Problem Description:

One particular USB flash-memory stick (identifes itself as "Corsair Voyager") that worked correctly up to 2.6.25, now triggers messages upon insertion in 2.6.27-rc1 and 2.6.27-rc2:

After this, fdisk reports a bogus total capacity:

Disco /dev/sdb: 2199.0 GB, 2199023255552 bytes
16 heads, 61 sectors/track, 4400581 cylinders

/dev/sdb1   *           1        1014      494801+   6  FAT16 

Stick seems to work  "correctly" after this - reads work correctly, have not tested writes. A Sansa Express MP3 player that exposes a USB drive does *not* trigger the bug.

Steps to reproduce:

Get a Corsair Voyager USB stick
Plug it in (in root hub).

Expected:
No errors upon insertion. Reports 507 Mb as total capacity.

Actual:
Several ehci resets. READ_CAPACITY fails and kernel reports a bogus total capacity.

Stick inserted, manually modprobe usb-storage

The bug can be triggered merely by rmmod usb-storage, followed by modprobe usb-storage, with the stick in place in the root hub. Resulting trace attached.
Comment 3 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-08-06 13:56:29 UTC
It would be helpful to verify if 2.6.26 is affected.

usbmon trace with stick inserted, and manually modprobe usb-storage

This is a usbmon trace of the traffic sent when stick is already inserted, with manual loading of usb-storage. Kernel is 2.6.27-rc2
Comment 5 Alex Villacis Lasso 2008-08-06 16:51:35 UTC
Apparently this problem is already known and fixed (though not yet pulled into mainline):

Message http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121804333614405&w=2 contains a fix, and http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121804127910374&w=2 discusses what happened in the regression. 

Currently compiling kernel in order to test the patch.

I hereby confirm that the proposed fix actually works and fixes the errors in my case too. 

For the record, the fix is the following patch:
