Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

Playing some Smash on Dolphin with some friends, one of them uses an Xbox one controller. Whenever he plugs it in, the entire system freezes. It's consistently repeatable, and forces us to play on Windows.

Here's the relevant parts of the system log, right after plugging in the controller:

The Xbox One controller grinds all my CPU's to a halt until the computer stops functioning entirely, other Xbox 360, Game cube, and Steam Controllers work fine.

Oh yeah I'm also using the official kernel, nothing custom.

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

I experience the same here. It's the 2015 version of the Xbox One Wireless controller with latest controller firmware installed.

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

You should check if this has been reported upstream and if not open a bug report.

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

bug seems to be fixed upstream...

sudo git clone https://github.com/paroj/xpad.git /usr/src/xpad-0.4
cd /usr/src/xpad-0.4
sudo dkms install -m xpad -v 0.4

arch kernel should update xpad driver .

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

For whatever the fix is, it needs to be accepted in the upstream kernel code, otherwise it will not be shipped with arch's kernel.

You are still free to package it in the AUR if it isn't there already.

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

I've got the same problem.
Running 4.3.3-1-CK kernel, I get similar dmesg output.
But when I installed xpad from git using dkms and connected the controller the system just freeze.

Anyone solved this?

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

Also having this problem. It freezes both when I have nothing and when I have the xpad from git using dkms. Is there another driver that could work?

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

When booting with current mainline kernel (4.4 rc6) the controller is detected but it does not work in games.
Also when using evtest I get no output while pressing buttons.

Re: Kernel Bug when connecting Xbox One controller.

So it seems the problem is with newer firmware versions of the controller.
M$ changed the initialization sequence of the controller which means we need to wait for xpad update.
