Hello Kernel Hackers,

when inserting an sd card in the internal slot I get IO errors, when trying to partition with gparted I got a kernel panic.

lspci reports the sd card reader as
0d:00.0 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e823 (rev 05)

attached you find the log generated.

sincerely Peter
Comment 1 Andrew Morton 2011-07-11 20:16:20 UTC
From which kernel version is this a regression?  Was 2.6.39 OK?
Comment 2 Peter Vollmer 2011-07-11 20:58:36 UTC
It is a regression of the 3.0.0-rc6-mainline Kernel. With the current Kernel 2.6.39 of Arch Linux I've had no Problems.
Comment 3 Chris Ball 2011-07-11 21:21:23 UTC
Thanks for the report.

Does reverting the below commit help?  It added some PCI quirks for your chip, and was merged in 3.0-rc5:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=be98ca652faa6468916a9b7608befff215a8ca70

If it doesn't help, I can't think of anything else obvious -- it would be great if you could try a bisect between 2.6.39 final and 3.0-rc6.
Comment 4 Chris Ball 2011-07-11 21:23:16 UTC
Oh, yeah -- you could also just disable CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC, assuming it is currently =y on your system.  Does that help?

Hi Chris,
first of all thanks for your help. 

I'm finish with some of your tips:

The tip of comment #4 doesen't work. I've got the error message that the config wasn't able to load. Also the cardreader doesn't work.

The other thing I've done was the bisection thing. The result is this commit:

    mmc: sdhci: R1B command handling + MMC_CAP_ERASE.
    
    ERASE command needs R1B response, so fix R1B-type command
    handling for SDHCI controller. For non-DAT commands using a busy
    response, the cmd->cmd_timeout_ms (in ms) field is used for timeout
    calculations.

I hope I can help to resolve this problem.

Comment 8 Chris Ball 2011-08-09 11:09:11 UTC
Hi Peter,

Please could you retry with 3.1-rc1?  We've added a patch to slow down the MMC clock rate on your chipset, which has fixed IO errors on other machines.
Comment 9 Chris Ball 2011-08-09 19:11:02 UTC
.. and if you want to try applying the patch separately, it is:

Hi Chris,
On Kernel 3.1-rc1 the reader doesn't work at all. See the attached log for details.

kernelpanic after login

Hi Chris,

now I've got another kernelpanic from the cardreader, but today it was directly after login. A card was in the readed and it tried to mount it I think. I was the first time.

I'm using the kernel 3.0-Arch.

Bug #42568 - ThinkPad T520 I/O errors during accessing SD card with internal reader
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42568

might be related, but I think I had this with 2.6.39 as well. I am not completely sure tough, since I didn´t note kernel version of older saved log excerpts.
Comment 16 Alan 2013-12-23 14:06:02 UTC
If this is still present in modern kernels please update the bug
