From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 264904ccc33c604d4b3141bbd33808152dfac45b ] Some devices I got show an inability to operate right after power on if they are already connected. They are beyond recovery if the descriptors are requested multiple times. So in case of a timeout we rather bail early and reset again. But it must be done only on the first loop lest we get into a reset/time out spiral that can be overcome with a retry. This patch is a rework of a patch that fell through the cracks. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg103263.html Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx> CC: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/usb/core/hub.c | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/hub.c b/drivers/usb/core/hub.c index fd9a20f..bd2db87 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/core/hub.c +++ b/drivers/usb/core/hub.c @@ -4391,7 +4391,13 @@ hub_port_init (struct usb_hub *hub, struct usb_device *udev, int port1, r = -EPROTO; break; } - if (r == 0) + /* + * Some devices time out if they are powered on + * when already connected.
