Description Johann Wilhelm 2021-04-22 16:32:51 UTC
Something between 5.10.26 and 5.20.30 broke (at least) the USB CDC implementation by ST Microsystems on their STM32 devices.

On opending of the device following error occurs:
[ 1333.790160] cdc_acm 1-10:1.0: acm_port_activate - usb_submit_urb(ctrl irq) failed


5.10.26 works - 5.10.30 does not.

Tested on the 2 identical devices with 2 different firmware (read: different firmware from 2 different developers) on different ports (USB3&USB2) with and without hub.

Additionally, someone else reports similar problems here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/usb-device-dev-ttyacm0-throws-i-o-error-on-connect/61385

This is likely due to commit 6069e3e927c8 ("USB: cdc-acm: untangle a
circular dependency between callback and softint") which had a bug that
was just fixed by commit a8b3b519618f ("USB: CDC-ACM: fix
poison/unpoison imbalance").

You can try applying the latter yourself but it will otherwise show up
in stable soon.

I applied the patch to 5.10.30, and it works again!

Thanks,

Comment 3 alex.wellmann 2021-05-27 12:54:53 UTC
Can confirm the issue on 5.11.0-17 as well (Ubuntu)
Comment 4 Mateusz 2021-06-10 11:09:51 UTC
Found the same issue on ubuntu 18.04 : 4.15.0-144.
It started to work properly when tried running at 4.15.0-143.
