A confirmed load_firmware proves only that the new firmware answers vendor READ BUFFERs. libfreemkv's session runs wait_ready before init and never after, so run_probe's READ CAPACITY could see NOT READY, probe a UHD disc at the BD address, and spin validate's five retries. After a confirmed upload, run_init now polls TEST UNIT READY every 500 ms until the drive is ready. Per T6 (stop-design-v5 §2.11), progress is a (sense key, ASC, ASCQ) answer not yet seen in this poll; it fails with the new internal ld Error::NotReady (7104, maps to NotApplicable) only after 60 s without progress. There is no total cap, and a dead bus aborts at once. The wait sits behind a ReadyClock seam, so the tests run the window on a virtual clock. ST-U1 turns the wait into the cancellable pause.
freemkv-unlock
The unlock layer for the freemkv toolchain.
An unlocker removes a drive-level bus-encryption barrier so the drive serves readable (de-bus'd / de-scrambled) sectors. Content-key decryption is a separate concern — the consumer's job.
This crate defines the Unlocker contract and a generic SCSI transport
contract, and holds the self-contained unlocker modules. The consumer
(libfreemkv) depends on this crate and
dispatches through all_unlockers(); it never names an individual unlocker, and
clients of libfreemkv are oblivious to unlockers entirely (as they are to the
SCSI layer).
use freemkv_unlock::UnlockError;
// Drive-prep: try each unlocker's feature unlock until one claims the drive.
// `NotApplicable` means "not this unlocker's drive" — move on; a transport
// error means a dead bus — abort. `unlock_bus` follows the same contract for
// removing per-disc bus encryption.
for u in freemkv_unlock::all_unlockers() {
match u.unlock_features(&mut scsi, &ctx) {
Ok(unlocked) => return Ok(unlocked),
Err(UnlockError::NotApplicable) => continue,
Err(e) => return Err(e),
}
}
To remove an unlocker, delete its module directory and its one line in
all_unlockers() — nothing else changes.
