[Jon-o Addleman <jono@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm reopening this old bug report, because it's still not really fixed,
even in the most recent kernels, and I've finally had a chance to do
some more debugging. Here's what I found, after doing some git bisects
and compiling a whole lot of kernels:

This is the first commit causing the problem: kernels after this point
exhibit the "sequence errors" messages in the log.


commit c44b225077bb1fb25ed5cd5c4f226897b91bedd4

      UHCI: implement new semantics for URB_ISO_ASAP


Later on, more usb changes occured around commit bef073b067a7b1874a6b381e0035bb0516d71a77, right before v3.12-rc3 - after this point, the  messages no longer appear in the log, but instead, there's a kernel panic when I use the Tascam - sometimes it works for a while, and sometimes it crashes right away. This is true for kernels well into this year (though I haven't tested the most recent ones, it doesn't look like this USB code has been touched since 2013).

I hope this is useful for further debugging - as things stand, I have to
boot up a 3-year-old kernel to use the device!

Title:
  USB  sequence errors in snd_usb_usx2y

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using kernel 3.8.0.19.35, when I plug in my Tascam us-122 usb audio
  device, the log fills up with many of the following messages as soon
  as the firmware is loaded:

  May  5 18:40:31 scaph kernel: [64138.774214] Sequence Error!(hcd_frame=391894 ep=10out;wait=391892,frame=391890).
  May  5 18:40:31 scaph kernel: [64138.774214] Most probably some urb of usb-frame 391892 is still missing.
  May  5 18:40:31 scaph kernel: [64138.774214] Cause could be too long delays in usb-hcd interrupt handling.

  The device seems to initialize properly, but any attempt to actually
  use it (starting jackd for example) results in a few more of those
  messages in the log, and the program fails to connect to the device.

  This is very similar to a bug that cropped up several years ago -
  here's a thread I made on the alsa-user list back in 2006 (!) about
  that one: http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-
  user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg18003.html That bug was fixed in  2.6.18
  so I don't know if it might be actually related or not.

  In any case, I've temporarily solved the issue by downgrading to
  quantal's kernel, 3.5.0-28, which doesn't have the bug.
