Description Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-18 16:47:27 UTC
Distribution: Gentoo 1.4 (cvs)
Hardware Environment: Athlon XP, MSI Kt 3 Ultra 2 (VIA VT8366/A/7)
Software Environment: Linux 2.4.21, usb-storage, usb-uhci, ?

I saw a page here saying "2.5 only", but since I cannot test it using a 2.5 kernel (it unfortunately 
messes with my xfs partitions and damages them), please accept this one :)

The issue is: When I terminate the usb hotplug 20030501 I get a 'kernel BUG at base.c:914'...

I'll try to attach a ksymoops thingie ...

Comment 3 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-18 16:54:23 UTC
This bug is reproduceable every time, so I can test stuff easily etc ;)

The only patch I put over the vanilla kernel is the xfs patch, but that doesnt have anything to do with 
usb, does it ?

Since this is a source based distro, I have everything in source, and I can use a debugger too ;)

Comment 4 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2003-07-18 17:06:16 UTC
Believe the "2.5" only comment :)

This looks like a devfs bug, not a hotplug one too.
Comment 5 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-19 02:11:30 UTC
ok, *compiling 2.6.0-test1*

lets see :) 

Comment 6 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-19 03:04:29 UTC
Stock 2.6.0-test1.

same error.

The usb hid device is a Seiko Inklink.
The usb storage device is a noname memory stick.

ksymoops complain about not being able to find /proc/ksyms and doesnt do much.

Comment 11 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-19 03:12:51 UTC
btw, I suspect this to happen in response to the rmmod calls in maybe_stop_usb in /etc/hotplug/usb.rc 
...

what next ?

Comment 16 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-19 03:21:49 UTC
as you can see, the "hid" module has been removed.
Comment 17 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-19 03:36:20 UTC
btw: you may be right that the culprit component is not hotplug, feel free to change it to devfs or 
something, if it is sure that that is the cause...
Comment 18 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2003-07-19 07:50:49 UTC
What does 'tree /dev/usb/' look like before you shutdown the usb stuff?
Comment 19 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-19 08:26:01 UTC
tree /dev/usb

/dev/usb
`-- hid
    `-- hiddev0

Comment 20 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-24 12:08:10 UTC
Okay, I reduced this to the following:

This happens in single mode (without any user-space daemons running etc), with 2.6.0-test1, after 
booting, with only 1 usb device plugged, and that is the "Seiko Inklink Handwriting System". 

rmmod hid -> *boom*
modprobe hid -> ok
rmmod hid -> *boom*   
modprobe hid -> ok
rmmod hid -> *boom*
....
--> note that both the kernel module and the devfs entry for the hid *are* removed just like they should.



What can I do to track this bug down ?
(f.e.  how can I fix ksymoops to actually do something with 2.5/2.6 ? :))
Comment 21 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2003-07-24 12:24:01 UTC
put the oops here that happens when you remove the hid driver.

Comment 23 Danny Milosavljevic 2003-07-24 14:28:32 UTC
despite the error message, the /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0 is there after the modprobe, until the rmmod, and 
then it is gone. 

So I dunno why that error message appears, anyways :)
Comment 24 Adrian Bunk 2005-07-02 04:48:03 UTC
devfs is no longer available as of 2.6.13-rc1.
