Haupauge Nova-T 500 2.6.28 regression dib0700

Haupauge Nova-T 500 2.6.28 regression dib0700

[Janne Grunau]

Hi,

I have some difficulties with the Hauppauge Nova-T 500 and 2.6.28 kernels.

Following USB errors appear with 2.6.28.4 every 100ms:

Feb 15 02:46:03 golem [ 7720.876132] usb 2-1: events/3 timed out on ep1in len=0/6
Feb 15 02:46:03 golem [ 7720.976039] usb 2-1: events/3 timed out on ep1in len=0/6
Feb 15 02:46:03 golem [ 7721.076068] usb 2-1: events/3 timed out on ep1in len=0/6

The device is still useable but occasionally I see the same error
 with additional usb errors (iirc same kernel and config)

Feb 17 20:33:17 golem [   14.733031] ehci_hcd 0000:01:06.2: reused qh ffff8800bf80d140 schedule

Feb 17 20:34:12 golem [  128.130069] usb 2-1: link qh64-0001/ffff8800bf80d140 start 63 [2/0 us]

004000 00000000 -> -110

ehci gives up and the device is unuseabe.

This is still the case with 2.6.28.7.

git bisect blames following change:

2.6.28.x with DVB drivers from v4l-dvb hg works as expected bu I fail
to see which changeset fixed it. If you have an idea I'll test it.
Otherwise I'll bisect v4l-dvb hg.

This should be fixed in 2.6.28-stable.

Hello Janneg,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

We actually rely on the bulk endpoint timing out to query the IR port
if there is no keypress.  I wonder if they introduced a new kernel
warning in 2.6.28.4 when this occurs.

Regarding the other issue, is there any correlation with the errors to
plugging/unplugging the devices?  Perhaps there is an issue with
cancellation of the thread that does the polling when the device is
disconnected.

I actually don't have a Nova-T 500.  I did all the development on the
dib0700 based Pinnacle 801e.

Devin

There's a patch on the linux-media list. Search for a thread with
"dib0700 Nova-TD-Stick problem" as subject.

Seems to be different problem than. At least kernel 2.6.27.x works here
without problems.
