Description Russell Harrison 2006-08-21 00:58:11 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #177594 +++

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716
Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
The Kyocera "Passport 1xEV-DO PC Card" KPC650, which uses the Qualcomm MSM6500
and some NEC USB to PCCard chip, plugged into a Ricoh RL5c475 chipped CardBus to
PCI bridge card, ohci_hcd driver module appears to hang after downloading around
a megabyte of data at average EVDO speeds above 400kbps.  The upload data path
never seems to hang, but it also runs at a lower maximum speed.  Packets can go
out, but no packets can come in.

Removing and re-installing the ohci_hcd driver module restores normal operation.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install any variation of the usbserial driver module.
2. establish ppp connection.
3. wget some multi-megabyte file.


Actual Results:  download will hang after about 700-1000kB.

Additional info:

With usbserial debugging turned on, packets can be seen to still arrive at the
usbserial driver module, but nothing comes out of the ppp interface.  Only
uninstalling and re-installing the ohci_hcd driver module will restore operation.

This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
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_REPORTER 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.

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

Thank you.

This problem has already been confirmed to exist with the 2.6.15 kernel.  Same
problem, as above.

This sounds very related to the problem discused at:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=300962

and the resulting patch at:
http://www.junxion.com/opensource/linux_highspeed_usbserial.html

Am I correct that the problems are one and the same?  Also, I'm seeing the issue
in FC5.

Comment 1 Pete Zaitcev 2006-08-21 01:57:20 UTC
I have no idea just why usbserial uses the maximum packet size to size its
buffers. These two sizes have nothing in common, but perhaps some simpler
serial chips had difficulties handing transfers longer than one buffer.
If so, the buffer size ought to be set in a subdriver instead of usb-serial.

The reference webpage do not explain how the hang happens, so although it
may be relevant, it's not the last word in this issue.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2006-10-17 00:34:46 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.

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2006-11-24 23:03:30 UTC
This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that
have been in NEEDINFO state for several months.

Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this
is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports
where the reporter has disappeared.

If you can reproduce this bug after installing all the
current updates, please reopen this bug.

If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting
it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap.

Thank you.
