Hi Jiri,

the commit mentioned below has already been backported to 3.10 stable,
can you please add it to 3.12 stable?

A test build with patch-3.12.31-rc1 and the commit in question
builds and runs fine for me.

Thank you in advance.

Subject: linux-stable: backport usb related commit to 3.10 and 3.12?
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 13:19:09 +0200
To:
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org



Greetings.

On an administered server, I noticed that there's a constant load
around 0.70 when running kernels 3.10 and 3.12, even if
the system is doing nothing, and in single user mode.
Culprit seems to be the process 'khubd'.
No such effect when running kernels 3.4 or 3.14.

I reverse bisected linux-stable and found that the following commit
fixes it for me, for both kernel 3.10 and 3.12:

[08d1dec6f4054e3613f32051d9b149d4203ce0d2] usb:hub set hub->change_bits when over-current happens


Could that commit be backported to the stable 3.10 and 3.12 series?

(Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, but I'd be happy to help with any testing involved)

Regards
Ingmar
