 Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 10:48 pm Post subject: gentoo-sources 2500_Jmicron_enclosure patch |
 |
|
I have some cheap 2.5" HDD enclosures (USB3 <> SATA3) which are recognized by the 2500_usb-storage-Disable-UAS-on-JMicron-SATA-enclosure patch as faulty and forced to mass-storage mode instead of UAS.
What's the easiest way of disabling this single patch (at least for testing)? Why isn't there a menuconfig option to begin with?
I don't remember having any issues before this patch (and I was too lazy to figure out how to selectively disable it --- or even just decide if I really wanted to) but I started to have some problems after upgrading to kernel 4.18: My old io-scheduler settings were tailored to the UAS mode. Later they were silently "clipped" to the reduced functionality. But now the kernel started throwing warnings and the system wide I/O performance often become slow, sometimes I had to hard-reset at the end. It took some time before I figured out that these problems are related to the custom scheduler tuning values and the capability-reduced devices.
The other irony (besides this patch indirectly triggering some kernel bug and making my system sluggish and crash) is that I replaced my old similar enclosures with these just to have UAS. |

When I read the comments of the redhat bugzilla that generated the patch, it suggests the patch is no longer necessary. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1315013
If you agree, maybe submit a gentoo bug report.

Thanks. I probably will open a case on gentoo's bugzilla and attach the link you provided.

That's the problem with some vendors they reuse the same id even with different enclosures, I've run into that before. (looking at bug report)
It's looked at in 2 places in the src code
drivers/usb/storage/unusual_uas.h and drivers/usb/storage/uas.mod.c
Edit to add: I'm not sure the referenced patch would work, the code is much different than it was for that patch.
If you want to play with it, then edit the 2 files I mention above and comment out the two places that match the id for your device, recompile and see what it does.
No guarantee that it will work though.
It could be that things will work because those UAS quirks have been in the code for a long time, and I doubt anyone has tested with newer kernels.

It looks like there might be some misunderstanding here.
I assumed my enclosures are force to mass-storage mode by the referenced patch: gentoo-sources patchset / 2500_usb-storage-Disable-UAS-on-JMicron-SATA-enclosure
and thus I wanted to disable that patch.
Your reply suggests my enclosures are treated as faulty by the mainline kernel code (not the gentoo-sources patch).
I tried to look at the files you suggested but I am not sure if the controller in question is on those lists. But I could be lost between all the different IDs and names. |

| Code: | uas.mod.c:MODULE_ALIAS("usb:v2537p1068d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*");
unusual_uas.h:UNUSUAL_DEV(0x2537, 0x1068, 0x0000, 0x9999, |
and the lines pertaining to those. they match the id 2537:1068
They set certain things because they recognize those id's produce quirky results in UAS mode. (doesn't mean they won't work, but might not be reliable)

Ah. Thanks. So it's mainline code, not related to gentoo patches. Sorry, may bad (including the false bugreport).
I don't have the uas.mod.c file in gentoo-sources-4.18.5 but found the line in unusual_uas.h and will test the recompiled kernel when I can afford to reboot. |

I just did a grep on 2357 in that directory and those 2 files showed up (4.14.62), it may be in another file or that file might have disappeared, if there is more than one hit from grep then make sure the second half of the id 1068 shows up with it. otherwise, commit it out and see what happens. And let us know what happens. Good luck.
