Bug Description

As seen on: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/3f0d2482c07d31441d77a864477d8789a78b5e23

the lastest linux kernel update 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 (maybe the previous one too) causes ModemManager to crash.

sometimes, when using my usb modem (Huawei E367), it disconnects, and it becomes no longer detected by networkManager
even lsusb command doesn't works (terminal waiting for command output) and shut-downing laptop doesn't complete

this happens rarely since last days (~6 days), i'm not sure if the 2 previous kernel update had the same problems.

note: some updates i did since last week:
  usb-modeswitch to 2.1.1+repack0-1ubuntu1
  usb-modemswitch-data to 20140327-1
  network-manager to 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7
  modemmanager to 1.0.0-2ubuntu1

that's a part of dmesg:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.15 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.

ok, i'm currently running mainline kernel on recovery mode, i will need at least two days to check if this bug not fixed because it happens on Trusty kernel rarely (one or two times the whole day)

0001-USB-usb_wwan-fix-a-NULL-pointer-dereference.patch Edit (4.6 KiB, text/plain)

Moez, looks like you're hitting a bug that hasn't been fixed upstream yet. I've took a look at the usb_wwan driver and it seems that function usb_wwan_write() is missing a NULL check to 'this_urb' variable.

I've added this check (see patch attached) and compiled a test kernel . Could you please give this kernel a try and report back after some good amount of testing? I would like you to run this test for a while and post the kernel logs -- if this patch actually solves the problem, you should see something like 'usb_wwan_write: Invalid URB' in the logs.

Here's the link to the test kernel:

@henrix: ok, i'm going to try it
@penalvch: Toshiba Bios executable requires a running windows 8 system on the laptop (neither wine nor freedos nor virtual machine worked), so, i may not be able to update the bios anytime soon

Thanks a lot for testing. To be honest, I wasn't expecting the patch to be this verbose... so, I've modified the patch and uploaded v2 of the test kernel:

http://people.canonical.com/~henrix/lp1308537/v2/

The modified patch is also in this directory.

I have deleted the bios-outdated-6.80 flag as this bug affects peoples with other BIOSs and it stills happens even after updating the BIOS as long as the patch posted by @henrix was not applied to the running kernel

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
6.80
10/01/2013

I have updated the bios. but I'm still getting the same ACPI errors on dmesg output.

I noticed this error on dmesg output on both ubuntu and archlinux many times:
usb 1-3: device not accepting address 4, error -71
this error is a protocol error (-71: -EPROTO[0]) and it's mostly caused by hardware/firmware issues or some unknown errors[1]
On my archlinux, I'm using linux-lts 3.10.39 & connman/ofono, I didn't get this kernel bug, but, the connection is unstable and the usb modem disconnect many times

I have tested other usb devices and I got the same -EPROTO error message. So, the issue is on the host side. but I can not confirm if it's caused by the hardware or the firmware. Maybe if i got time in coming days, I will try to look into the ACPI DSDT code

Moez Bouhel, just to clarify, the patch noted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1308537/comments/13 does prevent the problem?

Same problem on Dell Inspiron 6400, Ubuntu 14.04 i386 using HUAWEI USB GPRS/EDGE/3G modem. Problems started after upgrade from 12.04.

When we can expect path to be release? It's quite a few kernel upgrades passed since bug report....

@Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch):
Are you assuming this is different problem? Sadly, I do not have access to that computer frequently, but I could try it some time later. Bug again, why new bug report? If I understand correctly, it's not currently fixed if official (not PPA) linux package, or is it? I do not see "fix released".

Dell Studio 1555
BIOS - latest version
Linux Mint 17 KDE 64bit
kernel release - 3.13.0-24-generic
kernel version - #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014

Same Huawei dongle, same symptoms with network manager after disconnecting and lsusb hanging in terminal. Only hard restart returns all to working state.
In my case it also happens sometimes when laptop wakes up from suspend.
