    SubjectISSUE: usb-storage causes system freeze on large transfers
    1.  usb-storage causes system freeze on large transfers.

    2. When transferring data from a SanDisk ImageMate SDDR-31 loaded with
    an IBM Microdrive, I get random system freezes.

    In the first case, using 2.4.0-test10 with a 50MB transfer, the system
    dropped out of X with a console freeze and a message about the watchdog
    timer. Sorry, but I didn't have paper around to write out the whole
    message.

    In the second and third cases, using 2.4.0-test11 with 10-20MB
    transfers, the system became non-responsive and required a hard reboot.
    No messages were given in the log files.

    All of the cases were within a three hour period on the same machine
    (see description below). In each case, the command "cp /mnt/camera/* ."
    was issued.

    Note that I have had a half-dozen successfully completed transfers of
    10-40MB in between these errors. The words "race condition" come to
    mind.

    3. Keywords: usb usb-storage

    4. Kernel version: 2.4.0-test10/2.4.0-test11

    5. No OOPS available.

    6. "cp /mnt/camera/* ." will cause the error. In this case, I mounted
    /mnt/camera on /dev/sdd1, where the usb-storage driver had provided
    /dev/sdd1 for the SanDisk device.
