Description of problem: The following appears in /var/log/messages when connecting and disconnecting a wacom tablet: Jun 27 12:17:14 kernel: usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using address 5 Jun 27 12:17:14 kernel: usbhid: probe of 3-1:1.0 failed with error -5 Jun 27 12:17:15 kernel: input: Wacom Graphire4 4x5 on usb-0000:00:1d.2-1 Everything is working as expected, but the error message is a little disturbing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-75.EL How reproducible: 100% Additional info: related to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=161241
The problem is at: static struct hid_device *usb_hid_configure(struct usb_interface *intf) { struct usb_host_interface *interface = intf->cur_altsetting; struct usb_device *dev = interface_to_usbdev (intf); struct hid_descriptor *hdesc; struct hid_device *hid; unsigned quirks = 0, rsize = 0; char *buf, *rdesc; int n; /* Ignore all Wacom devices */ if (dev->descriptor.idVendor == USB_VENDOR_ID_WACOM) return NULL; static int hid_probe (struct usb_interface *intf, const struct usb_device_id *id) { struct hid_device *hid; char path[64]; int i; char *c; dbg("HID probe called for ifnum %d", intf->altsetting->desc.bInterfaceNumber); if (!(hid = usb_hid_configure(intf))) return -EIO; hid_probe() shouldn't return -EIO in this case, -ENODEV would be more appropriate and it'd prevent for the message to be printed. It's fixed on 479f6ea85e513551510ad52f37e69e1c596ad356 RHEL-4 patch will follow
