The named commit (6402c796d3) causes a process to hang indefinitely in usb_kill_urb(). Reverting it fixes the problem. The bug also prevents suspend/shutdown/reboot from completing, presumably due to the hanging process. (Cc'ing Stephen Warren because I only found his report after I bisected it myself. Do you also see a blocked process?) This is the hanging process on my system: [ 240.364085] INFO: task colord-sane:3619 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
