Dan, can you test this patch, on top of the other patch that Ben sent? There's directions for building a custom kernel here, if you need it: http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelBuild I suggest either getting the Debian kernel source and patching that, or patching 3.12.6 or later. Sarah Sharp 8<------------------------------------------------------------------>8 Commit 35773dac5f862cb1c82ea151eba3e2f6de51ec3e "usb: xhci: Link TRB must not occur within a USB payload burst" attempted to fix an issue found with USB ethernet adapters, and inadvertently broke USB storage devices. The patch attempts to ensure that transfers never span a segment, and rejects transfers that have more than 63 entries (or possibly less, if some entries cross 64KB boundaries). usb-storage limits the maximum transfer size to 120K, and we had assumed the block layer would pass a scatter-gather list of 4K entries, resulting in no more than 31 sglist entries: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=138498190419312&w=2 That assumption was wrong, since we've seen the driver reject a write that was 218 sectors long (of probably 512 bytes each): Jan 1 07:04:49 jidanni5 kernel: [ 559.624704] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Too many fragments 79, max 63 ... Jan 1 07:04:58 jidanni5 kernel: [ 568.622583] Write(10): 2a 00 00 06 85 0e 00 00 da 00 Limit the number of scatter-gather entries to half a ring segment. That should be margin enough in case some entries cross 64KB boundaries. Increase the number of TRBs per segment from 64 to 256, which should result in ring segments fitting on a 4K page.
