Bug#1035939: linux-image-6.1.0-8-amd64: dmesg flood xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: WARN: bandwidth overrun event for slot 6 ep 4 on endpoint

[Claude Heiland-Allen <claude@mathr.co.uk>]

Package: linux-image-6.1.0-8-amd64
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I noticed a flood of messages (1000 per second!) in dmesg (mirrored in /var/log)
after it filled my drive (16GB of logs total, over a couple of weeks).

The message was:

xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: WARN: bandwidth overrun event for slot 6 ep 4 on endpoint

or

xhci_hcd 0000:03:00.0: WARN: bandwidth overrun event for slot 11 ep 4 on endpoint

(it reoccurred after rebooting, but does not seem predictable).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I unplugged my USB soundcard from my USB hub, and the message flood stopped.

When plugging in the USB soundcard, dmesg reports similar to:

usb 1-12.1.3: new full-speed USB device number 12 using xhci_hcd
usb 1-12.1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0582, idProduct=0074, bcdDevice= 1.07
usb 1-12.1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-12.1.3: Product: EDIROL UA-25
usb 1-12.1.3: Manufacturer: Roland

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expect potentially rapidly repeated kernel messages to be rate-limited to a sensible amount.

I tried:

cd linux-6.1.25/drivers/usb/host
sed -i "s/xhci_warn/xhci_warn_ratelimited/g" xhci-ring.c
sed -i "s/xhci_warn_ratelimited_ratelimited/xhci_warn_ratelimited/g" xhci-ring.c

and rebuilt the kernel.

I have not yet rebooted to test if it fixes my problem.


Thanks for your work on this package,


Claude
