[Toshiba Tecra R850] SD card reader doesn't work

[Daniel Manrique]

Steps to reproduce:
- Install Natty on a Tecra R850
- Insert SD card into the slot

Expected result:
- Card is recognized and auto-mounted

Actual result:
- Nothing on the desktop, and a lot of errors on syslog/dmesg, as attached (dmesg current).

The card reader is a RIcoh e823, might be related to bug 717435, but I filed as a new bug, since although 717435 is supposed to be fix released, the reader still doesn't work on the Tecra R850.

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

Assigning to the QA team

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I imagine the SD card has been tested in other systems and it works okay. Is that right? I've also sometimes find that cleaning out card readers resolves issues like these.

Still assigning to the kernel team though.

[David Duffey (dduffey)]

It appears that this SD card reader may be the same that is found on the Lenovo X220, which works (717435). I would leave room for someone with more expertise to verify the system here and on 717435 are actually the same SD card readers. Is there a way to verity that any firmware involved is the same or running different versions?

But we have two R850s, one Intel based, another AMD based, that both have this problem. So it is unlikely a dirty card reader.

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

Appears to be the same issue we see with MMC cards on the X220.
mmcblk0: error -110 sending status command

IMHO this is caused because the MMC function of the Card reader chipset gets in the way of the SD interfaces in the driver, there is a way to disable the MMC function of the chipset so that we can use the SD interfaces in the kernel to read MMC/SD/SDHCI cards. We need to know the PCI config bits that needs to be written to the chipset. If the BIOS vendor can give us that information we should be able to get this working. Please refer to my email communications to the linux-input upstream mailing list for details.

[Alexandre (ab-linuxfr)]

The Toshiba Portégé R830 is also affected by the bug.
I'm using kubuntu natty.

[David Duffey (dduffey)]

Some more information:

We found the following information "check the class code of SD controller on Tecra R850. If the class code is not "0x05", SDHCI driver is not installed. because the class code must be 0x05 for SDHCI. The class code is the offset address 0x0A in Configuration register of Ricoh SD host controller, DID 0xE823."

We then ran the following:

"ubuntu@201103-7412:~$ lspci
... lots of irrelevant devices ...
01:00.0 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e823 (rev 04)
01:00.1 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e232 (rev 04)
01:00.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e852 (rev 07)
... irrelevant devices ...

so I want to query device 01:00.0.

ubuntu@201103-7412:~$ setpci -vD -s 01:00.0 0x0A.w
0000:01:00.0 @0a = 0880

It looks to me like it's *not* 0x05 as it should be..."

When looking at the ubuntu git tree, it appears that it should already "work"
 * sdhci-pci.c has already included Ricoh R5U220, 0xE823 device ID, so the driver would be installed on Tecra R850.
 * And sdhci.c and sdhci.h has included "Base clock frequency change in spec3.0".

In summary, I will see if we are looking at the correct value in the configuration editor.

The issue exist also in linux 3.0 (linux-image-3.0.0-0300rc2-generic_3.0.0-0300rc2.201106081532_amd64)
and linux 2.6.39 (linux-image-2.6.39-020639rc4-generic_2.6.39-020639rc4.201104191410_amd64)

[Giuseppe Paterno' (gpaterno)]

Everybody subscribed to this bug, please verify that this trick will work for you:

sudo setpci -v -d 1180:e823 f9.B=fc
sudo setpci -v -d 1180:e823 150.B=10
sudo setpci -v -d 1180:e823 f9.B=00

sudo setpci -v -d 1180:e823 fc.B=00

sudo rmmod sdhci_pci
sudo rmmod sdhci
sudo modprobe sdhci
sudo modprobe sdhci_pci

If yes, I will create a patch for sdhci-pci.c

[meitham (meitham)]

@gpaterno fix tested on these three kernels and it worked on all three of them:
* 2.6.38-10-generic
* 2.6.39-020639rc4-generic and
* 3.0.0-0300rc2-generic

Cheers to @gpaterno

[Andrey Krutov (a-o-krutov)]

It works on 3.0-2-generic!

[vilmos (vilmos)]

Fix from #13 works on my Thinkpad X220.

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

Hi Giuseppe,

Tested on both my R850s, one Intel and one ATI/AMD, both work perfectly with the trick you suggested, card gets recognized and mounted without problems.

This works even on a stock 2.6.38-8 Natty kernel.

Thanks so much!

[Bram Biesbrouck (b-m)]

I confirm this works on Lenovo Thinkpad X220 with kernel 2.6.39-0-generic on Natty (x86_64)

[David Duffey (dduffey)]

For those reporting success on the X220, are you using an SD card that was not working before the setpci commands, or are you using an MMC card? I was under the impression that SD cards worked on the X220, and this problem was unique to the Toshiba R850s.

Also, for documentation's sake here is the equivalent kernel code that should do the same as the setpci commands:

      // add below for ricoh e823 before pci_read_config in "Device
probing" and in sdhci_pci_resume.

      pci_write_config_byte(pdev, 0xf9, 0xfc);
      pci_write_config_byte(pdev, 0xf150, 0x10);
      pci_write_config_byte(pdev, 0xf9, 0x00);

      pci_write_config_byte(pdev, 0xfc, 0x01);
      pci_write_config_byte(pdev, 0xe1, 0x32);
      pci_write_config_byte(pdev, 0xfc, 0x00);
         // end of adding code for ricoh e823

[Bram Biesbrouck (b-m)]

@David: I'm using an SDXC (64GB) on a Thinkpad X220 that didn't work before without the setpci commands.

[Andrey Krutov (a-o-krutov)]

Some SD cards works on X220, some doesn't work (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/773524/comments/9). Now I'm using SD card on X220 that didn't work before.

[Giuseppe Paterno' (gpaterno)]

I don't have access to a Lenovo x220 or tecra R850 myself, so I would really appreciate if you can try with this module:
http://www.gpaterno.com/external/sdhci_pci_patch.tar

it's a recompiled version of sdhci-pci.ko for 2.6.38 ***32 BIT ONLY*** (i.e. i686, no 64-bit)

so remove it first with rmmod sdhci-pci and then insmod sdhci-pci.ko
try also to search in dmesg for "Ricoh E823 MMC detected"
If it is working, I will post the patch for sdhci-pci.c

Thank you.

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

Hello,

So I compiled and tried the updated module.

I tried outright replacing the existing sdhci-pci module and rebooting, to see how it behaves under that circumstance. When I do that, I don't get the "Ricoh E823 MMC detected, slowing down the bus" string, and so the reader doesn't work (old behavior where it says "error -110 whilst initialising").

I then rebooted, removed the module and reinserted it, and I get this in dmesg:

[ 361.638355] sdhci-pci 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
[ 365.436461] sdhci-pci 0000:01:00.0: SDHCI controller found [1180:e823] (rev 4)
[ 365.436551] sdhci-pci 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[ 365.436560] Ricoh E823 MMC detected, slowing down the bus

So at least it's recognizing the reader and (hopefully) issuing the PCI commands.

However I get this when I insert the card:

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

Can you please test the kernel in

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~manjo/oneiric/lp773524ricoh/

and report back here ?

PS: it is an oneiric based kernel but it should install on natty just fine.

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

Hi Manoj,

I tried the stock Oneiric kernel on my Natty R850 and it doesn't work, shows error -110 whilst initialising. I tried several Kingston 1GB cards and a 128-MB one.

However the kernel you posted (3.0 with apparently some changes) does work, just as if the PCI commands from #13 had been issued, which so far is the only other way I've gotten the R850 reader to work.

I tried with several Kingston 1 GB cards (the ones I normally use) and the 128-MB card I had lying around, all worked fine.

they say this:

[ 372.373594] mmc0: new SD card at address b368
[ 372.374011] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SD 970 MiB
[ 372.375710] mmcblk0: p1

I even tried one with a borked partition table (doesn't work, but at least the kernel sees it):
[ 381.900701] mmc0: new SD card at address b368
[ 381.901092] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SD 970 MiB

Let me know if you need some more info on this.

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

can you please test the kernel in

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~manjo/oneiric/lp773524ricoh/v2/

and report back here? this kernel should fix issues with the card after resume from suspend.

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

Manoj,

Tested your latest kernel on the R850, suspend/resume and even hibernate/restore behavior is correct now, I see no errors in the logs when restoring/resuming, I even tested leaving the card inside while suspending/hibernating and it restores/resumes OK and auto-mounts the card.

Kernel version string is:
Linux version 3.0.0-4-generic-pae (root@tangerine) (gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-2ubuntu1) ) #5 SMP Mon Jul 11 19:44:11 UTC 2011

Thanks!

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

Daniel,

Here is the final version of the kernel that I am going to propose to upstream. Can you please verify that it works just as well as the previous one ?

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~manjo/oneiric/lp773524ricoh/v3/

and report back here.

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

Hi Manoj,

Here's the kernel version string:

Linux 201103-7412 3.0.0-4-generic-pae #5 SMP Mon Jul 11 20:26:49 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I tested this on both my R850s (Intel and AMD GPUs respectively). I tested:

- Inserting and removing the card. Gets recognized and auto-mounted.
- Inserting and removing the card after suspend (S3). Works fine as above.
- Inserting and removing the card after hibernate (S4). Works fine as above.
- Inserting the card, suspending, resuming. The card still gets detected and mounted as soon as the system is back up.
- Inserting the card, hibernating, restoring. Same as above.
- Several crazy combinations such as removing the card while the system is suspended/hibernating. Works as expected and the card gets recognized if I insert it after the system is back up.

Thanks, let me know if you want me to do some more tests on this.

I second Andrey with a request for a 64bit version of the kernel...

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

Andrey, Bram,

The kernels I posted was for testing purpose only, I am SRUing this in Natty and Oneiric, it is better to have an official kernel than to have one custom rolled. If it gets accepted it should hit proposed tree soon.

Thanks

[Manoj Iyer (manjo)]

SRU JUSTIFICATION
================

EFFECT
======
Ricoh 1180:e823 does not recognize certain types of SD/MMC cards.
- Buffalo SD 512MB
  dmesg: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector xxx
- Kingston SD 2GB
  dmesg: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector xxx
- Patriot Micro SDHC
  dmesg: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector xxx.

FIX
===
Lowering the SD base clock frequency from 200Mhz to 50Mhz fixes this issue. This solution was suggest by Koji Matsumuro, Ricoh Company, Ltd.

TEST
====
Performance test results with various MMC and SD cards were posted to https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/11/381 and also part of the results attached to this bug.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-natty' to 'verification-done-natty'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

Hi Herton,

I installed and tested the kernel from -proposed on two Toshiba R850s, one with Intel graphics, the other with AMD Radeon graphics.

Both systems failed as described originally when inserting the SD card.

With the new kernel the card reader works! I tested with 1-GB Kingston SD cards.

This is what I see in /var/log/syslog:

Sep 6 13:51:23 201103-7412 kernel: [ 99.940660] mmc0: new SD card at address b368
Sep 6 13:51:23 201103-7412 kernel: [ 99.999328] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SD 970 MiB
Sep 6 13:51:23 201103-7412 kernel: [ 100.000521] mmcblk0: p1

The card automounts under /media/something-or-other, I then tested writing about 150 MB worth of files which went on without any reported errors in syslog.

Kernel version string is:
Linux version 2.6.38-11-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) ) #49-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 29 20:47:58 UTC 2011

This was tried on both R850s with similar success.

I'm tagging verification-done-natty per Herton's request.

Thanks so much for getting this fix into -proposed!

The problem still occurs on the Thinkpad T420s with Oneiric ("Ricoh Co Ltd Device e823 (rev 04)"). An inserted SD Card is not recognized at all.

[Christoph H. (chille07)]

The problem also still occurs on Thinkpad X220t with Oneiric ("Ricoh Co Ltd Device e823 (rev 07)") with a SDHC-Card with 8GB.
Errormessage in /var/log/kern.log is: "mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card".
I also tried #13, then it worked for yesterday after a reboot, but I have the same problem today and #13 is not working anymore...

[TienFu Chen (ctf)]

My X220 has the same problem on specified SD card. Comment #13 works for me.
I updated to kernel:

However problem still exists.

I took a look at the source of 2.6.38-12.51, the fix seems not in the source sdhci-pci.c

"and ubuntu automounted the card and i was about to get around 4 gigs of video off of it."
should read
"and ubuntu automounted the card and i was *able* to get around 4 gigs of video off of it.

I have the same bug on my Thinkpad 220i with Ubuntu 11.10 and the official 3.1 kernel. I tried the fix in #13 and that works for me. But is that fix permanent after reboots?

[ValdikSS (valdikss)]

Hello.
I have Lenovo Thinkpad X220 and I have some issues with the cardreader. My cardreader is Ricoh Co Ltd MMC/SD Host Controller (rev 07), not rev 04 as others have on this laptop.
This issue can be fixed for me using debug_quirks=0x40 or a bunch of setpci's mentioned in comment #13.
If I put a card to the cardreader I got:
mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
or
mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card
I hope we'll see the fix soon.
Sorry for my bad English.

[ValdikSS (valdikss)]

Oh, sorry, just found that my cardreader is e822 with ID [1180:e822], not e823. Should I make another bug and not to write here?

[Daniel Manrique (roadmr)]

ValdikSS,

The fix submitted for this bug triggers only if the exact PCI device identifier [1180:e823] is found. Thus it sounds reasonable that, if you have a different reader, the fix would not work automatically, but does when you run the commands manually.

So please do file another bug. Open a terminal and type:

ubuntu-bug linux

This will attach relevant information to your report. Once your report has been filed, please add a comment indicating that manually applying the configuration on comment #13 from this bug (773524) fixes your problem (if indeed that is the case).

Thanks!

[igorsh (ishipenkov)]

in my Thinkpad X220i cardreader has id 1180:e823 but it still not work with kernel 3.0 or 3.1

The same situation as in #57 for my thinkpad x220 with

It gets same messages in dmesg. But work perfectly after run #13.

[Thomas Sibley (thomas-sibley)]

Thinkpad T420s with what appears to be the same problem, but the workaround in comment #13 doesn't fix it for me. Neither does "options sdhci debug_quirks=0x40" in /etc/modprobe.d/sdhci.conf and an rmmod/modprobe.

Revision 07 of the Ricoh device, not 04 like others.

Still not working by default for me, Toshiba Satellite R830:

Fix in #13 works though.

[steve bruce (sproot)]

Typically, right after I posted #60 update manager popped up and offered a new kernel:

$ uname -a
Linux Tosh 3.0.0-13-generic-pae #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 15:17:35 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It works fine now, I presume it's the kernel and not the fix in #13 being persistent across reboots.

[Thomas Sibley (thomas-sibley)]

On oneiric, still doesn't work with 3.0.0-13 kernel, even with the workaround from #13.

tom@whaam ~ $ uname -a

[Jawaid Bazyar (jb-forethought)]

The fix in #13 works for me too.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T420s with 11.10.

Linux shell2 3.0.0-13-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 2 13:25:36 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[Jawaid Bazyar (jb-forethought)]

And like Steve in #62, kernel update 3.0.0-14 seems to fix it as well.

[Kristian Rink (kawazu)]

Seeing something akin to this on a Toshiba Tecra M11, installed 11.10 yesterday. Kernel seems to be up to date:

Linux node428 3.0.0-14-generic-pae #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 22:07:10 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Device seems a bit different though:

01:00.0 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd MMC/SD Host Controller (rev 01)
01:00.1 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Memory Stick Host Controller (rev 01)
01:00.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Device e852 (rev 01)

Adding to this, it seems the device supports ejecting the card via software control, and as far as I have seen now, I got the card to remain loaded only once, seeing this in dmesg...

[Scott Howard (showard314)]

comments #48, 59, 66 say that the workaround doesn't fix T420 thinkpads. I have a T420, and it still doesn't work. However, comment #63 confirms that comment #13's fix works for T420s.

Since enough users have confirmed that it is still present in T420, I'm reopening bug #879674.

[Scott Howard (showard314)]

[Thomas Sibley (thomas-sibley)]

Comment #13 does _not_ work for me on a T420s. Any ideas?

Comment #13 works on T61 and Debian Squeeze.

[Emeric Vigier (emeric-vigier)]

Workaround from comment #13 works for me as well on my Lenovo thinkpad x220 running Linux Mint 12 with linux-3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 SMP. I guess I will need to update to kernel 3.0.0-14 to get it fixed forever.

debug_quirks=0x40 worked for me on lucid 2.6.38-15.

This just happened to me on Precise with this kernel, so it looks like the fix for Natty & Oneiric needs to be applied to Precise also.
