Hi, [I'm not subscribed to this list, so please CC: me when you answer] I get random machine lockups when accessing my USB harddrive with kernels 2.6.24/25. They don't occur with kernel 2.6.23. During testing I figured out that it has something to do with the USB Bluetooth adaptor. If I remove it before the testing I don't get any lockups. git bisect resulted in the following bad commit: e9df41c5c5899259541dc928872cad4d07b82076 is first bad commit commit e9df41c5c5899259541dc928872cad4d07b82076 Author: Alan Stern Date: Wed Aug 8 11:48:02 2007 -0400 USB: make HCDs responsible for managing endpoint queues This patch (as954) implements a suggestion of David Brownell's. Now the host controller drivers are responsible for linking and unlinking URBs to/from their endpoint queues. This eliminates the possiblity of strange situations where usbcore thinks an URB is linked but the HCD thinks it isn't. It also means HCDs no longer have to check for URBs being dequeued before they were fully enqueued. [TRUNCATED...] I've attached the kernel configuration. Test procedure: - boot test kernel in single user mode - "service rsyslog start" - "service messagebus start" - "service bluetooth start" - connect USB drive - "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" - "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=10M" BAD: lockup, GOOD: writes until partition is full My USB hardware: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 04b4:6830 Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
