Bug Description
With my USB headset plugged in to my computer. When the headset is plugged in, I get tens of messages like the following in dmesg and syslog:
May 14 11:25:24 aether kernel: [ 315.447988] retire_
May 14 11:25:29 aether kernel: [ 320.458042] retire_
The following patch was written to supress these rate-limited messages in syslog https:/

I am getting flooded with this as well. I had wondered why my PC was recently misbehaving in odd ways, including sometimes not responding to my USB mouse/keyboard at boot time. On looking at my log today it had masses of
retire_
and also
usb 3-2.2: Not enough bandwidth for altsetting 0
usb 3-2.2: Not enough bandwidth for alltsetting 1
7:1:1: usb_set_interface failed (-19)
I not sure whether the two are related or not. The latter appeared whilst I was charging my mobile via my USB hub at boot time. I'm sure I've done this before with no difficulty.

I get the same problem with a Meridian explorer USB DAC on an Xubuntu 14.04 system.
I know little about the bug fixing process but I really hope this fix gets into the trusty stable kernel soon. I was hoping it might be in "3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:00:20 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" installed today, but no such luck.

Nope. Scatch my last comment, kernel from comment #4 fixes it for me, but 3.13.0-29-generic doesn't.

Kernel from #4 fixes this for me but only the urb callback issue. When I connect my usb headset, I will randomly get either the loudspeaker or microphone but not both.
pactl list shows either profile
or
but not both, which would be correct (or as with kernel 3.5.7.1):
| tatu (tatu) wrote : | #19 |
Correcting a bit my previous comment #18... seems not to be kernel related, on both 3.13.0-26 and 3.5.7.1 behaviour is random, sometimes you get loudspeaker, sometimes microphone and maybe once out of dozen tries you get both loudspeaker and microphone.
tatu, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:

I've had issues ith your patch; see the attachment for details. I'm using a SoundBlaster Extigy, but until I found this bug I thought the problem was related to bluetooth devices. I know that there's a problem when my keyboard autorepeats.
Let me know what other information might help.

I'm no expert. If someone can give me exact instructions on how to update just the appropriate package on 14.04, and nothing else, I'll test it.
The documentation is a bit too generic for me to be 100% sure I know what I'm doing - I am not even sure of the exact package name and whether there are related packages that need to be installed as well. I am fully aware this seems very dim of me, but this machine is my main desktop and I really can't afford to mess it up.

The patch is working, after re-plugging it to previous USB messages stopped appearing.
I think I know why it is consuming CPU. Pulseaudio is constantly "listening" from the plugged-in line input; it consumes even more CPU cycles.

Harry Coin / K1773R, as this report is closed, your issue is not being attended to here.
However, it will help immensely if you filed a new report via a terminal:

Please feel free to subscribe me to it.
Commit is in mainline:
b7a7723 ALSA: usb-audio: Prevent printk ratelimiting from spamming kernel log while DEBUG not defined
However, it was not cc'd to stable.
I'll build a test kernel with a cherry-pick of this commit.
