Kernel panic after connecting a phone over USB

[Dima Ryazanov]

I connected my Galaxy Nexus phone, tried to browse it using the "camera:/" protocol, and got a kernel panic. The crash seems to be in the USB code:

handle_cmd_completion
xhci_irq
? rcu_process_callbacks
? centrino_target
xhci_msi_irq
...

Did this issue occur in a previous version of Ubuntu, or is this a new issue?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.12 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Did not happen before; definitely a regression in 13.10.

I'll try the upstream kernels now.

[Dima Ryazanov (dima-gmail)]

Seems for work ok in 3.12-rc6. (It doesn't happen that frequently in 3.8, though, so I can't be completely sure.)
