Here another one, btw I did pass usbfs_snoop on to the kernel during boot, but have no entries in my logfile. Hmmm, usbcore is not a module so usbcore.usbfs_snoop=1 should have done the job isn't it??? Currently my apcupsd is hanging in state 'D' again ;-) whats next? FYI, I have removed all previous patches given for testing.

Putting that string on the command should have done the trick. So these control URBs don't seem to be coming through usbfs.

The next step should be to find out where they do come from.  It's not so
easy to do that, but this patch is a start.  It goes a little overboard,
because it will send a complete stack dump to the system log every time an
IN control URB is sent to a device with address 2.  There's always a bunch
of URBs like that when the device is first plugged in.  If sometime later
you really do start getting these URBs every 4 or 5 milliseconds, this
patch will completely spam your system log.  You'll probably have to
unplug the USB cable to get your computer back under control.

Don't say you weren't warned!

Patched the urb.c, but i'm getting this dump's more or less once every minute already and not only when the device went active. The apcupsd seems to work fine though, hmm maybe its normal??? We have holiday on Monday so most likely by Tue assuming the problem shows up I can email the results. It looks like I only can hold on to the equipment until next week here, so I won't be able to do much test anymore afterwards as the equipment goes into production.
