Hi,
I also see crashes with my new stuff and the umass driver when the USB device
is un-plugged too early. The backtraces I've got so far does not indicate a
USB problem, though ....

Hans Petter,
the device unplug problem is not just with usb, but these devices are
the most frequent unplugged devices so far.
Early this week, I discovered a new problem. I've fetched fresh RELENG_7
sources, patched your usb stack in and recompiled kernel (using usb, not
usb2).
I've seen situations with a process holding open file descriptors for a
ugen device being killed but a thread was still hanging in "usbdrain"
state (sleeping on a mutex for draining). The process is still holding
open file descriptors (I see output from ``fstat | grep ugen'' listing
the already killed process), even while the process itself is already
killed and not in the process list as a whole.
Only a thread of that former process can be seen by ``ps -alxcH'', but
it can't be killed.
what is the thread waiting on?
I'm pretty sure I'm able to patch kern_exit.c to have that process being
freed completely but I'm also pretty sure, this will just kill a symptom
but not the source. While in that situation, the usb port does not react
to plug/unplug events anymore.
I haven't been able to debug that situation as I do have too much stress
at other places as well. Probably I'll find the time tomorrow for debugging.
BTW, can you give a quick explanation about usb2? What's different,
better? What needs to be done at the driver side to port something over
to usb2?
Thanks,
Volker
