USB flash not working anymore

2004-12-30 Thread Peter Radcliffe
I'm running FreeBSD 4-STABLE from Dec 28 on an IBM X30 laptop.

I'm having increasingly worse USB problems as time goes on. Nothing
that I try new works and various older devices that I bought
specificly because they were supported and worked fine for years now
do not work.

My SanDisk CF reader (SDDR-31) used to work perfectly, now gives me;

  umass0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2
  umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
  da0: SanDisk ImageMate II 1.30 Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
  da0: 650KB/s transfers
  da0: 489MB (1001953 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 489C)

here I try to mount hte filesystem or use mtools;

  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=65536
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, failed
  umass0: BBB reset failed, STALLED
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=65536
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, failed
  umass0: BBB reset failed, STALLED
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=65536
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, failed
  umass0: BBB reset failed, STALLED

and it hangs. Sometimes the process hangs, sometimes the machine hangs.


My crucial gizmo flashdrive gives me;

  umass0: Crucial Gizmo, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
  da0: Crucial Gizmo 1.00 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-CCS device 
  da0: 650KB/s transfers
  da0: 123MB (251904 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 123C)
[mount the drive]
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
[repeated about 30 times]
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  usb_block_allocmem: in interrupt context, size=4096
  umass0: at uhub1 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
  (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device
  (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry
  umass0: detached

This at least works when mounted but mtools will hang hard.

The Iomega mini flashdrive hard hung my machine so I have no logs.


Anyone seen these problems before or working on usb in 4.x ? I'll do
what I can to help debugging...

Thanks,
P.

 this means exactly what it sounds like... something in the usb system 
 tried to allocate memory while in an interrupt context.

I don't know anything about the USB subsystem, nor what can or cannot
be done while handling an interrupt.

 I don't see what USB controller you have.  OHCI or UHCI (or EHCI).

Re: USB flash not working anymore

2004-12-30 Thread Peter Radcliffe
Julian Elischer [EMAIL PROTECTED] probably said:
 do you have access to anything with an EHCI or OHCI controller for 
 comparison with that device?

My (now usually windows only) amd64 desktop box has ohci, but it doesn't
have any ethernet devices that 4 has support for (5 does, apparently)
so I can't easily give direct logs.


Booting i386 FreeBSD from an old partition taken to 4-STABLE from
earlier this month shows that the SanDisk CF redaer works fine with
mtools to read from (when I try to write to it I get lots of umass0:
BBB reset failed, STALLED) and the Iomega micro mini thumbdrive also
works fine with mtools for read/write.

The crucial gizmo does not work at all, I get a umass0 message, a
disconnection and then detatch message and then another umass0:
Crucial Gizmo, rev 2.00/0.01, addr message and nothing else, no da0;

  can't re-use a leaf (minimum_cmd_size)!
  umass0: at uhub1 port 4 (addr 2) disconnected
  (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device
  (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry
  umass0: detached

  umass0: at uhub1 port 4 (addr 2) disconnected
  umass0: detached
  umass0: Crucial Gizmo, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2

Shortly after removing the Gizmo the machine page faulted in kernel
mode and crashed.

After enabling crashdumps I tried this again and the gizmo as the
first device worked;

  umass0: Crucial Gizmo, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2
  umass0: at uhub1 port 4 (addr 2) disconnected
  da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
  da0: Crucial Gizmo 1.00 Fixed Direct Access SCSI-CCS device 
  da0: 650KB/s transfers
  da0: 123MB (251904 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 123C)
  (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device

  da0: 123MB (251904 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 123C)
  can't re-use a leaf (minimum_cmd_size)!

then I got a panic: ohci_abort_xfer: not in process context and a very
big crashdump;

  IdlePTD at physical address 0x003ef000
  initial pcb at physical address 0x00346b20

  #5  0xc024a101 in usb_task_thread ()

Further down the rabbit hole, I build a kernel.debug and try to
copy things over to a flash drive to get them to another machine;

  umass0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2

This didn't crash the machine, at least.

Trying to reprovoke the crash it seems to only fail with a panic from
one pair of usb ports, the rest work better. I get another page fault
in kernel mode and it dumps;

 There are a few gotcha's though. Not all SATA controllers does support 
 SATA ATAPI even if out driver would, so its a mixed blessing for now.
 Anyhow, as soon as I can get my hands on a SATA ATAPI device, be certain 
 that I'll get support in there

If it's something you'd like to work on I'd happily put some money

Re: Rocketport (rp) PCI card on stable ?

 I picked up a surplus Rocketport PCI card but am having problems getting it 
 to run on STABLE. I can get it to work just fine under windows, so I know 
 it works.  But I cant get it to work with FreeBSD. I have the /dev/cuaR# 
 devices, but alas, no joy.  All I want to do is just be able to use it as a 
 terminal server to connect to other FreeBSD boxes.

I'm using a 4 port PCI rocketport RJ45 card fine under -STABLE;

rp0: RocketPort PCI port 0xa000-0xa0ff mem 0xef045000-0xef045fff,
  0xef044000-0xef044fff irq 11 at device 1.0 on pci2
RocketPort0 (Version 3.02) 16 ports.

(no idea why it says 16 ports, it is the 4 port version).

 I am just using cu, but I tried minicom as well without luck.  Has anyone 
 used this card with luck under STABLE ?

I use kermit to /dev/cuaR0 and can get out to the console of other
machines fine.

Re: Problem with compact flash reader under -stable

Duane H. Hesser [EMAIL PROTECTED] probably said:
 It appears to me, though, that the USB spec merely gives vendors a target
 to avoid.  Apparently, they interpret it as Unspecified Serial Bus, since
 they all seem to go their own way.  I have a Microtech Zio flash card reader
 which is too large for a keychain holder and too small for a paperweight.
 It is recognized by the ugen driver as SHUTTLE SCM Micro USBAT-02 and
 usbdevs -v reveals its ID as 04e6:1010, so I know it's there (but then, I
 knew that, as it was me that plugged it in :=).

I played with one of these last night - got it recognised by umass but
all I managed to do was hang my machine with any tweaks that I
tried. Another SHUTTLE device is '#if 0'-ed out in umass because the
ATAPI code isn't ready for primtime and I'm wondering if the other
devices made by them are similar.

The sandisk SDDR-31 was my answer - works just fine, shame it's not
as small as some of them (at some point I'll hack on the travel flash

Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] probably said:
 Making it easy for the _administrator_ to get information that is
 useful for administration is a good thing. 

This can be done without providing the same information to an
attacker.

 Think about the audit for vulnerable versions of SSH using
 e.g. scanssh.  How is the administrator to differentiate between the
 standard, vulnerable, version of OpenSSH 2.3.0 and the fixed,
 non-vulnerable version included in FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE unless it
 reports itself differently?

It's running ssh, it's accessable from the network. Put the changed
version string in ssh --version or similar and connect to the machine
to check it. Information does not have to be available to an attacker.

 Perhaps you're unaware of how easy it is to fingerprint an OS by
 simply examining the behaviour of the IP stack and the response to
 various packets.  If you can receive *any* packets from a host you can

No, I'm perfectly aware of this. This doesn't mean I want to inform a
potential attacker exactly what sub-version of ssh I'm running,
though.

 Again, fine-grained OS fingerprinting is trivial and there are many
 automated tools for doing it which work reliably, so complaining about
 this instance is just tilting at windmills.

Getting an OS version is different from getting _exactly_ which
application version is there. I've seen, and indeed use, the
fine-grained OS fingerprinting. I find that quite beside the point
when talking about application versions.

*sigh*
Something else to fix every time I install a machine. Currently I
don't even use FreeBSD's OpenSSH installation since it's so out of

one of the reasons why I never bother developing or tracking down
problems that don't directly impact me - even if I do, that
information can sit in a PR for years and never be touched.

Once something is in a PR, that needs to be looked at by someone with
the ability to say "yes, this is good and should be committed to
current" or "this needs some work or could be done better" or "this
isn't appropriate".  This often doesn't happen (even allowing for the
volunteer nature of the project) and IMO is impacting the project

 It's generally considered a Bad Idea(TM) anyway to have any other
 name assigned to 127.x.x.x but localhost.  Just don't do so and
 assign a "real" address to your NIF and name your machine
 appropriately.  Even if you don't get official IPs from ARIN and
 friends, RFC1918 has plenty of them for your toying ...

That isn't entirely true.

As long as the first entry on the line is "localhost", everything will
still work as expected.

On any mobile machine I have that may or may not have real (or RFC
private) addresses to use at any given time I put an entry for the
name of the machine on the localhost line so it can resolve it's own
name when not connected. I also dislike fully qualified node names, so
just use the short form.

On a laptop that may connect to someone's internal RFC private network
and use DHCP you can't rely on any address space being legitimate for
a "private" interface or name on a mobile machine.

'doze keeps the PC's system time as local time, so all it does when it

If you run a FreeBSD box with local time in the system clock (which of
