Description of problem: Hitting the sync button on a Kyocera USB cradle latches up (crashes) the kernel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. With Palm/phone in USB cradle hit sync button 2. Wait for timeout or hit cancel 3. Kernel latches up Actual results: Kernel latches up Expected results: Additional info:
so why didn't you assign it to the kernel???
Unfortunately, I do not have a Pilot of any kind... Rob, can you switch to text mode (Ctrl-Alt-F1) before timeout and get me a picture with a webcam? There should be an oops (well, hopefuly. if not, we need to create one with sysrq or nmi_watchdog).
See also bug 178873. Rob, I do need that oops very much. If nothing else, I'll see if it's the same problem as the 178873.
I'll try and reproduce tomorrow (5/18)

Created attachment 130985 [details] traceback if too hard to read, I can re-run
I need the precise kernel version, Rob. Then I use the binaries to match offsets and find the fault instruction. cat /proc/version is the best.
Oh wait, silly me. The third traceback had the BUG statement with the line number, so I don't need to match offsets. Still, the version would be helpful. Also... Can you capture /proc/bus/usb/devices when the organizer is connected without crashing the box? That would be great.
Created attachment 131025 [details] Test fix 1 This is something to try. The patch attempts to prevent the scheduled work to be run from a freed port memory.
kernel was 2122, though it's been broken in FC5 throughout. You have a built kernel? I can build one, but it'll take a bit of time.
Rob, please try one at http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/ftp/185409/ Also, if it crashes, I'd like the camera a little bit away from the screen.
No longer crashes with the fix.
OK, I think we fixed that at least upstream. 2.6.18-rc2 has the changes. Rob, I'll close it for now with "upstream", but please keep in mind that FC5 will only get the update after a rebase. Today's tip is 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5, which does not have the fix.
