Description James PEARSON 2007-06-16 06:38:44 UTC
Suject: 
new external hd case COOLER MASTER  X-Craft 360 with 750 GO sata hd (ST3750640A) not working

Problem Description:
new external hd case COOLER MASTER  X-Craft 360 - 3.5" - USB2.0 and eSATA - for SATA hd (RX-360-STBA-GP) is not working under usb 2.0
note I have installed a SEAGATE 750 GO sata hd (ST3750640A).  Everythng works fine under Windows XP. 
The hd ST3750640A works ok with COOLER MASTER  X-Craft 350 (350 != 360) case. The COOLER MASTER  X-Craft 360 is a new case without a new "slide in" the hard drive design

I have this problem with 3 different computers 
Tyan Tiger MPX (S2466) running opensuse 10.2 (kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3-default)
T40 Thinkpad running opensuse 10.3 alpha4 and 10.3 alpha5 (2.6.22-rc4-git3-2-default)
T60 Thinkpad running opensuse 10.2 (kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3-default)

wWhen I googled I found a simular looking bug "[Bug 8444] New: 16GB USB Stick not working" (see below for bug extract) that was marked solved - an extract follows...
Re: [linux-usb-devel] [Bugme-new] [Bug 8444] New: 16GB USB Stick not working
Index: usb-2.6/drivers/usb/core/hub.c
This was the solution:
-					(i ? USB_CTRL_GET_TIMEOUT : 1000));
+					USB_CTRL_GET_TIMEOUT);



Executive summary :
Despite the fact that the above modification for [Bug 8444]  "USB_CTRL_GET_TIMEOUT)" is incorporated in the 10.3 alpha5 (2.6.22-rc4-git3-2-default)  kernel see "2230                                         USB_CTRL_GET_TIMEOUT);"  I still have the same problem (.e.g external hd case COOLER MASTER  X-Craft 360 doesn't work).

Comment 2 Jan Gutter 2008-02-07 07:17:01 UTC
I've got a similar issue with my X-Craft enclosure for a laptop SATA drive. This one's USB powered, and the USB ID is ed06:8000. (Manufacturer ID according to lsusb is DATAST0R)

It works in 2.6.23, but it gives very similar errors in 2.6.24:

device descriptor read/64, error -32
device not accepting address 5, error -110

I've verified this on more than one Intel chipset (a Thinkpad and an Acer).
I haven't attempted a git-bisect yet... I'll try to do a debug run before that though, to check if there's a simple gotcha.

Do you think the bugs might be related?
Comment 3 Jan Gutter 2008-02-11 04:12:38 UTC
Ok, a git-bisect done lazily over this weekend didn't yield results... Either I messed up (likely) or the problem is intermittent... Anyway, here's the snippets of dmesg with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y

BOTH:

2.6.24 (broken):

ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: GetStatus port 3 status 001005 POWER sig=se0 PE CONNECT
usb 1-3: device descriptor read/64, error -32

Just to avoid confusion, 2.6.24 prints two lines of the following:
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: devpath 3 ep0in 3strikes

Do your enclosure(s) give the same results?
Comment 4 Jan Gutter 2008-02-21 07:33:29 UTC
Ok, I've finally gotten a plausible run on git-bisect. This time I made *sure* that I tested multiple times, without hald running and with another hard drive.

The first commit where the error happens is:
commit 14c04c0f88f228fee1f412be91d6edcb935c78aa
Author: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

    USB: reorganize urb->status use in ehci-hcd
    
    This patch (as974) reorganizes the way ehci-hcd sets urb->status.  It
    now keeps the information in a local variable until the last moment.
    
    The patch also simplifies the handling of -EREMOTEIO, since the only
    use of that code is to set the do_status flag.
    
    Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
    CC: David Brownell <david-b@pacbell.net>
    Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

From the patch, it seems that urb->status is passed via the stack now, eliminating two spinlocks... I'm going to try adding these spinlocks to 2.6.24 just for the heck of it to see if it's a timing issue.

Anybody else watching this bug with ANY other news?
Comment 5 Jan Gutter 2008-02-22 04:07:35 UTC
Ok, after reverting the following patches, I've had success!

remove traces of urb->status from usbcore:
e015268d2fcfcaef70a1ec535e6381f75aafbf81

get rid of urb->lock: 
1431d2a44ccf68a547094976f363f94177ab00c6

Eliminate urb->status usage:
4a00027dcb088bf90fa8fb14a7e8ba3506d78f22

reorganize urb->status use in usbmon:
9347d51c52afcf1a77d2104f162cf8a085624c83

reorganize urb->status use in r8a66597-hcd:
888fda47051716765175d0008450126c837adb32

reorganize urb->status use in sl811-hcd:
65e51098d9094c7e840b6d6291867b95538d9442

reorganize urb->status use in ohci-hcd:
55d8496837cf124f68656e4242a5e20eb592fd54

reorganize urb->status use in ehci-hcd:
14c04c0f88f228fee1f412be91d6edcb935c78aa

reorganize urb->status use in dummy-hcd:
4d2f110c51eec853c50f68cf068888a77551c8d3

The "new" dmesg looks like this:

usb usb1: usb resume
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: resume root hub
hub 1-0:1.0: hub_resume
hub 1-0:1.0: state 7 ports 4 chg 0000 evt 0000
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: GetStatus port 3 status 001803 POWER sig=j CSC CONNECT
hub 1-0:1.0: port 3, status 0501, change 0001, 480 Mb/s
hub 1-0:1.0: debounce: port 3: total 100ms stable 100ms status 0x501
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: port 3 high speed
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: GetStatus port 3 status 001005 POWER sig=se0 PE CONNECT
usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

(previously it repeated this line twice:)

ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: devpath 3 ep0in 3strikes

ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: port 3 high speed
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: GetStatus port 3 status 001005 POWER sig=se0 PE CONNECT
usb 1-3: default language 0x0409
usb 1-3: uevent
usb 1-3: usb_probe_device

Two possibilities left:
1) It's a timing issue and a quirk needs to be added for this specific device
2) It's a logic issue: the new code handles a specific case slightly different than the old code.

I'll see if I can set aside some time to actually trace the logic in the code...

Ok, I've finally found the solution my problem! The nice people at linux-usb (Misha Zhilin and Alan Stern) found a small difference between the way that 2.6.23 and 2.6.24 handled certain types of errors. It seems that one of the rare devices that is affected by this is the good ol' DATAST0R chip that's in my X-Craft enclosure.

Anyone still having a problem, please check out:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=120370800915849&w=2

and apply the patch (it moves a line in drivers/usb/host/ehci-q.c)

There's another workaround available that works on non-patched kernels too. It's actually simple (if inconvenient): just power up the drive for 3 seconds before plugging in the data connection. On my USB-powered enclosure, I did it by plugging in the power USB plug, but I'm sure if the bug is the same on the large enclosure, applying external power for 3 seconds would work around the bug too.

If there isn't any feedback on this bug soon, I think it should be closed when the  patch in #6 hits a stable kernel.

Ok, 2.6.24.4 has this fix, as well as mainline on the unreleased 2.6.25 branch. I've received no chatter from anyone, so I vote this bug can be closed!

Special thanks to Alan Stern and Misha Zhilin!

The problem is not resolved completely with patches mentioned in this bug. I posted a patch to linux-usb mailing list http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/9959 which solves the timeout problem for me.

Heh.. right, this problem still exists on my 2.6.25-gentoo-r7 SMP x86_64 kernel. However, comment #7 worked for me.

When starting the drive while already connected,

When switching it on before connecting, waiting 10 seconds, then connecting to the USB, i get

Comment 11 Jan Gutter 2008-09-19 06:22:39 UTC
Xushi, did you apply the patch in #9? To be quite honest, I haven't had this problem for quite a while...

My cables are going bad lately, though: any idea where to find a "short" high-power USB cable like the ones that shipped with my mobile USB drives? It also doesn't help that I live in South Africa... ho hum....

I have noticed that 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 tends to negotiate stuff down to USB1.1, but it might be my aforementioned bad cables, the weather or something entirely different.
