Examining the packet that caused the problem showed it was very similar
to the others but it contained 0x0a. This obviously stuck out as being a
candidate for some sort of translation problem.
The above looks almost too obvious but for this:
I also built a 2.4.28 kernel with the ftdi_sio and usbserial code from
the 2.4.24 release. It also failed. This was a surprise and I am
wondering of I did it correctly.
Did you nail down a scenario which we can debug? Frankly it's not credible
Not as yet. As I indicated I can only test the problem at a remote site
and I don't get much time to look at it.
that transplanted usbserial and ftsi_sio would fail to work. I know that
I agree, it can't be the case. To prove that I hadn't just made a
mistake, I transplanted the whole usb branch and it still failed. This
really points to the user app - which is complex and I haven't got to
the bottom of it. It's a multi-threaded library and I see it's doing
some sort of packet requeuing based on a timer. I can't see what has
changed but I am guessing it's a kernel timing issue. It would explain
everything.
I changed quite a bit between 2.4.24 and 2.4.28, but your experiment
undoes that.
I think the usb is red herring - sorry about that. BTW, I see you have
cc'd Ian (hi Ian). By coincidence we are using an MEV usb device.
