This patch (as1311b) fixes a problem in usb-storage: Some devices are pretty broken when it comes to reporting sense data. The information they send back indicates that they have more than 18 bytes of sense data available, but when the system asks for more than 18 they fail or hang. The symptom is that probing fails with multiple resets. The patch adds a new BAD_SENSE flag to indicate that usb-storage should never ask for more than 18 bytes of sense data. The flag can be set in an unusual_devs entry or via the "quirks=" module parameter, and it is set automatically whenever a REQUEST SENSE command for more than 18 bytes fails or times out. An unusual_devs entry is added for the Agfa photo frame, which uses a Prolific chip having this bug. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Daniel Kukula <daniel.kuku@xxxxxxxxx> --- The first version of this patch accidentally omitted a mask entry for the new flag. Please replace it with this updated version.
