Description of problem: High speed (USB 2.0) HID devices aren't working. Specifically this was seen with a new USB 2.0 Avocent KVM dongle. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-42.EL How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect Avocent USB 2.0 KVM dongle. 2. Boot system. 3. Note that keyboard & mouse don't work. Actual results: Keyboard & mouse don't work (unless you unload the ehci-hcd driver). Expected results: Keyboard and mouse should work. Additional info: Unloading the ehci-hcd driver will allow you to use the keyboard. The problem is that the usbhid driver (in hid-core.c) is modifying the interrupt URB interval for high speed devices, and then calling usb_fill_int_urb, which applies the same modification to the already-modified interval value, resulting in a ridiculous value, which the ehci driver won't even schedule. The attached patch fixes the issue.
