Hi Greg, Thank you for the quick follow-up! The submission of >512 URBs is via usbfs, yes. This worked forever, and still works on EHCI, it's just been failing on xHCI once the indicated change was applied. We see failures of our products due to this, which use usbfs. In order to create a simple repro case, we picked a few USB-to-serial devices that we assumed you would have in your possession, removed the kernel function driver, and accessed it in this way via usbfs. There is no specific xHCI controller or USB-to-Serial adapter that always works or always fails. This is quite easy to make fail for us though. I primarily note this because the fail is not 100%, but it is pervasive. We could reproduce within qemu, plus on older Celeron systems, i5-1240p, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, and many other reported failures from the field. Here is the output related to a failing case: user@linux1:~/xhci_bug$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 006: ID 10c4:ea60 Silicon Labs CP210x UART Bridge Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:2514 Microchip Technology, Inc.

Any chance you can provide the 'lspci' output for the controllers that work and those that do not? thanks, greg k-h
