Hi all,
I've rolled up all of the pending patches that I've been storing up for
2.4.21 into one big patch and placed it on kernel.org at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/usb/2.4/usb-2.4.21.patch.gz
This includes all of the patches that I sent to Marcelo yesterday, and 2
more (one more usb-storage unusual_dev entry, and another ehci update).
I strongly recommend this patch for anyone who wants to use USB 2.0
devices on 2.4.21.
I've included a list of all of the changes included in here below.
Hope this can be useful to some people.
thanks,
greg k-h

Broken ehci-hcd things seem to be fixed with this patch. I had
numerous crashes, hangs, filesystem corruption, etc. with
2.4.19,20,21 until I applied this. I am using,
DVD burner in an external USB 2.0 enclosure (same as the one rebranded by Belkin)
IDE drive in the same model enclosure.
Epson 3200 scanner.
Using them before the patch, particularly simultaneously, caused driver crashes. They
seem to share the bus nicely now.
Please CC me with replies.

The failure rate on accessing an IDE disk via USB 2.0 has been
decreased dramatically with this patch, but I still get IO
errors pretty frequently.
But the real bad part is: If there is an IO error, then I cannot
sync _any_ of my mounted partitions anymore (all SCSI). A 'sync'
gets stuck. All I can do is a power cycle.
Would it be possible to decouple the mounted partitions somehow?
I don't care for the disk with IO error, but a sync should not
get stuck for a valid partition not showing any problems.

Harri
