RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard Hughes 2023-07-31 10:12:03 UTC
Created attachment 1980851 [details]
patch for c9s

Description of problem:

We call g_usb_context_idle_hotplug_cb from potentially multiple threads, but the callback should be executed in the main thread. This fixes a rare crash in fwupd when hotplugging lots of devices.

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

libgusb-0.3.8-1

How reproducible:

Rarely -- which makes it really hard to QA. You can unplug a thousands times and not hit it once, but running on millions of machines we've seen it reported 5 times on RHEL.

Additional info:

This has been fixed in Fedora since October, and seems to have fixed the fwupd crash seen there.
