Are you still seeing this with the 3.10.y kernel updates?

Comment 3 Josh Boyer 2013-09-18 20:22:26 UTC
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 19 kernel bugs.

Fedora 19 has now been rebased to 3.11.1-200.fc19.  Please test this kernel update and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 5 Michele Baldessari 2013-11-02 10:04:30 UTC
Hi all,

can you reproduce this at will? The following patch (only present in the 3.12 series for now) could be relevant:
commit d0308d4b6b02597f39fc31a9bddf7bb3faad5622
Author: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek>
Date:   Thu Aug 22 14:49:38 2013 +0200

    usb: fix cleanup after failure in hub_configure()
    
    If the hub_configure() fails after setting the hdev->maxchild
    the hub->ports might be NULL or point to uninitialized kzallocated
    memory causing NULL pointer dereference in hub_quiesce() during cleanup.
    
    Now after such error the hdev->maxchild is set to 0 to avoid cleanup
    of uninitialized ports.

Is anyone able to try their kernel plus the above patch and confirm or dispel this theory?

regards,
Michele

Comment 6 David Gibson 2013-11-11 02:40:51 UTC
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce at will.  I have a mildly complex USB setup:

Laptop dock -> USB "KVM" switch
              (box with two USB "B" sockets and one "A" socket, with a physical switch to determine which host is connected to the downstream devices)
                -> USB hub / memory card reader
                    -> USB mouse
                    -> USB->PS/2 convertor
                        -> PS/2 keyboard

When I use the switch to move the keyboard and mouse from one machine to another, I sometimes have trouble with the devices not being recognized.  For the laptop side, I usually find undocking / redocking the laptop is the most effective way of fixing the situation.

On one occasion, rather than just a transient, unexplained fault however, I received the oops logged for this bug.

Comment 7 Michele Baldessari 2013-11-26 21:04:45 UTC
If anyone that can reproduce this issue here is willing to try 3.12.1-2:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/x86_64/

that'd be great.

thanks,
Michele
