Hi,
I'm trying to understand how the USB Mass Storage Device
works in 2.6. Specifically 2.6.14. I see a fair amount of
churn in this subsystem.
My principle concern/question is how does data from a file
on the filesystem get transported to a memory stick? I
have dumped info at many stages and see varying URB buffers
sent out.
My device is using PIO not DMA. The HCD controller
understands this, but under hcd_alloc_buffer it choses to
simply kmalloc what the Usb Mass Storage device asks for.
This happens to be 64bytes as per:
-----------------------------
* We provide a DMA-mapped I/O buffer for use with small
USB transfers.
* It turns out that CB[I] needs a 12-byte buffer and
Bulk-only needs a
* 31-byte buffer. But Freecom needs a 64-byte buffer, so
that's the
* size we'll allocate.
-----------------------------
As I try to trace through the use of this, I see that the
following flags are changing depending on various SCSI
activity to the memory stick:

When I actually transfer file contents, I see the buffer
sizes increase dramaitcally:

I'm curious how the TxFlags keep changing... these are
combinations of:
-----------------------------
#define URB_SHORT_NOT_OK 0x0001 /* report short reads as
errors */
#define URB_ISO_ASAP 0x0002 /* iso-only, urb->start_frame
ignored */
#define URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP 0x0004 /* urb->transfer_dma
valid on submit */
#define URB_NO_SETUP_DMA_MAP 0x0008 /* urb->setup_dma valid
on submit */
#define URB_NO_FSBR 0x0020 /* UHCI-specific */
#define URB_ZERO_PACKET 0x0040 /* Finish bulk OUTs with
short packet */
#define URB_NO_INTERRUPT 0x0080 /* HINT: no non-error
interrupt needed */
-----------------------------
I only see the flags non-zero once the SCSI system start
discoverying the memorystick. Previous URB enqueues are
all zero for the most part.
My present situation is that after transfering files I see
file contents that are corrupt, along with system
instability.
I'm trying to isolate if I'm indeed copying correclty to
and from memory.
I see DMA-based HCDs use pools of data. For non DMA based
HCDs I see accomodations have been made in teh hcd.c
allocation system. But wonder if the SCSI USB Mass Storage
device works with this in mind?
I would also like to figure out if/why the flags for DMA
transfers are fluctuating so much... and specifically the
logic behind this snippet:
-----------------------------
/* we assume that if transfer_buffer isn't us->iobuf then
it
* hasn't been mapped for DMA. Yes, this is clunky, but
it's
* easier than always having the caller tell us whether
the
* transfer buffer has already been mapped. */
us->current_urb->transfer_flags = URB_NO_SETUP_DMA_MAP;
if (us->current_urb->transfer_buffer == us->iobuf)
us->current_urb->transfer_flags |=
URB_NO_TRANSFER_DMA_MAP;
us->current_urb->transfer_dma = us->iobuf_dma;
us->current_urb->setup_dma = us->cr_dma;
-----------------------------
I'm missing something here... I'm just trying to figure out
where I SHOULD be reading & writing from in memory as I'm
presently not and its blowing up whenever the SCSI system
notices my memory stick.
Any help much appreciated.
Mike.
