Yes, this isn't a "regression" but has been there for a while. It can also only be triggered by a root user, so it's severity is much lower. > - Various reports similar to > http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6011, seemingly related to USB > PCI quirk handling.

I don't really think there is a rush to get this fixed, but I really like James's proposed patch. It's up to him if he feels it is ready for 2.6.16 or not. > - Helge Hafting reports a usb printer regression - I don't know if that's > still live? He never reported back, and one other person who reported this, figured out that it was bad ram in the system. Replacing that fixed the issue. I've also printed a lot of stuff here (tax time...) and had no problems. > - "Carlo E.

Fixed by the previously mentioned EHCI quirk/handoff patch that will be going to Linus. So, that's it for the USB stuff, thankfully. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
