[Bug 229260] New: Optical drive (SH-S162L) not configured
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229260 Summary: Optical drive (SH-S162L) not configured Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: benjamin.j.mccann@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de openSuse is not recognizing my DVD drive, model #sh-s162l. It is properly setup with all cables connected, etc. because I was able to install the OS off of a CD. Also, Knoppix does not seem to have any trouble with this drive. It's not listed under YaST's "Hardware Information" and I didn't see anything pertaining to the drive when I typed "dmesg" at the command prompt. I'm not sure why this drive isn't configured properly when I could install off of it. The drive is connected by IDE and my motherboard is an ECS 945G-M3. Let me know if you'd like any other info. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I ran "modprobe ide_cd" and "modprobe cdrom" and both returned without error. I looked in Yast's "Hardware Information" again and the CD drive was still not listed. I'm not sure if there's anything else I should have done from this point. I've attached the info from "hwinfo --cdrom --log hwinfo.log" which seems to have given all the info. "hwinfo --cdrom" returned nothing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Interesting. This problem seems common between 10.1 and 10.2. This indicates the offending part is probably ata_piix low level driver. Maybe it screwed up parameter setting or something.

Would your suggestion from comment #13 still be applicable? I could disconnect the ribbon and throw in one of the internet install discs. It might take me a little while to figure out how to mount a thumb drive, but I'm sure I could manage with a little googling. Would you want the output from a dmesg or anything else?

One possible regression point between IDE and libata is ATAPI DMA: For IDE, only Read/Write commands with multiple of 512 bytes are done in ATAPI DMA. However, in libata, _all_ packet command are default with ATAPI DMA.
Maybe this SH-S162L drive doesn't like "INQUIRY" by ATAPI DMA?
Argh... Right. My stupid eyes somehow filtered out if (info->dma) in cdrom_start_packet_command() so I was thinking IDE was doing it using DMA too. Thanks for the enlightenment. :-) It seems, IDE uses DMA for ATAPI devices for 1. READ/WRITE requests which are aligned to queue_hardsect_size() 2. SG request with BIO where length is aligned to 16bytes && starting address is aligned to DMA engine alignment (of course). I think we should just follow what IDE has been doing for years.

Albert, can you review this one? This basically makes the DMA check identical to IDE and drops ATA_HORKAGE_DMA_RW_ONLY. As most checks are done in sr already, all we have to do is 16 bytes alignment test.
The patch looks good. Since the TORiSAN DRD-N216 is the device affected by the patch, I would also notify Vlad (who owns the device) to verify this patch.(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6710) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

... all we have to do is 16 bytes alignment test.
I'm worried that 16-bytes alignment is good enough for old IDE, but not for libata. Under old IDE, the device won't receive random SCSI commands from SCSI mid and sg. However, for ide-scsi and libata, ATAPI devices are faked to look like SCSI devices and are expected to work like real SCSI devices. Maybe we need to limit ATAPI DMA to Read/Write commands unconditionally as done by ide-scsi? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe we can blacklist them separately? I'm worried about cdda/dvd play,rip/recording performance. Many applications issue non-read/write data transfer commands using sg. If we do all of them using pio, performance hit will be significant. Other than commands from sr/scsi, IDE drivers also have been issuing all the direct commands aligned to 16 bytes using DMA which means that ODDs can handle most commands issued by those applications. So, I think we're better off filtering out offending commands. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's caused by weird IRQ assignment on the platform and needs specific workaround (IO ports are allocated as native PCI resources and IRQ appears to be that way too but IRQ lines are hardwired to 14 and 15). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think we're better off filtering out offending commands.
Hmm, agreed. Most ODDs seem to work well with the aggressive ATAPI DMA under libata without R/W filtering. The 16-bytes alignment rule is also simpler than the R/W horkage. I will ask the other 2 bugs related to ATAPI DMA to test your 16-byte alignment patch. Hopefully we'll have good result. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6710 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8605 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8627 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Moving takes a lot of time. :-( Can you post /var/log/boot.msg? If the option is applied, your drive is configured for PIO and it's slow and burns a lot of cpu cycles. I think libata midlayer or its low level drivers (at least ata_piix and pata_ali) could be doing something wrong regarding MWDMA. I'm not quite sure what yet. I'll take another look through the code. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You need to change release name or something such that it has a different version string. The easiest way to test the patch is... 1. be root 2. cd /usr/src/linux 3. patch -p1 < patch_to_apply 4. make cloneconfig 5. make menuconfig -> general setup -> Local version -> change it to "-test" 6. make (or make -j4) 7. make modules_install 8. make install 9. reboot You now should be able to choose the test kernel or the default kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
