Description of problem:
With recent kernels 2.6.10-1.12_FC2 or 2.6.10-1.9_FC2, when I replug
my phone/modem I experience the following oops. I do have to
unplug/replug it because it is a cell phone after all. It _never_
happened with earlier kernels.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug usb cell phone/modem (SANY0 4900) 
2. unplug
3. plug back in

    

Actual Results:  I can't use it as a modem after replugging.

Expected Results:  I should be able to plug and unplug as many times
as I want. I used to be able to do it with 2.6.9-1.11_FC2

Additional info:

Comment 1 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2005-02-25 23:59:53 UTC
kernel-2.6.10-1.14_FC2 still suffers from this bug. There is a small correction:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug usb cell phone/modem (SANY0 4900),   which becomes ttyACM0
2. pppd call sprint,   which loads ppp stuff
3. unplug,   which Oopses the kernel 
4. plug the phone back in,   which becomes ttyACM1

Since pppd is an important step, I am adding twoerner


Comment 2 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2005-03-10 02:15:54 UTC
kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC2 still suffers from this bug. I can now add that to see
the oops you can power off the device, not only unplug it from the usb port. On
the positive note, I am now able to "killall pppd" and restart with "pppd call
sprint", which was impossible before and I had to replug the device. So some
thing gets fixed something gets broken. 

Comment 3 Aleksey Nogin 2005-04-17 23:32:44 UTC
This is still happening with kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 (100% reproducible on two
very different machines). Specifically, I get the exact same Oops if I unplug
(or turn off) a cdc_acm device ("ID 22b8:2822 Motorola PCS V.120e GSM Phone")
while pppd is still running. 

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4407 has a pair of patches attached
that are supposed to fix this (have not tried them myself yet). 

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4418 seems to be a dup of 4407.

Comment 4 Andrey Chulkov 2005-05-13 05:09:52 UTC
kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4smp

System's actions monitored by tail -f /var/log/messages

1. Plug Nokia 6230 + DKU2 (data cable) into 1ns USB port.
2. Phone detected by system as ttyACM0.
3. Use wvdial. 
4. Unplug cable from phone.
5. System detects unplugging.
6. Plug cable in phone again.
7. Phone detected by system as ttyACM1.
8. Unplug cable from phone.
9. System detects unplugging.
10. Plug cable into phone again.
11. No any positive or negative reaction from system in /var/log/messages. 
Phone 

unreachable.
12. Plug cable into 2nd usb port. 
13. The same as 11.
14. Unplug cable from phone.
15. [loop 10]

After this sequence of actions wvdial alerts "ttyACM0(1): Device busy or ... 
<...>


Comment 5 Aleksey Nogin 2005-05-13 05:50:11 UTC
After I've applied the patches from
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4407, the problem (the original one,
not a different problem mentioned in comment #4) went away. An FC3 kernel
recompiled with these patches (and software suspend) may be found at
http://rpm.nogin.org/kernel.html (kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 and above).

Comment 6 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2005-06-20 23:51:26 UTC
Reproduced in and advanced to Fedora Core 4.
OSDL's bug 4407 is indeed the same with a fix pending/merged.

Comment 7 Dave Jones 2005-07-15 21:48:35 UTC
[This comment has been added as a mass update for all FC4 kernel bugs.
 If you have migrated this bug from an FC3 bug today, ignore this comment.]

Please retest your problem with todays 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 update.

If your problem involved being unable to boot, or some hardware not being
detected correctly, please make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf is correct *BEFORE*
installing any kernel updates.
If in doubt, you can recreate this file using..

mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.bak
mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak

Thank you.


Comment 8 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2005-07-17 18:24:41 UTC
This oops lives on in 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.
There seems to be some activity upstream bedore 2.6.13

Comment 9 Aleksey Nogin 2005-08-01 10:59:19 UTC
According to the upstream entry, this is now fixed in 2.6.13-rc4

Comment 10 Alexei Podtelezhnikov 2005-09-26 22:05:18 UTC
Alright! It's finally fixed in 2.6.13-1.1524_FC4 in updates/testing/4. 
This was tested by hot-unplugging Sanyo 4920 from underneath pppd -- no oops 
happened and pppd died gracefully. 
 
This will be my last (positive!) input on this bug. I am DSL now. I will use 
my phone just for  phone calls now.
