commit 6d3b82f2d31f22085e5711b28dddcb9fb3d97a25 upstream.

USB: usb-storage: add BAD_SENSE flag

2009-12-18T22:03:59+00:00

commit a0bb108112a872c0b0c4b3ef4974f95fb75b155d upstream.

This patch (as1311) 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.

ext4: make "norecovery" an alias for "noload"

2009-12-14T17:45:06+00:00

(cherry picked from commit e3bb52ae2bb9573e84c17b8e3560378d13a5c798)

Users on the linux-ext4 list recently complained about differences
across filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.

In the discussion it was noted that xfs's "norecovery" option is
perhaps more descriptively accurate than "noload," so let's make
that an alias for ext4.

Also show this status in /proc/mounts

ext4: make trim/discard optional (and off by default)

2009-12-14T17:45:04+00:00

(cherry picked from commit 5328e635315734d42080de9a5a1ee87bf4cae0a4)

It is anticipated that when sb_issue_discard starts doing
real work on trim-capable devices, we may see issues.  Make
this mount-time optional, and default it to off until we know
that things are working out OK.
