On the topic of USB, I've noticed a problem lately with my setup that
seems to indicate a race condition somewhere in the ukbd driver.

I have a Sun w2100z box with several USB 2.0 controllers. The system
has two 2.4Ghz Opteron 250 CPUs, and I'm running it in SMP mode. It
uses a Sun type 6 USB keyboard and USB mouse. I also have a Dell LCD
flat screen display, which has a built-in USB hub. I have the display
plugged into one of the Sun's USB ports and the keyboard and mouse
plugged into the display, the idea being to reduce the number of cables
dangling behind my desk.

The thing is, when I power off the Dell monitor, it also powers off
its internal USB hub. This in turn shuts off power to the keyboard and
mouse, which now look as if they've been unplugged. I tend to power
the monitor off when I leave for work in the morning and turn it back
on when I come home. Ideally, the keyboard and mouse should reconnect
once the power is on again, but when I turn the display back on, what
I find is that the kernel has panicked inside ukbd_timeout():

ndis0: link up
ndis0: no matching rate for: 216
uhub2: at uhub1 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
ukbd0: at uhub2 port 1 (addr 3) disconnected
ukbd0: detached

It looks as if the ukbd_timeout() routine is not always disabled when
the ukbd driver is detached. I suspect there is a race condition somewhere
that only manifests on SMP, but I haven't been able to track it down.
This is with the 6.0 SNAP002 CD from March 18th. It also happened with
the SNAP001 CD.
