pl2303/usb-serial driver problem in 2.4.27-pre6

pl2303/usb-serial driver problem in 2.4.27-pre6

[Oleksiy]

Hi all,

I have a problem using GPRS inet vi my Siemens S55 attached with USB 
cable since kernel version 2.4.27-pre5, the link is established well, 
but then no packets get received, looking with tcpdump shows outgoing 
ping packets and just few per several minutes received back. I'm unable 
to ping, do nslookup, etc.
The problem started when i switched from kernel 2.4.26 (linux slackware 
10.0) to 2.4.28-pre3. None of ppp otions haven't changed and all the 
same options were set during kerenel config. So i decided to test all 
kernels between 2.4.26 and 2.4.28-pre4 (also not working). Link works 
well in 2.4.27-pre5 and stop working in 2.4.27-pre6. No "strange" 
messages or errors in the logs. firewall is disabled (ACCEPT for all).

i'm using:

pppd-2.4.2
Siemens S55 mobile
USB cable (PL2303 conroller)

USB drivers:

ehci_hcd
uhci.c
pl2303.c

Thanks.

Pete, 

I bet this has been caused by your USB changes?

Can you take a look at this please?

Hi,

No, i haven't changed anything: the same cable, the same modules.
I was compiling new kernels (-pre1, -pre2 ... all patches ) and just 
after boot running pppd to test connection.
2.4.26 and all 2.4.27-preX works fine till -pre6. All after -pre6 
including 2.4.28-pre4 are not working for me...

Can you enable CONFIG_DEBUG?

There were no pl2303 driver changes between 2.4.27-pre5 and pre6, so I
don't think it's that driver...

I'm afraid you're right, because Oleksiy did the bisection. However,
I cannot see how this is possible. In fact, it fixed ppp for a few
people...

This may be something pl2303 specific. I'll work with Oleksiy to get
to the bottom of it.

On what kernel version do you have these problems?

May I add that I have some problems with a pl2303 GPS device which causes 
kernel panics when I pull it out of the USB port.

I don't know if it can be related, the device works fine until I unplug it.

2.4.20 is quite old; additionally, the pl2303 driver has known problems
(Oops on device removal while the device node is opened for example...).
2.6.x just works (last famous words, I know...) but I suggest you just
upgrade to 2.6.x. I'm using this driver basically each day (for GPS
receiver and a number of serial links for serial console) and never
had a problem with it (except on 2.4.x).

I had the problem on two laptops and a stationary machine running 2.4.20. I 
dug out the old gps device and am happy to say the problem is gone on 
2.6.8.1. I don't have a 2.4 kernel handy so I can't say if the problem is 
still present in the 2.4 branch.

This change fits the reported symptom (loss of receive data).

The change preserves line status errors
across multiple read interrupt callbacks until the error
can be applied to the contents of the next read bulk callback.

What looks wrong to me is that the line status error,
which should be associated with an individual character,
is applied to the entire contents of the next bulk read.
Wouldn't this potentially invalidate good data?

I'm not familiar with the operation of USB-serial converters,
so I don't know exactly how the flow of read interrupt and
read bulk callbacks are implemented to handle character errors.

If I was to guess, before the change, errors were lost
(overwritten by the next read interrupt callback)
so the mask was added to preserve the error.
But the error is applied to more data than it should,
causing loss of valid receive data.

Someone slap me down if I'm totally off base here.

USB CDC 1.1 does not specify how these error indications
relate to subsequent bulk data packets. I could not find
manufacturer info that helps. BSD drivers don't do
error processing at all.

Here is a patch that applies the error only to the
next receive byte instead of all bytes in the
next read bulk packet.

Greg: Any comment?

Oleksiy: Can you try this patch?

Thanks,
Paul

Your patch looks sane, thanks.

Let us know if this works or not.  If so, Paul, care to resend this for
2.6 also?

OK, I'm confused.

You reported that everything works in kernel
versions up to and including 2.4.27-pre5.
It breaks with 2.4.27-pre6.
It works again with 2.6.9

The only changes to pl2303.c between
2.4.27-pre5 and 2.4.27-pre6 are also present in 2.6.9

If all of the above this is correct, then the changes
to pl2303.c have nothing to do with your problem...
and my wonderful little theory is total crap.

Greg KH suggested enabling CONFIG_DEBUG.
Did you try that and get any output?

Thanks,
Paul
