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. > What will happen here if udev is NULL?

I'm not sure if that can happen in practice, but I'll change it just in case. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
