The existing drivers are working well indeed. I just wanted to learn the mechanism of block/usb drivers, and I wondered if I can do this by writing a sample driver. The relevant source code has been uploaded at http://learner.kernel.googlepages.com/usb8in1.h http://learner.kernel.googlepages.com/usb_bulk.c http://learner.kernel.googlepages.com/usb_bulk.h http://learner.kernel.googlepages.com/usb_transport.c The function usb8in1_request (in file usb_bulk.c) receives block driver's request and postpone the request processing to workqueue function do_usb8in1_data_transfer (in usb_bulk.c), which submits urb and waits for response (in file usb_transport.c) As I mentioned earlier, this sample driver works for small files but crashes while reading larger files. -Lal > > > Using this driver, I can mount file system on my CF card, and can > > read/write small files to/from CF card.
