[REGRESSION] USB flash drive unusable with constant resets, since commit 4f53138fff

[Joao Machado <jocrismachado@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Linux Distribution: Archlinux

Kernel version: 6.9.1

Noticed my "Kingston DataTraveler G2" is unusable on kernel 6.9.x, constantly resetting in a loop:

This is not affecting all USB flash drive models. For instance, this device works fine:

Proceeded to bisect the kernel, which points to commit 4f53138fffc2b18396859aa4ff3e7ef2b0839c2b causing the issue to surface.

Changing USB port made no difference. Tried the same device on a different computer using kernel 6.9.2 - issue replicates.

Attached bisection log, systemd journal kernel logs.
