(Throwing at everybody in MAINTAINERS that might know something...)
OK. To start off - I *know* it's a trackball that is on its last legs.
However, (a) it's my favorite mouse design *ever* and (b) it's out of
production, so I'm trying to delay as long as possible replacing it.
Especially when the entire problem is that the USB cord has one broken/loose
conductor, which means that four or five times a day I have to wiggle the cord
a 1/16" to wake it back up, and I get this sort of spewage in my console logs
if running a -mmotm0702 or earlier kernel:

Pretty much what you'd *expect* to see if a device keeps dropping in and out...
Well... Usually. Today, on a -mmotm0716 kernel, the loose conductor struck
again, and no amount of wiggling would resurrect it as far as the system was
concerned. Note however that it *did* wake up just fine when I finally
rebooted the machine, even though I had not touched the mouse any further -
which says to me that the wires were making a connection again, but the kernel
wasn't picking up on it.
Meanwhile, in my kernel logs, I had:

The "can't reset device" is apparently new with mm-0716 - I've not seen it
before in at least the 6 weeks my logs go back. And it seems to be the
beginning of things going pear-shaped, even though it manages to reset the
device. A few seconds, the events thread whinges that not all is fine in USB
land:

I don't think it is new. You might try using an older kernel with your

No it doesn't. The device gets disconnected and reconnected.

This is a bug. For more discussion see this thread:
http://marc.info/?t=124807676700001&r=1&w=2
You should try the patch given there.

Try the patch and see if it fixes the hang.

Umm.. I've *been* using it with older kernels for *months*. Not a *single*
hit in my logs, which go back till June 10. Except for today, when I started
running -0716, and now I've gotten hit by the same messages, and then
the same hang 4 times today.
So either the codepath in -0716 is different from -0702 and -0604 and -0517 and
every other -mm before, or the trackball spontaneously developed a *different*
behavior overnight at the same time I upgraded the kernel.
See the logs below...

OK, will do that, see if it improves things...
The logs back to June 10 (and I was on vacation Jun 20-26):

I repeat: The code that logs those messages is not new.

You're talking about messages like this:

Those messages are produced by the following statement in
drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c:hid_reset():
err_hid("can't reset device, %s-%s/input%d, status %d",
hid_to_usb_dev(hid)->bus->bus_name,
hid_to_usb_dev(hid)->devpath,
usbhid->ifnum, rc);
I don't know how long that subroutine and in particular that line have
been present, but it has been quite a while. Certainly since 2.6.20.

Let me know what happens.

That code may have been there for a long time, but apparently something
*else* in the USB/HID pile of code changed, that we're now calling hid_reset()
where we didn't used to before, or hid_reset() never reached that err_hid()
call before, or something.

Confirming - the patch in that thread prevents the system lockup I was
seeing.
So it looks like hid_reset() getting more chatty sometime in the last 2 weeks
was a red herring, and one I can't actually complain about - it was quite
legitimately whinging about not being able to reset a device that was in fact
dead in the water at the time. Given that, and a working patch for ehci-hcd.c,
I'm having a hard time finding the enthusiasm to track down what exactly
changed in hid-core.c. :)
The change in hid-core.c behavior just had the bad luck to land in -mmotm at
the exact same time the bug in ehci-hcd.c landed. So we had two user-visible
behavior changes in the same area of code at the same time. Hilarity ensues. :)
Thanks for pointing me at the actual fix. ;)

A question for you: Do you now observe any warnings in the dmesg log if
you rmmod ehci-hcd after the trackball mouse is gone? Apparently the
patch you tested isn't perfect and some stuff gets leaked. I'm trying
to track down the problem.

Hmm.. Let me go cook up a test kernel - I have ehci-hcd built-in rather
than a module. Might take a day or two...
