Subject: [BUG] bisected: PandaBoard smsc95xx ethernet driver error from USB timeout
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 20:29:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <514A7E81.9000501@am.sony.com> (raw)
Hi All,
Not quite sure quite where the problem is (USB, OMAP, smsc95xx driver, other???),
so casting the nets wide...
The PandaBoard frequently fails to boot with an eth0 error when mounting
the root file system via NFS (ethernet driver fails due to a USB timeout;
no ethernet means NFS won't work). A typical set of error messages is:
[ 3.264373] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: usb_probe_interface
[ 3.269500] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id
[ 3.275543] smsc95xx v1.0.4
[ 8.078674] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: eth0: register 'smsc95xx' at usb-ehci-omap.0-1.1, smsc95xx USB 2.0 Ethernet, 82:b9:1d:fa:67:0d
[ 8.091003] hub 1-1:1.0: state 7 ports 5 chg 0000 evt 0002
[ 13.509918] usb 1-1.1: swapper/0 timed out on ep0out len=0/4

[ 13.529998] IP-Config: Failed to open eth0
I have bisected this to:

USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for the I/O watchdog
Note that to compile this version of the kernel, an additional fix must
also be applied:

USB: ehci-omap: fix compile failure(v1)
The symptom can be worked around by retrying the USB access if a timeout
occurs. This is clearly _not_ the fix, just a hack that I used to
investigate the problem:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.rt.user/9773
My kernel configuration is:
arch/arm/configs/omap2plus_defconfig
plus to get the ethernet driver I add:
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD
CONFIG_USB_NET_SMSC95XX
I found the problem on 3.6.11, but have not replicated it on 3.9-rcX
yet because my config fails to build on 3.9-rc1 and 3.9-rc2. I'll try
to work on that issue tomorrow.
