usb-scsi was *not* broken by the timeout patch
to 2.3.20. It was broken by a UHCI patch in
the uhci_td_result() function that messed with
bytesreceived, rval, status, debug, etc.
These patch lines look OK on the surface,
but they certainly break usb-scsi, or maybe
usb-scsi doesn't use the usb_xxx() functions
correctly. I guess I'll look at them more deeply.
Does anyone know who originated this patch
and why? Which parts of it are _Necessary_?
2. usb-scsi always Read-Only
usb-scsi does not implement any IOCTL functions,
so it does not have BLKROGET and BLKROSET (Block
device Read-Only Get/Set).
Does this mean that usb-scsi must implement
IOCTLs?
Alan- Would drivers/i2o/i2o_block.c be a good
place to copy ioctl's from?
Thanks,
Randy
