again: we just need to find another tester with a USBAT2-based HP CD writer. This patch hardcodes the flash detection until someone comes along with one of these obscure CD drives. Note that these devices are extremely rare, so even if we can't ever find a decent probe method, at least we will be supporting almost all of the USBAT-based hardware out there.

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: shuttle_usbat: Hardcode detection of HP CDRW devicesPeter Chubb

2006-06-21[PATCH] USB: shuttle_usbat: Fix handling of scatter-gather buffersPeter Chubb
I've worked out what's going wrong. The scsi layer is now much more likely to pass down scatterlists instead of plain buffers. So you have to make sure that they're handled correctly. In one of the changes along the way, usbat_write_block and friends stopped obeying the srb->use_sg flag. Anyway, with the appended patch, and the one I'm putting in the next email, it all seems to work for the HP cd4e. Of course, someone's going to have to test it with the flash drives as well.... This patch teaches the usbat_{read,write}_block functions to obey the use_sg flag in the scsi-request.

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB Storage: add alauda supportMatthew Dharm
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.

This is the first of three patches to prepare the sddr09 subdriver for conversion to the Sim-SCSI framework.

2006-01-04[PATCH] USB Storage: make OneTouch PM-awareMatthew Dharm
The OneTouch subdriver submits its own interrupt URB for notifications about button presses. Consequently it needs to know about suspend and resume events, so it can cancel or restart the URB.

2005-12-21[PATCH] USB Storage: Force starget->scsi_level in usb-storage scsiglue.cPaul Walmsley
When the usb-storage module forces sdev->scsi_level to SCSI_2, it should also force starget->scsi_level to the same value. Otherwise, the SCSI layer may attempt to issue SCSI-3 commands to the device, such as REPORT LUNS, which it cannot handle. This can prevent the device from working with Linux. The AMS Venus DS3 DS2316SU2S SATA-to-SATA+USB enclosure, based on the Oxford Semiconductor OXU921S chip, requires this patch to function correctly on Linux. The enclosure reports a SCSI-3 SPC-2 command set level, but does not correctly handle the REPORT LUNS SCSI command - probably due to a bug in its firmware. It seems likely that other USB storage enclosures with similar bugs will also benefit from this patch. Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> collaborated in the development of this patch.
