khubd blocking in D state with 2.5.5-pre1

Hi Greg,

Since 2.5.5-pre1 I'm using the normal UCHI driver (used the JE one before).

The USB system is as follows:

/proc/bus/usb/devices

My monitor acts as USB hub. When the monitor is switched off and then back
on the khubd kernel thread blocks in D state:

PID TT       USER     COMMAND  TMOUT   F WCHAN   WCHAN
 12 ?        root     khubd        - 140 down   1075e6

dmesg shows:

hub.c: new USB device on bus 1 path /1, assigned address 2
hub.c: new USB device on bus 1 path /2, assigned address 3
hub.c: USB hub found at /2
hub.c: 5 ports detected
hub.c: new USB device on bus 1 path /2/1, assigned address 4
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 2, frame# 1932
usb.c: USB device not responding, giving up (error=-84)
hub.c: new USB device on bus 1 path /2/1, assigned address 5
usb.c: USB device 5 (vend/prod 0x56d/0x2) is not claimed by any active driver.
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 3

Is this a known problem?

Regards,
Udo.

Yes it is.  See the lkml archives for some patches from me and Pat
Mochel that fix this problem.  It is a combination of bugs in both the
USB core, and the driverfs code that cause this.
