Bug 42083 – mm-sources has broken firewire (ieee1394) and/org hotplug-ieee1394

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Dale K Dicks 2004-02-18 15:43:29 UTC]

the first time after a fresh boot that you modprobe ohci1394 and sbp2 with an iPod plugged in, it detects the iPod and the correct devices are created:
/dev/sda1 /dev/sda2

if you then rmmod sbp2 and ohci1394 and then re modprobe them, the device is not recreated.

if you then remove the iPod, the system freezes.

it has been this way since 2.6.1 - I was hoping that it woudl get fixed by now but maybe they don't know about it.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect iPod via firewire
2. modprobe ohci1394
3. modprobe sbp2
4. mount the iPod (/dev/sda2)
5. unount the iPod
6. rmmod sbp2
7. rmmod ohci1394
8. repeat steps 2 & 3
Actual Results:  
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 were not created.

disconnecting the iPod causes the system to freeze.


Expected Results:  
created the /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 devices and NOT frozen.

this _never_ happens with 2.6.x - vanilla

1) Is this for Linux 2.6.1+ or mm-sources-2.6.1+?

2) If it's for vanilla, can you please file a bug, once you've checked that you don't get with 2.6.3 at http://bugme.osdl.org; we can't really solve this since we don't maintain the upstream sources.

3) If it's only in Andrew Morton's patches [ please confirm that you still get this with the latest version, 2.6.3-mm1, before sending anything off ] can I suggest that you contact Andrew Morton so that he sort this out?

Thanks.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.  It is for 2.6.[0-3]-mm*

I will contact Andrew Morton.
