Fedora kernel 5.7.4 dmesg log

Hello, I have a Kingston 32GB USB flash drive failing to get mounted. Dmesg show that the flash drive gets repeatedly disconnected after "Set SEL for device-initiated U2 failed."

I'm able to reproduce the problem on the following laptops:
* Dell XPS 7390 (connected through official Dell USB-C to USB-A adapter)
* Sony Vaio SVP132A1CM (no adapter, directly connected)

The USB drives works on the following devices:
* Multiple office desktop computer, all running Windows
* Nvidia Shield TV 2015 edition (4.9.140 kernel)

Please let me know if I can do something to help out or if some additional information is needed.

Note:
I first reported the bug as #1801627 on Fedora's Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1801627

Have you tried disabling Link Power Management? Before you plug in the flash drive, do:

sudo echo 0951:1666:k >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/quirks

Incredible, that worked!
The flash drive gets mounted and I'm able to access the files on it.

Not sure what the next step, but thanks!

Ideally we'd like to know whether this problem affects only your flash drive or all drives of the same type, and whether it shows up only on your computer or on lots of different computers. Can you test for these things?

Sony Vaio kernel 5.7.10 dmesg log

Sorry for the delay.

The exact same thing happens on my Sony Vaio SVP132A1CM (dmesg logs attached). Disabling Link Power Management before plugging in the flash drive with "sudo echo 0951:1666:k >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/quirks" fixes the issue.

I have no other laptop at hand to test, but I hope you can get the informations needed to fix it.

Thank you!

Patch to add NO_LPM quirk

Here is a patch to add the NO_LPM quirk for the Kingston DataTraveler. Can you build a kernel to test it? If you can't, the people on the Fedora bug report may be able to help.

I'm really sorry, nothing moved at all.
I asked for some help on the Red Hat Bugzilla, because I'm not sure how to compile the kernel with the patch, and I'm not even sure I could boot it on my main computer which is using secure boot.

I really hope I can make sure that this gets included for Fedora 33, I should try to contact some of the maintainers directly to get some movement.

I have prepared a Fedora kernel test-build with the patch added, this is currently building here:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=54473681

Note it takes a couple of hour for the build to complete.

See here for some generic instructions on installing a kernel test-build directly from koji (the Fedora buildsystem):

compile the kernel with the patch, and I'm not even sure I could boot it on my main computer which is using secure boot.

You will need to disable secure-boot I'm afraid as test kernel-builds are not signed.

If you cannot do this from within your BIOS you can instead run:

mokutil --disable-validation

This will ask you to pick a password (I would advise using 123456789) and then on reboot will ask you to enter the nth char of the password a couple of times, to prove you have physical access to the machine *and* that it was you who requested the change.

This temporarily disables validation at the shim level, once you are done you can re-enable validation by running:

mokutil --enable-validation

Thank you for the build and the instructions!

I've tested out the kernel and everything works fine, the Kingston USB flash drive gets mounted, I can read and copy to it without any problem.

So it took some time, but the patch is working!

Great, so lets submit the patch upstream then. Alan do you want to submit the quirk upstream, or shall I submit it?

I'll take care of it. I was just waiting for confirmation that the patch worked okay.

Ok, I saw the patch, LGTM. So I believe this bug can be closed then ?
