Yep, that's fine.  Sticking it in pastebin (or up on your server) is
also fine, if it gets really big.

No worries! :)  With the dmesg, I can finally see what happened:

[  188.703059] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Cancel URB ffff8800b7d2e0c0, dev 1, ep 0x2, starting at offset 0xbb7b9000
[  188.703072] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: // Ding dong!
[  193.711022] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: xHCI host not responding to stop endpoint command.
[  193.711029] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Assuming host is dying, halting host.
[  193.711046] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: // Halt the HC
[  193.711060] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Killing URBs for slot ID 1, ep index 0
[  193.711066] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Killing URBs for slot ID 1, ep index 2
[  193.711078] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Killing URBs for slot ID 1, ep index 3
[  193.711096] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: Calling usb_hc_died()
[  193.711103] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: HC died; cleaning up
[  193.711116] xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: xHCI host controller is dead.

It seems that the xHCI driver tried to stop the endpoint ring in order
to cancel a SCSI transfer, and the driver never got a response for that.

The offset is rather suspicious (0xbb7b9000), and it probably means the
driver attempted to cancel a transfer that had been moved to the
beginning of the ring segment, with no-op TRBs before the link TRB.

I suspect David's patch triggers a bug in the command cancellation code.
There's also the unlikely possibility that the no-op TRBs did indeed
cause the host to hang.  Either way, I'll have to look into it.

I'll let you know when I have some diagnostic patches ready.
