Joseph, I have installed the patched kernel. As of now, I have a USB hub connected with four drives attached to it. It is twice as much as I could connect before. The syslog seems to be perfectly clear and kswapd does not hang with 100% CPU consumption. I am stressing the drives a bit and everything is working fine so far. The problem looks completely fixed.
Thank you very much! Two more questions please, ... The kernel from you updated (removed) my only kernel installed. When a new kernel is released, will the update process take care automatically or should I execute some pre/post update procedures to keep my system working and clean? Can I expect the patch to be included in the next kernel update? I do not want to make my system unstable again. Thank you once more, Joseph and Vej ... -- 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.
