Description Aaron Barany 2011-05-01 23:48:51 UTC 
After upgrading from kernel 2.6.38.3 to 2.6.38.4, my MCEUSB remote that was plugged into a USB 3.0 port stopped working. It shows up in lsusb, but it is otherwise unrecognized and doesn't create /dev/lirc0 device or entry in /sys/class/rc. If I plug it into a USB 2.0 port, then it is recognized again. Also, I tried a USB flash drive, mouse, and USB network card in the same USB 3.0 port, and all of them worked fine. For some reason, it's just the MCEUSB remote that fails to work.

Here's the errors that get logged when I try to use my remote in the USB 3.0 port:
May  1 16:22:53 localhost kernel: [  461.352298] xhci_hcd 0000:02:00.0: ERROR: unexpected command completion code 0x11.
May  1 16:22:53 localhost kernel: [  461.352304] usb 2-3: can't set config #1, error -22

Comment 1 Jarod Wilson 2011-05-03 20:52:09 UTC 
This is a new one to me, partially because I haven't got any systems with USB3 ports yet. I've got one showing up later this week though, so I'll try to reproduce the issue on my end too.
Comment 2 Alan Stern 2011-05-14 23:00:44 UTC 
One thing that might help is to collect a usbmon trace showing what happens when the remote is plugged in.  Instructions are in the kernel source file Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.

For comparison, it would be a good idea to attach as well a similar usbmon trace showing what happens when the remote is plugged into a USB-2.0 port.

Comment 5 Aaron Barany 2011-05-15 00:28:58 UTC 
I have attached the output when connecting via USB 2 and 3. I disconnected all USB devices except for my keyboard and mouse for these runs, and collected input only when connecting the remote.
Comment 6 Alan Stern 2011-05-15 17:34:03 UTC 
Okay, this is just a guess, but it's quite likely that your problem will be fixed by a patch that was posted just a couple of days ago:

   http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=130531740713842&w=2

The patch fixes a recently-introduced error in the interpretation of interrupt endpoint periods for full-speed devices under xHCI.
Comment 7 Florian Mickler 2011-06-06 16:34:03 UTC 
Aaron, the patch mentioned in comment #6 has been merged for 3.0-rc1 and backported to v2.6.38.8 and v2.6.39.1 . 

Can you test if any of those fix your issue?
Comment 8 Aaron Barany 2011-06-11 09:49:53 UTC 
After updating, it appears to work.
Comment 9 Florian Mickler 2011-06-11 11:01:01 UTC 
Fix merged in v3.0-rc1:
