[sane-devel] GL841 test result

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hi,

I have updated my sources from the CVS and installed the genesys-new
backend. The result is as follows:

$sane-find-scanner
...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2213 [CanoScan],
chip=GL841) at libusb:004:019
...

$ scanimage -d genesys
...
[genesys] genesys_low_bulk_write_data: completed
[genesys] genesys_send_offset_and_shading: completed
[genesys] genesys_mid_init_shading_data: completed
[genesys] genesys_white_shading_calibration (lines = 20)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

by running it in gdb i get:

(gdb) bt
#0  0xb7ea5339 in free () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1  0xb7dfb5ac in genesys_flatbed_calibration (dev=0x72060010)
    at genesys_mid.c:1574
#2  0xb7e04777 in sane_genesys_start (handle=0x8053eb0) at
genesys_mid.c:2423
#3  0x0804b759 in main (argc=3, argv=0xbffff244) at scanimage.c:1133

The lines around genesys_mid.c:1574 are:
...
  if (dev->white_average_data)
    free (dev->white_average_data);
...

Looks like the free is freeing some uninitialised pointer. When I
commented out that line (just to see what happens), it passed through.
Then I got complete scanimage program run, but without actual scanning.
There were I/O problems, however different than the last time - no
timeout, but normal error. How should I know what error it is? 

The errors were:
...
[genesys] genesys_low_bulk_write_register (size = 0)
[genesys] genesys_low_bulk_write_register: failed while writing bulk
data: Error during device I/O
[genesys] genesys_white_shading_calibration: failed to bulk write

[genesys] genesys_flatbed_calibration: failed to do white shading

[genesys] genesys_low_read_register (0x41, 0x5c) completed
... (last line was repeating many times)
...
...
[genesys] genesys_low_read_register (0x41, 0x5c) completed
[genesys] gl841_end_scan: completed (i=300)
[genesys] sane_cancel: exit

Hope that the report helps.

Regards,

Stefan
