After a9dd22b73085734 it should not be necessary as the issue should be resolved. Nevertheless, it turns out that the workaround not only helps in the case that some input reports get dropped (which no longer happens), but also in the case that the underlying usb controllers fail to send the report that request the enumeration of the Unifying receiver. We've seen this ocassionally depending on the usb controllers and some time dependent behaviour. Concluding I'd say that this patch being otherwise harmless, albeit ugly, could be put back in. I'd suggest as well investigating why the usb controllers fails to send the enumeration request with -EPIPE, as this my be hiding a race inside those usb drivers. If we re-add 596264082f10dd4. We should fix setting querying_devices flag to true. This was not done in the original patch. As the impact was not seen and the patch was to be removed anyway it was never corrected. > > > On Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 10:26 AM, Joseph Salisbury > <joseph.salisbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Hi Andrew, >> >> A bug was opened against the Ubuntu kernel[0].
