Your host controller reports the Inactive state after a USB disconnect. My host controllers go to the RxDetect state on a disconnect. The patches that went into 3.8 and the stable kernels to better handle the Inactive state were not designed to handle a connected device going to the Inactive state. I thought that would be a rare case, but apparently it's not. There was a further set of patches queued for 3.9 to deal with connected devices going to the Inactive state, but they looked like they were too big for stable: d3b9d7a USB: Fix connected device switch to Inactive state. a24a607 USB: Rip out recursive call on warm port reset. 2d4fa94 USB: Prepare for refactoring by adding extra udev checks. 0fe51aa USB: Don't use EHCI port sempahore for USB 3.0 hubs. Can you retry with Greg's usb-next branch? git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git -b usb-next If that fixes your problem, we should either get those additional patches into 3.8 and the stable trees, or do a revert of the whole series and just let 3.9 carry the full patchset.
