Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle
the first READ(10) command they receive correctly. The Corsair
Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly
it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is
supposed to be unlocked). The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to
complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a
new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks
the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the
read.
Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the
partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's
partition table. Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or
"blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device.
This patch (as1470) works around the problem. It adds a new quirk
flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should
always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands
(provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting
stuck in a loop). The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs
entries containing the new flag.

This patch (as1400) adds runtime-PM support to usb-storage. It
utilizes the SCSI layer's runtime-PM implementation, so its scope is
limited. Currently the only effect is that disk-like devices (such as
card readers or flash drives) will be autosuspended if they aren't
mounted and their device files aren't open. This would apply, for
example, to card readers that don't contain a memory card.
Unfortunately this won't interact very well with the removable-media
polling normally carried out by hal or DeviceKit. Maybe those
programs can be changed to use a longer polling interval, or maybe the
default autosuspend time for usb-storage should be set to something
below 1 second.

This patch (as1350) removes all usages of coherent buffers for USB
control-request setup-packet buffers. There's no good reason to
reserve coherent memory for these things; control requests are hardly
ever used in large quantity (the major exception is firmware
transfers, and they aren't time-critical). Furthermore, only seven
drivers used it. We might as well always use streaming DMA mappings
for setup-packet buffers, and remove some extra complexity from
usbcore.
The DMA-mapping portion of hcd.c is currently in flux. A separate
patch will be submitted to remove support for URB_NO_SETUP_DMA_MAP
after everything else settles down. The removal should go smoothly,
as by then nobody will be using it.

The five-second delay can be rather annoying, and makes the system
appear much less responsive when you connect a USB drive.
It's also not entirely clear that it is needed - the settling delay has
at least historically been an issue on some Apple iPods, for example,
and some devices have been reported to need even more than the old 5s
delay.
But before we penalize them all, let's see how bad it really is. Some
of the reasons for long delays seem to be actual historical kernel bugs
that should probably never have been papered over with a delay in the
first place (there's a Ubuntu bug report for 2.6.20 about a NULL pointer
dereference unless 'delay_use' is 8 or more, for example).
It also looks like some distros have already shipped with delay_use=0,
so the five second default may well be totally historical.
In other words: "Let's see if anybody screams".

This patch (as1311) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are
pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data. The information
they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense
data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or
hang. The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets.
The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage
should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data. The flag can
be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter,
and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more
than 18 bytes fails or times out.
An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a
Prolific chip having this bug.

This patch (as1206) is the first step in converting usb-storage's
subdrivers into separate modules. It makes the following large-scale
changes:
Remove a bunch of unnecessary #ifdef's from usb_usual.h.
Not truly necessary, but it does clean things up.
Move the USB device-ID table (which is duplicated between
libusual and usb-storage) into its own source file,
usual-tables.c, and arrange for this to be linked with
either libusual or usb-storage according to whether
USB_LIBUSUAL is configured.
Add to usual-tables.c a new usb_usual_ignore_device()
function to detect whether a particular device needs to be
managed by a subdriver and not by the standard handlers
in usb-storage.
Export a whole bunch of functions in usb-storage, renaming
some of them because their names don't already begin with
"usb_stor_". These functions will be needed by the new
subdriver modules.
Split usb-storage's probe routine into two functions.
The subdrivers will call the probe1 routine, then fill in
their transport and protocol settings, and then call the
probe2 routine.
Take the default cases and error checking out of
get_transport() and get_protocol(), which run during
probe1, and instead put a check for invalid transport
or protocol values into the probe2 function.
Add a new probe routine to be used for standard devices,
i.e., those that don't need a subdriver. This new routine
checks whether the device should be ignored (because it
should be handled by ub or by a subdriver), and if not,
calls the probe1 and probe2 functions.

This patch (as1189b) adds some hacks to usb-storage for dealing with
the growing problems involving bad capacity values and last-sector
accesses:
A new flag, US_FL_CAPACITY_OK, is created to indicate that
the device is known to report its capacity correctly. An
unusual_devs entry for Linux's own File-backed Storage Gadget
is added with this flag set, since g_file_storage always
reports the correct capacity and since the capacity need
not be even (it is determined by the size of the backing
file).
An entry in unusual_devs.h which has only the CAPACITY_OK
flag set shouldn't prejudice libusual, since the device will
work perfectly well with either usb-storage or ub. So a
new macro, COMPLIANT_DEV, is added to let libusual know
about these entries.
When a last-sector access succeeds and the total number of
sectors is odd (the unexpected case, in which guessing that
the number is even might cause trouble), a WARN is triggered.
The kerneloops.org project will collect these warnings,
allowing us to add CAPACITY_OK flags for the devices in
question before implementing the default-to-even heuristic.
If users want to prevent the stack dump produced by the WARN,
they can disable the hack by adding an unusual_devs entry
for their device with the CAPACITY_OK flag.
When a last-sector access fails three times in a row and
neither the FIX_CAPACITY nor the CAPACITY_OK flag is set,
we assume the last-sector bug is present. We replace the
existing status and sense data with values that will cause
the SCSI core to fail the access immediately rather than
retry indefinitely. This should fix the difficulties
people have been having with Nokia phones.

The DPCM subdriver is a little peculiar, in that it's meant to support
devices where LUN 0 is Compact Flash and uses the CB transport whereas
LUN 1 is SmartMedia and uses the SDDR09 transport. Thus DPCM isn't
really a transport in itself; it's more like a demultiplexer.
Much of the DPCM code is part of the SDDR09 subdriver already, and the
remaining part is fairly small. This patch (as1182) moves that extra
piece into sddr09.c, thereby eliminating dpcm.c. Also eliminated is
the Kconfig entry for DPCM support; it is now listed as part of the
SDDR09 entry.
In order to make sure that the semantics are the same as before, each
unusual_devs entry for DPCM is now present twice: once with DPCM
support if SDDR09 is configured (as before), and once with the
SINGLE_LUN flag and CB support otherwise.

This patch (as1092) implements "soft" unbinding for usb-storage. When
the disconnect routine is called, all commands and reset delays are
allowed to complete normally until after scsi_remove_host() returns.
This means that the commands needed for an orderly shutdown will be
sent through to the device.
Unlike before, the driver will now execute every command that it
accepts. Hence there's no need for special code to catch unexecuted
commands and fail them.
The new sequence of events when disconnect runs goes as follows:
If the device is truly unplugged, set the DISCONNECTING
flag so we won't try to access it any more.
If the SCSI-scanning thread hasn't started up yet, prevent
it from doing anything by setting the new DONT_SCAN flag.
Then wake it up and wait for it to terminate.
Remove the SCSI host. This unbinds the upper-level drivers,
doing an orderly shutdown. Commands sent to quiesce the
device will be transmitted normally, unless the device is
unplugged.
Set the DISCONNECTING flag so that we won't accept any new
commands that might get submitted (there aren't supposed to be
any) and we won't try to access the device for resets.
Tell the control thread to exit by waking it up with no
pending command, and wait for it to terminate.
Go on to do all the other normal stuff: releasing resources,
freeing memory, and so on.

There are a number of issues still remaining in usb-storage autosuspend,
so, to be safe, we need to revert this for now.

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.

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.
