Hi,
The 2.6.20.x kernels all crash on my SMP-HT machine, and the oops report always shows that udev was trying to access an endpoint belonging to the snd-usb-audio driver. The frustrating part is that this particular endpoint shouldn't even exist! (It doesn't exist whenever I check the /sys/class/usb_endpoint directory.) Is there any way that userspace ("winecfg" in my case) can cause the snd-usb-audio driver to switch from (If# = 2, Alt = 0) to (If# = 2, Alt > 0) please? Because that is currently the only way that I can see this endpoint ever being created.
Thanks, Chris

I don't know if this output is any more useful than any of the others. And I can't see where the "single bit error" comes from when the output is full of "use after free" poison. However, this much at least is different:

Again, it's claiming that the last sysfs file accessed was the non-existent /class/usb_endpoint/usbdev1.3_ep84/dev, which I simply cannot explain because this endpoint belongs to If# = 2, Alt > 0:
I: If#= 2 Alt= 0 #EPs= 0 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio I: If#= 2 Alt= 1 #EPs= 1 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio E: Ad=84(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 90 Ivl=1ms I: If#= 2 Alt= 2 #EPs= 1 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio E: Ad=84(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 46 Ivl=1ms I: If#= 2 Alt= 3 #EPs= 1 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio E: Ad=84(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 25 Ivl=1ms I: If#= 2 Alt= 4 #EPs= 1 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audio E: Ad=84(I) Atr=01(Isoc) MxPS= 16 Ivl=1ms
Could the ALSA USB audio driver be changing the "Alt" on the fly somehow, causing usbcore to need to create the extra endpoint in /sys?
