USBIP Error can't open vhci-hcd driver even after modprobe vhci-hcd

Hallo I am trying to attach a USB Device.

Server is Arch Linux (Host)
Client is also Arch Linux

[xxx@archlinux ~]$ lsmod | grep vhci_hcd
vhci_hcd               49152  0

usb_common             16384  3 vhci_hcd,usbcore,usbip_core

at client

[root@anarchy]: /home/owner># usbip list -r serverip

I tried to google the problem but I can't find a solution. The Windows driver seems not even to list the devices

EDIT:
HERE the usbip --debug attach -r ip -b 1-1

I had the exact same problem!
I had to ?explicitly? update the usbip package which now is on 4.14.1.

Right now I am running
Linux matrix 4.15.0-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 24 07:39:02 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux
with
usbip (usbip-utils 2.0)

And things are up and running again.

I, too, am having the same problem.

I just made a full system upgrade.

pacman -Ss usbip gives:

community/usbip 4.14-1 (linux-tools) [installed]
    An USB device sharing system over IP network

But I am still experiencing the issue. Perhaps this gets fixed with Linux 4.15, because I am currently running:

Linux 4.14.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 20 21:27:44 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

4.14.13-1-ARCH
Still the issue.

but if you in a rush:

install LTS kernel:
4.9.76-1-lts

and install downgrade
and downgrade to: usbip-4.10-1
downgrade usbip

don't forget:
sudo modprobe vhci_hcd

and lastly:
sudo usbip --debug list --remote="192.168.x.x"
sudo usbip --debug attach --remote="192.168.x.x" --busid="x-y.z"

to detach:
sudo usbip port
choose port xx from list and
sudo usbip detach --port=xx

LTS and downgrade sometimes save my life.
It's easier than compile usbip from source and patch everything from scratch what's an option as well.

4.14 has become lts in the meantime and it is still an issue for 4.14.82 (linux-tools, which include usbip, are already v 4.19).

There is a bug report upstream with a patch :
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197607

Or simple commenting out of two lines worked for me:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56069#comment163073

Recompiling patched linux-tools 4.14 against lts eventually produces a working usbip.

P.S. I guess this does not count as necro-bumping :-)

Is this fixed by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 2c7c3c9793 ?

MilanKnizek · 2018-11-27 19:30:00

Not sure. The bug I experienced was because the path is ".../vhci_hcd.0/status", while the 'usbip attach' command may fail due to lookup of a ".../vhci_hcd.0/status.0"

Commenting out the condition on line 118:

static int refresh_imported_device_list(void)                                                                           
{                                                                                                                       
<------>const char *attr_status;

<------>for (i = 0; i < vhci_driver->ncontrollers; i++) {                                                               
// MK: the file name is vhci_hcd.0/status, not vhci_hcd.0/status.0                                                      
//<----><------>if (i > 0)                                                                                              
//<----><------><------>snprintf(status, sizeof(status), "status.%d", i);

This ugly workaround is certainly not a solution - but then again, I am not a coder :-( and it "works for me".
