Subject: Help testing for USB ethernet/xHCI regression
Hi Mark,
You reported that you had an issue with a USB ethernet device on 3.12,
and that updating to 3.13-rc4 (which included commit 587194873820 "xhci:
convert TRB_CYCLE to le32 before using it to set Link TRB's cycle bit")
fixed the issue for you. Later you said applying that patch on top of
3.12 didn't fix your issue. It was unclear whether your issue was fixed
by another patch in 3.13-rc4.
That particular commit is causing regressions in the storage
layer (which we've fixed) and now also the usbfs layer (which has a
potential solution). It also causes issues with 0.96 ASMedia xHCI hosts
(which also has a potential solution).
I'm concerned that there will be further regressions as well. Before
applying additional regression fixes for David's patch, I'd like to slow
down and double check that the patch actually solved the issue it set
out to.
Can you please pull this branch, which contains a 3.13 kernel with
David's patch reverted, and test whether your USB ethernet device works
or fails?
git clone -b 3.13-td-changes-reverted git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sarah/xhci.git
If it fails, please turn on xHCI debugging:
# echo -n 'module xhci_hcd =p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
trigger the failure, and send me the resulting dmesg, along with the
procedure/commands you used to make the device fail.
Also, please double check to see if vanilla 3.13 works or fails.
David, please do the same and send me dmesg.
I know the log will be large due to "untransferred length" message, but
I need those messages, so please compress the files or stick the dmesg
up on pastebin.
Thanks,
Sarah Sharp
