Description George Avrunin 2006-03-25 15:46:37 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to backup my Treo 90 with pilot-xfer (both pilot-xfer and jpiot worked
fine in FC4 this way).  I got a complaint that a buffer overflow was detected
and pilot-xfer was killed.  My Treo was stuck.  I eventually reset it (removing
the USB cable from the computer's USB port has the same effect) and the system
hung for a while.  I got the report of the kernel bug in /var/log/messages and
on the various consoles that were open.  I have attached what seem to be the
relevant portions of /var/log/message. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.15-1.2054_FC5

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug USB cable into Treo and computer
2. turn on Treo and push sync button
3. start pilot-xfer (or jpilot; gnome-pilotd is not running)
4. Treo will get stuck trying to sync.  Reset Treo, unplug cable, or (I think)
just wait for Treo to time-out
  
Actual results:
Backup of Treo fails.  pilot-xfer or jpilot is killed after buffer overflow is
detected.  Computer freezes temporarily and reports kernel bug in workqueue.c. 
Various USB things don't seem to work properly afterward (mounting a USB memory
key, for instance).  


Expected results:
backup of Treo, as worked in FC4.

Comment 2 JoSH Lehan 2006-05-03 07:40:06 UTC
I also get this crash, same exact symptoms.

I'm using an older Palm Vx, with the PalmConnect serial-to-USB adapter,
KL5KUSB105 (vendor ID 0x0830, device ID 0x0080).

/dev/ttyUSB0 created, and seems to have data coming from it.

/dev/ttyUSB1 also created, and does not work.  Kernel message about "Device lied
about number of ports".

Comment 3 David Huff 2006-07-13 21:42:29 UTC
Im gettind a something simular as well, also using an older device, form
messages file when I plug in the device:

Comment 4 Ben Romer 2006-07-24 13:21:48 UTC
I also am getting a similar error in two situations - when attempting to sync my
Clie NR70, and also when trying to use a MicroVault USB memory. This happens on
2.6.17-1.2145_FC5, as well as 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5. The error occurs on the second
attempt to connect a device and it requires me to reboot to get rid of the
uninterruptable gpilotd process in the Clie's case.

The error text in in the Clie's case is

Comment 5 Ben Romer 2006-07-24 14:22:12 UTC
This also happens to me on  2.6.17-1.2157_FC5, but only on the Clie, the USB
memory seems to work okay.

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 19:46:48 UTC
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.
