10ec:5286 [Clevo W310CZ] Realtek Card Reader not working.

[exzemat]

I have a Clevo W310CZ. No result when i put a sd card in with ubuntu 13.10.

Upstream post: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mmc&m=138774674016006&w=4

WORKAROUND: In kernel 3.16-rc7, uncomment rtsx_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/rtsx_blacklist.conf .

WORKAROUND: Only in 12.04, as this doesn't work for 13.10:
1. Download:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/971876/+attachment/2991730/+files/rts_bpp.tar.bz2
2. Extract archive, edit rtsx.c:
2.1. Remove __devinit from rtsx_probe in line 893
2.2. Remove __devexit from rtsx_remove in line 1048
2.3. Extract rtsx_remove from __devexit_p() in line 1074
3. Compile with "make"
4. As root, make install
5. Blacklist rtsx_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/rtsx_blacklist.conf (add "blacklist rtsx_pci")
6. 'modprobe rts_bpp'
7. run mkinitcpio -p linux
8. Restart the machine

I had 2 reports with ubuntu 14.04 Daily build tested in live usb : sd card still doesn't mount)

- first with apport-collect -p linux
- second with SUDO apport-collect -p linux (because some informations seems no present without root's permission)

I specified which one with (Sudo) in text/plain descriptions

I will do new report with latest upstream kernel, when I will understood how test this... (need to read some instructions and may be reinstall distribution : I need working sd card reader for chrismas's time so I reinstalled ubuntu 12.04 with rts_bpp driver which work fine)

[exzemat (exzemat)]

ok, I have installed 14-04, mainline kernel v3.13-rc3-trusty, and reboot on.
no sd card mount
I update report.
hope that it could be help.

I will reinstall monday 12.04 for next 2 weeks, tell me when/if you want i test something/patch/kernel...
thanks

[exzemat (exzemat)]

I don' t know Christopher.
you want that i test some previous version, which one (so many) ?

however, i think that no one driver support this sd card reader before precise (it's a "recent" chipset).
The driver rts_bpp was created for ubuntu 12.04, before, no solution existed for this chipset:
see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/971876

But after 12.04( for recent kernel of 12.04 too, as you can see on the lauchpad bug mentioned above, but some manipulations exist to force the rts_bpp driver), the driver rtsx_pci was incorpored to kernel (and supposed to support 5286/5289) replace rts_bpp : see last comment of colin-law (on the bug mentionned above)

no one version after 12.04 (i tested 13.04 and 13.10) support rts_bpp. but it's seems the driver rtsx_pci doesn't support this chipset realtek 5286/5289

i tested this laptop on last fedora, and archlinux, no more result...so this bug concern all distributions/recent kernel (>3.2.0-36)

[exzemat (exzemat)]

Christopher, i see that you change status: Confirmed → Incomplete.
what do you miss ?
some information that i could give ,

[penalvch (penalvch)]

exzemat, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem through the appropriate channel (would check with linux-mmc) by following the instructions _verbatim_ at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel#KernelTeam.2BAC8-KernelTeamBugPolicies.Overview_on_Reporting_Bugs_Upstream ?

Please provide a direct URL to your post once you have made it so that it may be tracked.

Thank you for your understanding.

[exzemat (exzemat)]

oups,...
I've already created bug on mozilla/kernel
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67491

I see afetr that the protocol is mail to maintener before
I send email to : <email address hidden>

hope that will be efficient...

(I don't speech english very well, so sorry...)

[penalvch (penalvch)]

exzemat, yes, you would want to e-mail the linux-mmc mailing list, and follow the kernel.org format when you do. Unfortunately, your upstream bugzilla report didn't follow the kernel.org format, so it wouldn't have the information developers want, and is on bugzilla, which is largely ignored by upstream developers.

[exzemat (exzemat)]

I edit bugzilla bug to follow the kernel.org format (copy-past of my email to <email address hidden>)

[Alessio Gatti (volperossa)]

I don't kow exectly why, but I've been abe to resolve ( see now SD cards and can read/write them!) on my ASUS X551CA with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and kernel 3.8.0-34-generic 64bit.

Please remember that for 12.04 the issue was resolved, but for kernels following 3.2 the fix was not working anymore .Today I made a silly attempt: I went to Realtek site and downloaded the "most recent" driver, that is for 5229 card (my lspc lists a 5286 instead). To do that, I:

1) Downloaded the driver from Realtek site (link: http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false)

2) attempt to Compile the driver via command make

3) You get a set of errors that you can correct by editing file rtsx.c, along the line of the first comment in this bug, i.e. removing any reference to deprecated function "__devinit". Ignore warning messages, they're OK

4) do a sudo make install

5) issue a command depmod that will do nothing :-)

6) Reboot your PC, and when you insert an SD card it will see it !!!

I followed the instructions for make and install of this web page: http://pclinuxoshelp.com/index.php/Compiling_drivers_for_Realtek_card_reader

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Alessio Gatti, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via:

[exzemat (exzemat)]

Dear Alessio,
what is the difference betwen your manipulation and the manipulation describe in the first post ?
I think that the result is similar.
on my laptop (with 3.8 kernel on ubuntu 12.04) no problem to install the realtek driver for this sd card (after manipulation described in the first post), but only for 12.04.
the problem is for recent ubuntu versions...
best regards

[Alessio Gatti (volperossa)]

@exzemat,
I'm not sure I did everything right (I'm not an expert in Linux), but my attempts to apply the patch of THIS thread were always unsuccessful: I could not compile / add the module and the SD card reader was dead.

It was only when I applied the same manupulations described in post #1 directly to the driver files provided by Realtek in their site, but FOR A DIFFERENT CARD that my PC could use the SD card.

In full honesty I think there is a chance that the COMBINATION of the two actions (failure to install this 3d patch + attempt to install the driver from Realtek site) may have worked.

@penalvch,
thank you very much for your interest and support in this issue. Unfortunately I'm far from my PC for a while, but I'll definitively do what you suggest as soon as I can put my hands on it again. So, be patient with me: this may take still some days (busy week ahead!).

Alex

[exzemat (exzemat)]

after some manipulations, I succed to install realtek 5286/5289 driver rts-bpp.
In fact it's seems that field proc_info indeed is not presented in kernel sources on ubuntu 13.10.
so, need to commented.
see step 3

WORKAROUND: work for 13.10:
1. Download:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks/+bug/971876/+attachment/2991730/+files/rts_bpp.tar.bz2
2. Extract archive, edit rtsx.c:

2.2. Remove __devexit from rtsx_remove in line 1048
2.3. Extract rtsx_remove from __devexit_p() in line 1074
2.4. Remove line 125 to 156

 else if ((pos - buffer - offset) < length)
  return (pos - buffer - offset);
 else
  return (length);
}

2.5 Remove line 259
.proc_info = proc_info,

3. Compile with "make"
4. As root, make install
5. Blacklist rtsx_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/rtsx_blacklist.conf (add "blacklist rtsx_pci")
6. 'modprobe rts_bpp'
7. run mkinitcpio -p linux
8. Restart the machine

[exzemat (exzemat)]

add my rtsx.c

[teledyn (garym-teledyn)]

7. run mkinitcpio -p linux

my system doesn't have this command -- is there a package I need to install or some subpath to it?

[exzemat (exzemat)]

No, it's a mistake (mine).
mkinitcpio is need for some distribution (archlinux for exemple), but not for ubuntu
ubuntu doesn't need the 7. step

[Takeuchi (g-takeuchi)]

I tried the solution, but I got a "FATAL: Module rtl_bpp not found." when running mod_probe

[Takeuchi (g-takeuchi)]

My Ubuntu 13.10 mounted the card reader out of the box, but when I copy large files, it ends corrupted.

Any ideas?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Takeuchi, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via:

After some update (on Ubuntu 13.10), I need to reinstall rts-bpp.
(just step 3. and 4.,no need to blacklist anymore)
no problem to reinstall, but I don't understand why.
any idea to make the change permanent ?

[exzemat (exzemat)]

I tested mainline kernel and uncomment rtsx_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/rtsx_blacklist.conf.
inserted SD card is mounted now !
So fixed in mainline

[exzemat (exzemat)]

Forget mentioned the mainline kernel : linux-headers-3.16.0-031600rc7

[penalvch (penalvch)]

exzemat, just to clarify, if you have to uncomment rtsx_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/rtsx_blacklist.conf when testing the mainline for it to work, it's not considered fixed, as you had to implement a WORKAROUND to get it to work.

Would the latest mainline kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.16-utopic/ work without the WORKAROUND?

[exzemat (exzemat)]

Hello Christopher.
I uncomment rtsx_pci in in /etc/modprobe.d/rtsx_blacklist.conf, because I blacklisted rtsx_pci before (see step 5 in the present bug description workaround) when I used rts-bpp with ubuntu 14.04 kernel.

So, I think that normally rtsx_blacklist.conf is empty...

Indeed, I will test the latest mainline kernel

[rpaco (rpa-rpaco)]

Finally got this to work on my Zoom Style Note laptop. On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 3.13.0-36 Generic
Card reader has not worked for many updates backwards. 3.11.0-20 was the last to work I think. (I'm guessing it was ages ago)

But some oddities:

Firstly modprobe fails FATAL. Even when card reader is working.

lscpi still shows card reader as "03:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5289 (rev 01)"

Secondly the card reader only works if "sudo insmod rts_bpp.ko" is typed in a terminal after each boot.
I cant help thinking it should have been included in the install automatically.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

exzemat / Alessio Gatti, any change with the latest mainline kernel 3.18-rc3?

exzemat, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from kernel 3.13-rc3 to 3.16-rc7 in order to identify the last bad commit, followed immediately by the first good one. Once this commit has been identified, then it may be reviewed as a candidate for backporting into your release. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F ? Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry, I'm trying to bisect kernel since 3 weeks.
No succeed : I don't understand anything in the documentation :

I have a Realtek 5289 sd card reader. With the rts driver I can read only SDHC cards. But when I read this comment http://askubuntu.com/questions/258533/realtek-card-reader-not-working/261504#261504 I try only to type the command
modprobe tifm_sd
just one time and then even if I reboot I can read also normal SD card. Also the output of lspci changed. Previously was like this:
04:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5289 (rev 01)
and now is
03:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL4811 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01).
I can't now revert the change to confirm what I say, because I am not pretty sure if is the result of the command, but may help to other users.

sugo, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with the Ubuntu repository kernel (not mainline/upstream) via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux

Please feel free to subscribe me to it.

Hello,
On Ubuntu 16.04 I can read but not write.

L'Africain, given this report is about specific hardware not working at all, it will help immensely if you use the computer the problem is reproducible with, and provide necessary debugging logs by filing a new report with Ubuntu via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux

Please feel free to subscribe me to it.

I don't understand exactly what to need, if I run ubuntu-bug linux
Apport opens me a new launchpad page. Either I don't want to open a new
bug just to subscribe to this one. But if I can help with more
information let me know.
