Re: [PATCH] usb: core: don't try to reset_device() a port that got just disconnected

Now that you mention it, that's a very good question. The kernel
enqueues a control transfer to the now disconnected address because
it's internal bookkeeping is not yet updated, but I guess that should
usually fail very fast from an xHC-internal transaction timeout. I
have now tried to debug the cause of this: I see the transfer being
enqueued and the doorbell triggered, but never get a transfer event
back from it (until the software timeout calls usb_kill_urb() which
stops the endpoint). With the same setup on a PantherPoint system I
get the same U1/U2 disable control messages on unplugging, but they
fail within <5ms with a transaction error... so I guess this must be a
LynxPoint hardware bug.

Regardless, calling usb_reset_device() is still wrong and will at
least lead to pointless transfer attempts and error messages, so I
think my patch still has merit.

Right... I'm not sure if that can happen in practice, but I'll change
it just in case.
