To: linux-usb
I have an external 4-way USB3.0 hub (I actually have two of them) That do not behave as expected.
It is an XCD XCDESSUSBH4BK. It is unpowered. I am on fedora 34, kernel 5.13.8-200.fc34.x86_64
For starters, I found that attaching a USB SSD does not allow booting from it.
I then found that when attaching my phone it is not recognized.
I searched the hub model and IDs but did not find relevant information.
Is there an official list of supported hubs (or devices)?
Here is what it looks like.
When the hub is attached (no phone) I see
Bus 001 Device 048: ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5411 Hub
and
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/16p, 480M
|__ Port 5: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
|__ Port 2: Dev 48, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
Attaching the phone does not add a device.
Detaching/attaching the hub (with the phone already plugged in) I get
Bus 001 Device 052: ID 04e8:6860 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd Galaxy A5 (MTP)
Bus 001 Device 051: ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5411 Hub
and
/: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/16p, 480M
|__ Port 5: Dev 5, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
|__ Port 2: Dev 51, If 0, Class=Hub, Driver=hub/4p, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 52, If 1, Class=Communications, Driver=cdc_acm, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 52, If 2, Class=CDC Data, Driver=cdc_acm, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 52, If 0, Class=Imaging, Driver=, 480M
|__ Port 1: Dev 52, If 3, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=, 480M
and the phone is recognized and accessible as MTP device.
Here are the logged messages for the two situations.

Great, so when does this not work? This shows a successful device
found.

Attaching the USB SSD directly to the PC does boot from it though.

Yes, this does show success, but earlier there is this failure shown:
## plug phone:
(no new messages)
In other words, the system did not notice the phone when it was plugged into that hub.
I then attached the hub to the machine with the phone already plugged into it and it was
noticed.
My suspicion is that the hub is at fault and it fails to report the (phone plugged in) event
so linux probably has no knowledge of this.
What I failed to mention is that plugging a USB disk into this hub IS recognized as expected.
Something is not happy between the phone and this hub.
Plugging the phone to other USB 3.0 ports on this machine is recognized properly.

right, booting happens way before the OS gets a chance to run. Sounds
like a BIOS issue.

does anything work when plugged to that hub? Is the hub self-powered or

do you have other hubs around to test?

A USB disk is seen from this hub.
It is not powered.

I just connected another hub to the same port and the phone shows up OK.
I have two identical hubs like the one failing and both fail in the same way. This issue is specific to these hubs.

No, any hub by implementing the hub specification is supported.

Just for the sake of completeness, could you post 'lsusb -v'
for that hub?

That suggests a bug in the hub firmware. specifically that
under unknown circumstances it fails to generate events
for connection changes.

In other respects it does work.
Based on a hunch, could you test whether the circumstances
this device fails under is related to runtime PM?
In order to do so you boot with
usbcore.autosuspend=-1
on the kernel command line.

I do not know it it is of value, but when the phone is not detected, it also does not
indicate that it is connected using MTP. It thinks it is only being charged only.

Well I can do better. I use USB TV tuners and in /etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf I see
options usbcore autosuspend=-1
It is a leftover from using an old tuner.
