Hi. (please keep me cc'ed in replies, I'm not subscribed) I'm trying OpenWRT on a DSL modem[1] which has an out-of-tree HCI driver. I'm getting one particular process to hang in D 100% of time when talking to a 3G USB modem. I'm on current default OpenWRT kernel, 3.14.18 . Here is the hung process: root@OpenWrt:/# echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger [ 98.160000] SysRq : Show Blocked State [ 98.160000] task PC stack pid father [ 98.160000] gcom D 8030861c 0 2228 2188 0x08100020 [ 98.160000] Stack : 81bde880 00000001 00000000 80307b18 81bde880 80435698 81bde88c 80414c60 81d213c0 00010000 80410000 81bb7180 00000001 8030861c 81bcd480 81452e00 81452e00 803a0000 00000000 814bf070 8007fc04 80435698 80435698 81452e00 803a0000 00000004 81d21380 00000010 81be2800 81828900 00000000 81d08c28 00000000 00000000 81be2804 81be2884 81452e00 803a0000 00000000 81d08c28 ...

If I unplug the modem, process exits and I get the following output: [ 2862.228000] option1 ttyUSB0: usb_wwan_indat_callback: resubmit read urb failed.

Adding printks after the 2 atomic_dec and the only atomic_inc on it, I see this URB's history as: [ 99.284000] 81ae2900->use_count 1 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1553 [ 99.916000] 81ae2900->use_count 2 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1553 [ 99.916000] 81ae2900->use_count 1 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1691 [ 100.332000] 81ae2900->use_count 2 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1553 [ 100.332000] 81ae2900->use_count 1 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1691 [ 101.436000] IFXUSB: 81ae2900 urbd->phase 0 [ 101.440000] 81ae2900->use_count 2 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1553 [ 101.440000] 81ae2900->use_count 1 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:1691 [ 101.512000] wait_event 81ae2900 1553 is right after usb_hcd_submit_urb's atomic_inc 1691 is right after __usb_hcd_giveback_urb's atomic_dec usb_hcd_submit_urb's atomic_dec is not hit. The IFXUSB line is the HCD driver's ifxhcd_urb_dequeue telling it is dequeueing the URB, currently in given phase (here 0, so URBD_IDLE). wait_event line is usb_kill_urb calling wait_event or given URB. This URB does not appear at any time before 99.284, when I started gcom. Is it legal for use_count to exceed 1 ? What would it mean ? Eyeballing usb_wwan I could not see any obvious issue. I saw a large patch set for this driver since 3.14.18 and copied it over (as of linux-stable b0a9aa6da8088b722326a858ab572a13b5b6f9cb), with the only visible improvement of not getting errors when unplugging the modem on stuck process. Is my debugging approach even reliable ? I'm reading use_count right after an atomic_inc, which looks like a bad idea... Any idea on what I should search for/look at next ? I tried calling dump_stack after 1553, but kernel fails booting (maybe URBs timing out just because of printks going through 115200 bauds serial link ?). After ~260 seconds the router reboots (no error message, maybe out of memory because of message buffer growing faster than serial empties it ?). If I only call it when count reaches 2, kernel boots and gives stack traces I do not understand, such as (extracted from above run): [ 99.916000] CPU: 0 PID: 1413 Comm: logd Not tainted 3.14.18 #38 [ 99.916000] Stack : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 8095cdbe 00000033 838bd7e8 803f0000 803c1644 8042136f 00000585 80953b00 838bd7e8 803f0000 81d395a8 00000020 0000000a 802f9998 00000000 80211878 00000000 00000000 803c49a4 838b5ccc 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 838b5c58 ...
