A patch in http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu.git/commitdiff/80cf7cf74f29a219e02b50f27c12b1c792ebf99b exists and fixed the problem in QEMU 1.0. We'd need a similar patch for 0.15.1 version in F16.

Patch for qemu spec file to include the backported fix.
Comment 2 Ulisses Furquim 2012-01-12 22:47:45 UTC

Backported fix from qemu 1.0.

Both patches were tested and worked as expected on my F16 box.

Comment 9 João Paulo Rechi Vita 2012-02-29 22:31:01 UTC 
Solution doesn't work for me on Fedora 16 x86_64. Installing qemu-kvm-1.0-5.fc17 from Rawhide has fixed the problem.
Comment 10 gcarter 2012-03-02 02:00:14 UTC 
Fails on latest Fedora 16 yum updates as of March 1st.

QEMU emulator version 0.15.1 (qemu-kvm-0.15.1), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard                                

Seems worse in fact, as I can't even get to the desktop with a USB device passthru.

Comment 11 David Woodhouse 2012-04-15 21:55:43 UTC 
It's not just passthru. I have a FreeBSD 8 VM with a USB disk (bizarrely, since I think FreeBSD hated the SCSI and IDE emulation when I was trying to install). It crashes this way too. With 0.15.1-4.fc16.
Comment 12 David Woodhouse 2012-04-15 23:22:36 UTC 
qemu 1.0-12 doesn't help. It doesn't seem to boot from the USB disk at all any more.
Comment 13 Samuel Sieb 2012-04-16 15:24:22 UTC 
How are you using the USB disk?  If it's not passthrough, then please open a new bug so this one doesn't get confused.
Comment 14 Thomas Davis 2012-04-20 05:18:40 UTC 
I'm seeing this in Fedora 17.. go to start via virt-manager, and it complains about the device is in use by another domain (and the domain shown is total garbage..)
Comment 15 Ofer Schreiber 2012-05-28 14:08:11 UTC 
Although I'm not experiencing the abort, the usb passthrough doesn't work for me as well, with similar repeated msg:

usb: open device 2.11
husb: config #1 need -1
husb: 1 interfaces claimed for configuration 1
husb: open device 2.11
husb: config #1 need -1
husb: 1 interfaces claimed for configuration 1

rpm version: qemu-kvm-0.15.1-4.fc16.x86_64

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-17 00:45:32 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 18 Cole Robinson 2013-02-11 21:48:19 UTC 
This bug seems to be half tracking a few different issues. But since F16 is going unsupported now, closing as WONTFIX for F16.

If anyone is still seeing USB issues on F18, please reopen. USB should be substantially better in F18, since upstream has come a long way in the past 1.5 years.
