Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2013 7:32 pm Post subject: USB 3.0 Flash Drive & Hub issues

Hello all,

I am working on getting a USB 3.0 flash drive (a 32gb Corsair Voyager GT) to mount via a USB 3.0 hub, connected to a P67 based motherboard with 3.0 ports onboard. Two issues:

First: Using the same hub (it has some 3.0 and 2.0 ports) I am able to mount the drive via USB 2.0 and operate as expected. When plugging into the 3.0 port(s) there is no reaction (tail -f /var/log/messages produces no reaction to the event).

I have xhci support built into my kernel:

Code:

dan ~ # cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip | grep XHCI
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_XHCI=y
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y
# CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD_DEBUGGING is not set

I read in some thread found on google that UAS support would be required, but it seems to be marked as BROKEN:

Code:

│ Symbol: USB_UAS [=n]
│ Type : tristate
│ Prompt: USB Attached SCSI
│ Defined at drivers/usb/storage/Kconfig:204
│ Depends on: USB_SUPPORT [=y] && USB [=y] && SCSI [=y] && BROKEN [=n]
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> USB support (USB_SUPPORT [=y])

So, does this mean that there is no support for mounting USB 3.0 Flash Drives at this time?

Second: The same hub mentioned above seems to have problems with auto-suspend in the kernel. When I have CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND [=y] set in the kernel (as per the request of the ebuild for udisk) The following barfs into /var/log/messages continuously, about every 5 seconds:

Code:

Jan 23 11:03:56 dan kernel: [ 1884.268083] hub 4-0:1.0: hub_suspend
Jan 23 11:03:56 dan kernel: [ 1884.268090] usb usb4: bus auto-suspend, wakeup 1
Jan 23 11:03:56 dan kernel: [ 1884.268099] usb usb4: suspend raced with wakeup event
Jan 23 11:03:56 dan kernel: [ 1884.268100] usb usb4: usb auto-resume
Jan 23 11:03:56 dan kernel: [ 1884.285044] hub 4-0:1.0: hub_resume

Disabling CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND predictably makes the problem go away, but is that going to be a big problem for udisk? Do I care?

Any thoughts, questions, comments, ideas, references, etc are certainly appreciated!

EDIT: I should have mentioned:

Code:

dan ~ # uname -a
Linux dan 3.6.11-gentoo #10 SMP Wed Jan 23 10:42:17 CST 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Can you post any USB boot time messages as well? Maybe there's a hint in there. Otherwise try newer/older kernels - perhaps it was something that got broken at one point for your system. There shouldn't be anything special to do but have xhci enabled in the kernel config as far as I know, but maybe it's not the worst idea to try playing with some related options.

That bit at the end there (~99 seconds) is the USB 3.0 Flash Drive, being detected in a USB 2.0 port on the same hub that won't detect it in one of its SuperSpeed ports.

I also tried a USB 2.0 Flash Drive in both of the same 2.0 and 3.0 capable ports. Aggravatingly - it works perfectly in both...

For reference, the hub in question is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073BC2ZU
