Hi,
Somewhere between test12 and test13pre4ac2 (sheesh the version
numbers.....) CSS on ATAPI DVD ROM drives has stopped working.
Playing a CSS disc (using xine) causes a complete system hang (machine
doesn't ping - sysrq-b still works) on test13pre4ac2. On test12 it is
still OK.
This is on an Alpha LX164.

Works fine under test13-pre4 here on a x86 and an ATAPI Creative 2x dvd
drive using xine or dxr2 player.

Actually... I just remembered that I have my kernel patched to bring it
up-to-date with udf cvs.

The most likely suspect (as someone else pointed out) is not at
all css (I'm not even sure what you mean by css hang?) but UDF.
Given the fs changes. Since sysrq still works, it would help a
lot if you could capture sysrq-p repeatedly and send it in.
Do you have any non-css discs to beat on UDF?

I mean a complete system hang when playing a CSS disc - doesn't even ping.
Doesn't recover.

I think at this point the only thing that works is sysrq-b - at least the
sysrq-u's and sysrq-s's that I've given don't seem to have cleanly
unmounted the file system.

Yep one disc (Scanners) - it is fine - hence my reason for beleiving it is
a CSSism (although I guess CSS makes other demands on the UDF code).

Could you at least check? You may need some sort of serial console too..

Not so. Once a css "session" has been established, data is read just
like off any other CD. But try with this patch applied, it could be
a NULL pointer deref at the wrong time.

This is confirmed. mounting css dics causes oops. non-css discs work
fine.
oops coming soon.

Thanks. If it's the cdrom_log_sense oops, please try also with
previously sent patch.

Hi Jens,
Thanks for the patch; unfortunatly at the moment I can neither confirm
or deny whether the patch works - since the damn thing won't crash on me
with or without the patch - I suspect it depends on system mood.
But I have a PDA logging console so if it happens I should catch it.
Thanks again,
Dave
