@Warren, Has this been resolved yet in upstream? *(I'm asking for selfish reasons as I almost just bought one of these). Also if this still exists on the GenesysLogic 3520 (maybe 3521) hub that would likely require a separate change and as such should be a separate bug. -- You received this

Not seeing a lot of value so far to submitting this upstream. Not even an acknowledgment, let alone triage or action. I subscribed to the Linux-usb thread and there seems to be no tracking system, no actual process what-so-ever. It's just talented people running around in 50 different directions

Kernel 4.0-rc2 tested. Problem remains. In rc2 there was a minimal fglrx driver in the kernel so I was able to get a more usual desktop and use the graphical system monitor app. The manifestation of the problem is slightly different now. Total CPU usage still goes to 24 - 25% when a USB 3.0 hub

This bug occurs with more than just one chipset. For chuckles I picked up a 7-port USB 3.0 hub that uses GenesysLogic 3520 (maybe 3521) chipsets. *SAME PROBLEM*. I can confirm that this problem occurs with more than just the VIA VL812-B2 chipset. How many different chipsets, who knows. The VIA

In scouring the internet I have found references to similar matter with bsd. Seems maybe the xhci driver folks maybe haven't quite got around to supporting non-root USB 3.0 hubs. http://netbsd.2816.n7.nabble.com/Help-USB-3-0-xHCI-driver-does-not-support-non-root-hub-td308329.html -- You

The bug still exists in kernel 4.0rc1. Tag added as requested. Intallation was very problematic, but I was able to boot into terminal mode. (Lack of flgrx prevented usual environment...). htop confirms bug as before, although I was not able to view the offending process names. CPU at 0.1 to 0.5
