I don't know about the e000 bits in the upper part of the word; according to my copy of the spec those bits should be 0. If your machine has only two physical SuperSpeed (USB-3) ports then perhaps the other four ports are internally wired in a way that creates a permanent over-current indication. > [14766.973771] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: set port remote wake mask, actual port 0 status = 0xe000088 > [14766.973780] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: set port remote wake mask, actual port 1 status = 0xe000088 > [14766.973789] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: set port remote wake mask, actual port 2 status = 0xe0002a0 > [14766.973798] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: set port remote wake mask, actual port 3 status = 0xe0002a0 > [14766.973807] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: set port remote wake mask, actual port 4 status = 0xe0002a0 > [14766.973816] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: set port remote wake mask, actual port 5 status = 0xe0002a0 > [14766.973830] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Bus suspend bailout, port over-current detected > > Repeating again and again.

The usbmon output has a lot of gaps, but here we can see some of the port status data contains 0x0088 (four bytes little-endian) and some contains 0x02a0 -- the same as what the debugging log says. So yes, this looks like a hardware design error. Turning off autosuspend by writing to the sysfs power/control file is probably the best way to handle the problem. Alan Stern
