[Bug 37775] drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed

[Ryan T. Sammartino]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.12 linux-image-2.6.12-10-686 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
(See also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6134).

Particulars:
$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.12-10-686 #1 Sat Mar 11 16:22:51 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
Hardware profile ID: c2e57c9fcdbe3a4de54681ee816b6659

Running a fresh install of Breezy.  Plugging in a Logitech Dual Action
joypad produces the following output in dmesg:

[4294999.502000] usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[4295009.641000] drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed
[4295009.641000] drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: timeout initializing reports
[4295009.641000]
[4295009.647000] input: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Logitech Logitech Dual Action]
on usb-0000:00:1d.2-1

Eventually the system will freeze.

If the joypad is plugged in during boot, a very long pause will happen
during the splash screen at "Loading modules".  Eventually I am dumped
back to the console, where the usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed message
appears, and the system continues booting (except a guaranteed freeze
will happen within 5-10 minutes).

This behaviour is not observed on another system that I have (Mandriva
SE 2006, 2.6.12-17mdksmp).

Plugging in other USB joypads that I have access to (e.g. Xbox 360
controller, Gravis GamePad Pro) does not produce this "failed" message.
