Hi, This is about USB mass storage devices. The max_lun field in the scsi_host/us_data structure is the maximum possible LUN value *plus 1*. It's initially set to 8 by scsi_host_alloc() which is called by usb_stor_probe1(). usb_stor_scan_dwork() in drivers/usb/storage/usb.c contains this: /* For bulk-only devices, determine the max LUN value */ if (us->protocol == USB_PR_BULK && !(us->fflags & US_FL_SINGLE_LUN)) { mutex_lock(&us->dev_mutex); us->max_lun = usb_stor_Bulk_max_lun(us); mutex_unlock(&us->dev_mutex); } scsi_scan_host(us_to_host(us)); usb_stor_Bulk_max_lun() in drivers/usb/storage/transport.c contains this: usb_stor_dbg(us, "GetMaxLUN command result is %d, data is %d\n", result, us->iobuf[0]); /* if we have a successful request, return the result */ if (result > 0) return us->iobuf[0]; /* * Some devices don't like GetMaxLUN. They may STALL the control * pipe, they may return a zero-length result, they may do nothing at * all and timeout, or they may fail in even more bizarrely creative * ways. In these cases the best approach is to use the default * value: only one LUN. */ return 0; The USB Mass Storage Class document specifies that Get Max LUN returns the maximum LUN value (*not* plus 1). So for a single-LUN device or if GetMaxLUN fails, usb_stor_Bulk_max_lun() returns 0. In view of that, shouldn't the above code in usb_stor_scan_dwork() be changed to: /* For bulk-only devices, determine the max LUN value */ if (us->protocol == USB_PR_BULK && !(us->fflags & US_FL_SINGLE_LUN)) { mutex_lock(&us->dev_mutex); us->max_lun = usb_stor_Bulk_max_lun(us) + 1; mutex_unlock(&us->dev_mutex); } scsi_scan_host(us_to_host(us)); [It looks like code in drivers/staging/keucr/usb.c has the same issue.] Mark -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
