Re: kernel Oops: 0003 on usbhid_submit_report

Hi,

I just wanna followup this issue a bit more.

We have now tested on several hardware platform, and it is only on one platform it fails. The platform it fails on is Atom Intel e6xx CPU with EG20T PCH platform controller. We do not observe it on the Intel i7 3517UE CPU with Intel 6/7 series system controller.

We see this error around 4 times over 100 boots / 2 hours runtime.

After the Oops our process is in uninterruptable sleep state (D state). The process is not killable  when in this state. The process also uses around 70% CPU, maybe because it is waiting for the ioctl system call to return?

We haven't found another way to recover from besides rebooting the system.

How can we proceed to fix this issue?
