USB umass blues

[Miguel Mendez <flynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out a problem I've been experiencing with my 
mp3 player on DFly.

Scenario:

All SCSI system, no ide devices. First usb port is attached to my laser 
printer, second is free (most of the time a usb joypad is there), which 
is the one I use to connect my AudioKey2 USB mp3 player. Attach goes 
fine, device is detected and I can mount the filesystem ok. But, when I 
detach it, it takes away the entire "da" driver. Trying something like 
'ls' causes an instant panic with a "Page not present" fault, since it 
tries to jump to 0x8:0. Of course I can't get a kernel crashdump either.

Now, there's something strange at boot time:

WARNING: "da" is usurping "da"'s cdevsw[]

Given my little umass and cam-fu, I've managed to track the panic 
problem down to /sys/bus/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c. I've written a 
super-hackish bandaid patch that lets me keep the system alive, read: 
not have to reboot every time I need to access my usb mp3 player. I 
suspect that the main problem lies elsewhere in the da allocation code, 
which I still haven't studied, but I intend to.

Anyone else finding him/herself in this situation can give my patch a 
try. Spare me the comments about the quality of the patch, I know the 
code is not correct and pretty much sucks, but it does the job until I 
can come up with a proper solution :)

Cheers,
