[2.5.15-rc2] khubd eating all CPU upon trying to remove pwc driver

[Shawn Starr]

Hi Greg, 

It appears while debugging camserv to add some features, if I kill camserv 
prematurely, and try to unload the pwc driver I am unable to. 

I get the following:

PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
1068 root      20  -5     0    0    0 R 95.8  0.0   3:26.84 khubd

The kernel USB hub daemon goes nuts. 

If I disconnect the cam from the USB

[4294920.159000] pwc pwc_isoc_handler() called with status -84 [CRC/Timeout

What information do you need? Yes I know it's bad to yank out USB devices that 
aren't properly shut down.

Thanks, 

Shawn.
