I built a Yakkety test kernel with the patch. It can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1663991/
Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? Also, it does not look like this patch is needed in the 4.4 based kernel, just 4.8 and newer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663991 Title: Unable to Connect Third HDD via USB Hub Status in Linux: Unknown Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Yakkety: In Progress Bug description: Hello, I am running: (K)Ubuntu 16.10 4.8.0-37-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 26 02:27:07 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux There has been found a bug in 4.8, which causes kernel call trace when I connect third USB HDD to a USB hub.
