Problem Description: 
  No high-speed USB devices work when ehci_hcd is loaded. In the logs all that 
shows up is: 
  Jan  5 10:53:06 localhost kernel: usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using 
ehci_hcd and address 3 
  Jan  5 10:53:07 localhost kernel: usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using

ehci_hcd and address 5 
  Jan  5 10:53:08 localhost kernel: usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using 
ehci_hcd and address 6 
   
  Nothing else is displayed, and the device does not work, does not show up with 
lsusb, etc. Now, if I remove ehci_hcd with 'modprobe -r ehci_hcd', I get the 
following in the logs: 
  Jan  5 10:54:21 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.4: remove, state 1

  Now the device works perfectly, except that it's in fall-back mode as a Full 
Speed USB device, controlled by uhci_hcd. This is reasonably okay for a 1GB USB 
pen drive, but not for several 250GB USB externally encloded hard-drives! 
 
  Note that this happens with any High Speed USB I have tried. All of them work 
perfectly on several other systems with an identical software configuration 
(kernel, OS, etc), except that they are x86 instead of x86_64. (But they do have 
uhci and ehci compatible USB hosts, are motherboards from ASUS, etc). 
 
Steps to reproduce: 
  1) Find a computer that has this problem. 
  2) Make sure uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd are loaded 
  3) Plug in a High Speed USB device 
  4) Notice that it doesn't work 
  5) modprobe -r ehci_hcd 
  6) Notice that it now works, as a Full Speed device
Comment 1 Matthew Dharm 2006-01-16 10:24:11 UTC
When you report that this failure occurs with other high-speed devices, does
that include non-storage devices?
Comment 2 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-01-16 16:00:51 UTC
> When you report that this failure occurs with other high-speed devices,

I'm afraid I only have storage devices that support high-speed USB: 2 
high-speed USB Flash units and a high-speed USB HD enclosure.  
 
Other (working) connected devices include a Handspring Visor, an APC UPS, and a 
older Canon digital camera, but it doesn't appear that any of these are 
high-speed devices, sorry. 
Comment 3 Matthew Dharm 2006-01-16 16:12:19 UTC
What is the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices and output from lsmod when you
have the device attached and ehci_hcd loaded (i.e. the failure case)?
Comment 4 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-01-16 16:25:37 UTC
Okay, here it is, with ehci_hcd loaded, and then immediately after unloading 
it. Plugged in is just my APC UPS and a Sandisk USB flash drive.

Comment 5 Matthew Dharm 2006-01-16 19:01:17 UTC
Okay, your device isn't even enumerating properly on the USB bus at high-speed.
 This isn't a usb-storage problem; that driver hasn't even been selected for the
device yet.

This bug needs to be re-assigned.
Comment 6 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2006-02-10 16:27:41 UTC
Can you try 2.6.16-rc2?  Some ehci bios fixes are in there.
Comment 7 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-02-10 18:07:55 UTC
Okay, I will try 2.6.16-rc2 and report back.
Comment 8 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-02-11 09:26:14 UTC
I just tried with 2.6.16-rc2, but got the same results: it doesn't even 
enumerate with ehci_hcd loaded (but apparently attempts to, according to the 
logs), but if I removed ehci_hcd it starts to work (because of fallback to 
uhci_hcd).

The syslogs, contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices, and output of lsusb before and 
after ehci_hcd is removed look the same as I posted previously.

Again, this is happening on an x86_64 (in x86_64 mode), so I don't know if 
there is something to do with 64-bit cleanness, or if it's just an issue of the 
newer hardware.

One thing I could possibly try is to boot up a live-CD in x86 mode and see if 
it works then... let me see if I can do that; I'll post what happens (it might 
be with an slightly older kernel, though).
Comment 9 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-02-11 09:42:02 UTC
Tried an x86 live-CD (Ubuntu) with their 2.6.10 kernel on the same computer. 
The behavior was pretty much the same (when ehci_hcd is loaded, detects the 
insertion, but doesn't actually enumerate right; if ehci_hcd is removed, it 
falls back to uhci_hcd and works).

So it does seem to have to do with this computer's hardware as opposed to being 
in 64-bit mode.

Please let me know if I can provide more info or assistance.
Comment 10 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2006-02-14 17:35:24 UTC
David, this looks like a problem that others are having...

I have also something similar here x86_64 (AMD Athlon X2)
Linux azul1 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 #2 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 16 00:30:26 CET 2006 x86_64
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

With some configurations it also fails...

Comment 12 Gonzalo Aguilar 2006-02-15 16:10:51 UTC
I removed ehci_hcd support from kernel and now it works perfectly without
problems but with usb 1.1 mode I suppose.

If you need something please tell me.

I uploaded files with information about the problem in my computer, i think 
could be useful to solve it.
Those files are from kernel 2.6.15 (Debian), I tryed with a knoppix LiveCD 
distro and the problems remains the same.
Note about in dmesg information, the error

David, any ideas?
Comment 21 Joel Johnson 2006-03-09 22:16:21 UTC
FWIW, I've been having the same issues on on Athlon 1.2 GHz machine with an 
add-on ALi USB PCI Card. This would seem to eliminate 64 vs. 32 bit problems as 
well as manufacturer/chipset issues since different chipsets reported above. 
Same symptoms - high speed device doesn't work with ehci-hcd loaded, as soon as 
it is removed, works great (albeit only at Full Speed).

`lspci | grep USB`:

Also, ehci-hcd being loaded seems to cause problems on restore from S3 standby, 
but that's for a different bugreport.
Comment 22 Tim Tassonis 2006-03-14 01:25:21 UTC
I have the same problems on my IBM Thinkpad Laptop (definitely 32 bit...). I
assumed it is a hardware problem, as it started to happen one day, without a
kernel upgrade. Just a shame the fallback doesn't happen automatically. I have
to rmmod ehci_hcd before plugging in my USB storage device. I even had cases
where the negitioation was successful with ehci and I could mount my drive, but
then suddenly it got errors. Certainly my USB2 controller is to blame.
Comment 23 Diego Burigo Zacar 2006-03-14 13:27:04 UTC
I have the same problem on FC4 using the kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 and 2.6.15.6
(Vanilla). If I to remove ehci_hcd (modprobe -r ehci_hcd) my printer works, but
it's very slow (10 min. for print a page), because it's working on uhci_hcd (USB
1.1). The printer needs high speed like ehci_hcd (USB 2.0).

Comment 24 Eugene Seppel 2006-03-23 05:05:32 UTC
I have also similar problem.
Hardware: 
CPU: AMD64 3200+
MotherBoard: ASUS A8VE-SE
USB 2.0 controllers: VIA (integrated) or NEC (PCI)
Kernels 2.6.13 (SuSE), 2.6.15, 2.6.16 (in 32 or in 64 bit mode, never mind)

USB 2.0 Transcend flash works extremely slow with kernel 2.6 (12 KB/s). But with
2.4.26 or with another OS it works well (~2MB/s)
Comment 25 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-03-23 16:00:36 UTC
Just verified this problem still exists with 2.6.16, so bumping that field.
Comment 26 Vincent Fortier 2006-03-29 06:19:14 UTC

Curiously it happend with the default 2.6.16 kernel from FC5 and also using
2.6.17-rc0-git13 (was testing the libata update).  I don't know if other people
had this but the problem occured, I think, only after my screen went black
resulting of a period of inactivity...  When I came back to my PC my USB mouse
started acting weird... In a shell I rmmod ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd and
reregistered uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd using modprobe... Now everything works
fine... and my mouse is back to normal...

The dmesg error I got seemed to focus on my flash card reader (which is now
disconnected):

experimental 2.6.17-rc3 SET_ADDRESS patch

There's much wierdness here.

I'm attaching one experimental patch to handle SET_ADDRESS errors
a bit differently ... this might affect some of the failure modes
that have been tacked onto this bug report.  The issue being that
if SET_ADDRESS fails, the peripheral state is indeterminate ... so
the patch just forces a reset.	(There's a potential losing path,
when the SET_ADDRESS actually took effect but the host couldn't know,
the previous code would work ... that's the only case the previous
code would work, NOT the case where SET_ADDRESS really failed.)
Comment 29 David Brownell 2006-05-03 15:15:47 UTC
The original report is pretty different from all the others ... it's 
troublesome to see multiple unrelated problems grouped under the same 
bug id. 
 
As for that first problem report ('comment #0') those log messages 
aren't at all helpful; we need CONFIG_USB_DEBUG output too.  In fact, 
you seem to be getting syslogged data rather than the direct "dmesg" 
output, so it's very possible there's information describing the key 
details that you just didn't include. 
 
 
Comment #11 has some very strange stuff ... the descriptors being 
read after the device reset are different from the originals, and 
that's why the reset reports that the firmware changed. 
 
Comment 30 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-05-03 15:49:06 UTC
I am the original reporter. I can't do much about the other reports being 
unrelated, and I obviously am most concerned with my particular bug, but fixing 
any of them of course would be progress. =)

Anyway, I'll go compile 2.6.17-rc3 with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG and show direct dmesg 
output. Is there anything else that would be helpful?
Comment 31 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-05-03 17:12:49 UTC
Okay, with 2.6.17-rc3 with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG on, here is the incremental dmesg 
output. Very verbose, but hopefully helpful. Please let me know if there is 
other diagnostic info that you would like:

Comment 33 Alan Stern 2006-05-04 08:27:49 UTC
Some of the problems reported here could be caused by poor-quality USB cables,
perhaps even the internal cables that connect the USB port on the computer case
with the motherboard connector.  They might be good enough to work at 12 Mb/s
but not at 480 Mb/s.
Comment 34 David Brownell 2006-05-04 11:09:40 UTC
As for that original report, I see that port 5 is misbehaving.  As Alan noted, 
that could be because of wiring problems.  Do all the other ports have the same 
issue?  Sometimes the USB ports on the motherboard work fine, but the ones 
hooked up to case expanders (front panel, side panel, etc) have poor quality 
wiring that causes that sort of problem... 
 
Those "error 71" problems are annoying, luckily most folk don't see them.  
That's "EPROTO", which in this case got reported when there were three 
consecutive lowlevel errors:  timeout (device didn't respond to a usb token), 
wrong PID (responded incorrectly), bad CRC (ditto), and so on.  Some users have 
confirmed that these problems kick in with bad case expander cables. 
 
If you happen to have hardware tools like an oscilloscope, you might try 
putting together an "eye diagram" to see if there are signal quality issues 
that could explain the problem you're seeing. 
 
Wesley ... one more thing to try, just in case, is to make sure you load the 
EHCI driver **FIRST** not last.  It's not supposed to matter, but some users 
have reported that it does. 
 
Comment 35 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-05-04 11:34:32 UTC
Plugging it in a different port doesn't make much difference. The previous 
reports were plugging in the front panel, but I have tried multiple devices on 
multiple ports (front and back of the computer) to no avail. Here is the 
incremental dmesg from plugging it in the back (a connector directly soldered 
to the motherboard).

As for module ordering, it doesn't seem to make any difference. I get the same 
results if I do:

$ modprobe -r ehci_hcd uhci_hcd
$ modprobe ehci_hcd
$ lsmod | grep hcd
ehci_hcd               51208  0
### insert device ###
$ modprobe uhci_hcd
### or insert device here ###

Either of the above gives the same error messages previous reported. (But, I 
didn't unload any of the other usb modules, just the hcd modules, if that makes 
a difference--it seems that it shouldn't.)

Unfortunately, I don't have a scope at home, and don't have problems with any 
computers at work. ;) But since I get the same behavior from connectors 
directly soldered to the motherboard, it seems doubtful that this is the 
problem.

Also, I'm pretty sure it's not the devices problem, as I've tried ~5 devices 
with the same results, and all of them work on different machines just fine. 
Maybe a quirky EHCI chipset on this motherboard that needs some sort of 
workaround? Anyway, for reference, here is a different USB device plugged in:

Comment 36 David Brownell 2006-05-04 14:52:11 UTC
Do you have _any_ high speed devices that work on your motherboard?  If not, it 
would seem to be a problem with that board.  It's very possible to have 
manufacturing or design bugs that corrupt signal quality.  Plus, it's VIA 
hardware; I hate to blame things on that company, but they seem to trigger more 
problems than any other vendor.  (Disproportionate with respect to their market 
share.) 
Comment 37 Alan Stern 2006-05-04 17:50:48 UTC
It also would be interesting to know if Windows is able to drive the hardware
better than Linux.
Comment 38 Vincent Fortier 2006-05-05 02:39:39 UTC
sadly it seems like it does since I don't have that type of bug using windows on
my via k8t800 chipset...  although I still get some other anoying things but it
has nothing to do with usb :)
Comment 39 Alan Stern 2006-05-05 07:14:29 UTC
I wasn't asking about the chipset; I was asking about that particular
motherboard.  It's entirely possible for one motherboard to have a hardware
incompatibility even though another (using the same chipset) doesn't.  A
relatively small variation in some timing tolerance would be enough to do it.

On the same computer where the EHCI controller fails to work under Linux, does
it succeed under Windows?  If it does, then the Windows driver knows about some
trick that the Linux driver doesn't.  Probably some vendor-specific property of
the controller.
Comment 40 David Brownell 2006-05-07 18:06:52 UTC
So did that patch change anything?  I'd expect at least different 
diagnostics... 
Comment 41 Alan Stern 2006-05-08 07:20:29 UTC
Dave, you attached that patch to bug #6374, not this one.  According to the
original poster, it did not help.

It's getting pretty confusing...  Bugs related to this one include 6374 and also
6201 and 6214.
Comment 42 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-05-14 07:37:16 UTC
Sorry, I don't have Windows on this machine, so I can't say if it works under 
Windows or not.

As far as the patch goes, I ran 2.6.17-rc3, which I assumed from the context 
had that patch already in it, but it sounds like that was incorrect. If so, let 
me know and I'll try again with that patch applied manually to the 2.6.17-rc3 
tree.
Comment 43 David Brownell 2006-05-18 19:28:19 UTC
Created attachment 8144 [details]
refreshed ehci unlink patch

noticed a glitch in the preceding version of the patch; this should
be a bit better.
Comment 44 David Brownell 2006-05-18 19:30:04 UTC
Wesley, no the patch was NOT in 2.6.17-rc3 (or rc4), that's why it was a patch 
_against_ that kernel version. 
 
To repeat:  try the current kernel WITH THE ATTACHED PATCH APPLIED. 
 
Comment 45 Vincent Fortier 2006-05-19 02:26:14 UTC
I did ... with no changes.  In my case which might be a slightly different, my
USB problems made me also rmmod ehci_hcd and uhci_hcd then modprobe again
uhci_hcd to fix it.  Although it was being caught by the fact that K8T800
motherboard using an AMD X2 processor is badly taken care of causing irqbalance
to cause a lot of different problems including often a jerky mouse.

In my case diabling the irqbalance service fixed my problem until my board gets
fully supported into the kernel.

Comment 46 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-05-19 07:16:09 UTC
I will try the new patch shortly.
Comment 47 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-05-19 08:39:06 UTC
Okay, tried with 2.6.17-rc3 + "refreshed ehci unlink patch", with no noticeable 
behavioral effect. Here are some dmesg outputs:

Nothing else special happens if I load/reload *_hcd module in different orders.
 Mostly, just seems the same as before.
Comment 48 Gonzalo Aguilar 2006-06-21 10:41:52 UTC
I also confirm this.

This bug has been sitting around for a lot versions before...
I don't know if this is a BIOS problem or just driver bug.

Linux azul1 2.6.16-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 24 20:59:35 CEST 2006 x86_64

Comment 49 Alan Stern 2006-06-21 12:15:23 UTC
Wesley, do you have _any_ high-speed devices that work with that motherboard?

If not, then blame the EHCI hardware.
Comment 50 Gonzalo Aguilar 2006-07-22 08:30:01 UTC
As you told in comment #29 my post is more related to bug #6201 this seems to be the right place to post because hardware is exactly that now (nforce 4).  I have to say that the bug also happened with nforce2 and others.  Will post there, then.  Thank you so much and sorry.
Comment 51 Chris Wedgwood 2006-09-05 06:16:54 UTC
nf4 chipsets have a bug which would cause this for > 2GB of ram (less in some cases)

if some people are seeing that it might be worth splitting that out as a
separate bug
Comment 52 Sérgio M Basto 2006-09-17 10:28:29 UTC
both dmesg attachments (7410 and 7701) have 
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for blabla, from bla to bla
 
Please try this patch http://lkml.org/lkml/diff/2006/9/7/235/1 (new VIA IRQ
quirk behaviour change) and report the results
Comment 53 Wesley J. Landaker 2006-11-08 17:33:39 UTC
I am the original submitter for this issue. Unfortunately, I won't be able to 
do more debug on this issue because the system in question just bit the dust a 
couple weeks ago (simultaneously, a heatsink spontaneously popped off one of 
the chips on the motherboard, instantly frying it, and the NVIDIA card's fan 
*launched* itself out of it's axle, off the card and bounced around the case. 
I wish I was kidding, but I'm not.)

Anyway, I regretfully don't have any way to keep testing this, unless my new 
AMD64 system (not live yet) has this same issue with USB.
Comment 54 John Drakos 2006-12-20 15:10:40 UTC
I have the same problem on an ASUS A8V Deluxe(VIA  AGP). An external usb HD will
not work without removing the ehci_hcd module.

Used bootable disc SimplyMEPIS_3.4.3rc3.iso kernel 2.6.15-1586tsc and the
external drive worked fine.

grepping the /boot/config...  file showed CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y

The uhci_hcd and others were modules.
Comment 55 Chris Wedgwood 2006-12-20 15:30:16 UTC

How much memory do you have in this system?

I just notice I fixed my problem <a href="#c23">comment #23</a> buying a new USB
Cable that supports high speed (USB2.0 - 480 Mb/s).  My original cable was
probably USB1.1 - 12 Mb/s.

Maybe it can help someone.

I have the same problem.

Comment 59 rick4711 2007-07-17 00:33:22 UTC
It doesn't matter if I try the gentoo or vanilla-sources of kernel 2.6.22-r1.
I know the mp3 player worked before on a diffrent system (Pentium III, PIIX4E
chipset)

Try to fix EHCI speed detection

rick4711: Take a look at this email message:

    http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=118461858028785&w=2

You can also try the attached patch for 2.6.22.
Comment 61 rick4711 2007-07-19 21:09:53 UTC
I have applied the patch for "ehci-hub.c" and commented out the lines
as explained in "http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=118461858028785&w=2"

This made no difference for me. I have also tried to compile EHCI_HCD inside
the kernel and OHCI_HCD as a module, which made no difference either.

I have disabled IRQ_BALANCING with the same effect.

Have you any other hints for me?
Comment 62 Alan Stern 2007-07-20 07:28:32 UTC
Come to think of it, the EHCI hardware in that email thread is different from yours anyway.  His is by Philips and yours is by nVidia.

Are you certain there really is a problem?  The log you posted didn't include any line saying "not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub".  Perhaps your device really isn't high speed.  Or perhaps it is no longer operating properly.  What does lsusb -v show for the device (be sure to run it as root)?
Comment 63 rick4711 2007-07-20 12:47:35 UTC
I thought it is the same problem, as the temporary solution to remove the EHCI_HCD module is the same.

My problem is not a speed problem, but that the device is not given a device node (when EHCI_HCD is loaded together with OHCI_HCD). Thank you for your
patience.

Comment 64 Alan Stern 2007-07-20 13:12:31 UTC
That's what you get for trying to hijack someone else's bug report.  No, it is not the same problem, even if the workaround is the same.

Your debugging dmesg log in comment #59 doesn't include timestamps so I can't tell what's going on.  Can you do it again with CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME enabled?  And this time _attach_ it to the bug report instead of pasting it inline.

Dmesg output with CONFIG_PRINTK enabled

At this moment both modules (EHCI_HCD and OHCI_HCD) are loaded,
with the result that the mp3 player does not get a device node.
Comment 66 Alan Stern 2007-07-24 08:29:59 UTC
The log doesn't show any errors, unforunately.  It looks exactly as if you plugged in the mp3 player and then unplugged it about 5 seconds later, before the device node was created.  Did you in fact leave it plugged in longer than that?

The next step is to use usbmon and collect a log for bus 2.  You'll find instructions in the kernel source file Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt.  (And of course this should be done with both ehci-hcd and ohci-hcd loaded.)
Comment 67 rick4711 2007-07-24 11:29:31 UTC
Something strange is happening here. I was able to get the mp3 player
detected a few times out of more a dozen trials. The only thing I 
have done is plugging the device in. Both hcd modules were loaded.
I haven't even rebooted my system during that time.

I have no idea why. I have attached several usbmon logfiles. 

At first the device wasn't detected (usbmon.log), than it was 
suddenly detected (usbmon_ok.log) and now I can't get it to work 
(usbmon2.log) again.

According to "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" the device is connected
to bus 1 now, also I haven't changed the USB port at this time.

Yes I did.
Comment 72 Alan Stern 2007-07-24 12:15:12 UTC
Bus 1 is what it should be.  Don't worry about the bus numbering; it depends on the order in which you load ohci-hcd and ehci-hcd.  You can always find out which is which by looking in /proc/bus/usb/devices.

This behavior is indeed strange.  I'd be inclined to call it a hardware problem except for the fact that the problem occurs just a few milliseconds before the device node creation is about to start.  That has been the case in each of the error logs.

So okay, try this: Add a line to /etc/modprobe.conf saying:

   options usb-storage delay_use=1

Then rmmod usb-storage, plug in the device, see what happens, and attach a usbmon log if it fails again.  If that doesn't work, try changing the 1 above to 0 and repeat.
Comment 73 rick4711 2007-07-24 14:46:01 UTC
I have good news! Adding "options usb-storage delay_use=1" to modprobe.conf fixes the problem once for all. 

Therefore I had to compile "usb-storage" as a kernel module. Can I apply this option also, when usb-storage is compiled inside the kernel?
I have not found a kernel parameter which fits to your recommendation.

Is this now a kernel or a hardware issue?

Thank you very much for your help and patience!

on the kernel command use "add usb_storage.delay_use=1"
Comment 75 Alan Stern 2007-07-25 08:07:08 UTC
Except that you shouldn't put the word "add" on the kernel command line.  Just "usb_storage.delay_use=1".

You can even put 0 there instead of 1; it ought to work okay.  The reason for the delay is that a few devices don't work properly without it, but most do.  In your case it seems that the dock automatically disconnects a device if there has been no activity for 5 seconds, so usb-storage's default 5-second delay got you into trouble.

As far as I can tell, this is a hardware issue, not software.

Dave, this bug report has gotten out of hand.  You'd be justified at this point in either resolving or rejecting it.

Re: closing this bug

I am the original submitter of this bug. As I posted a while back, I no longer have the computer that I originally had this issue with. So I am fine with this bug being closed out (especially since being on the CC as submitter no longer is useful for me).

I'd think other's problems that are similar but slightly different should probably be posted in their own bugs reports, but I guess it's up to you guys. =)
Comment 77 Natalie Protasevich 2008-03-15 00:09:04 UTC
Since the bug became polluted and unclear, closing the bug.
Please you believe  your problem still exists please open  new reports and they will be looked at individually.
