Just had this problem again, even with latest raring kernel (3.8.0-19). I think this problem is related to the power info of HID devices. Right before the problem occurs there is a "driver failed to report capacity property" message for this device (Apple magic mouse): [ 6626.030030] power_supply hid-7c:d1:c3:6b:17:08-battery: driver failed to report `capacity' property: -5 [ 6628.045292] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 6628.045304] WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:536 sysfs_add_one+0xd4/0x100() [ 6628.045306] Hardware name: GJ378AA-ACP a6145.at [ 6628.045309] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb8/8-2/8-2:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:22' [ 6628.045311] Modules linked in: nls_iso8859_1 hid_magicmouse hid_apple hidp hid xt_multiport iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables pci_stub vboxpci(OF) vboxnetadp(OF) vboxnetflt(OF) vboxdrv(OF) parport_pc ppdev parport bnep rfcomm binfmt_misc btusb dm_crypt arc4 rt73usb rt2x00usb rt2x00lib mac80211 cfg80211 snd_hda_codec_realtek gpio_ich snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcm snd_page_alloc snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event snd_rawmidi snd_seq snd_seq_device snd_timer snd coretemp kvm_intel ath3k kvm bluetooth lpc_ich soundcore serio_raw btrfs zlib_deflate libcrc32c raid10 raid456 async_memcpy async_raid6_recov async_pq async_xor xor async_tx raid6_pq raid0 multipath linear raid1 usb_storage nouveau microcode mxm_wmi wmi video i2c_algo_bit ttm firewire_ohci drm_kms_helper firewire_core crc_itu_t drm ahci libahci e1000e [ 6628.045398] Pid: 7, comm: kworker/u:0H Tainted: GF O 3.8.0-19-lowlatency #13-Ubuntu [ 6628.045400] Call Trace: [ 6628.045408] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 6628.045412] [] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x4c/0x50 [ 6628.045417] [] ? strlcat+0x65/0x80 [ 6628.045421] [] sysfs_add_one+0xd4/0x100 [ 6628.045426] [] create_dir+0x78/0xd0 [ 6628.045430] [] sysfs_create_dir+0x86/0xe0 [ 6628.045435] [] kobject_add_internal+0x9a/0x210 [ 6628.045439] [] ? vsnprintf+0x461/0x640 [ 6628.045443] [] kobject_add+0x6c/0xc0 [ 6628.045448] [] device_add+0x106/0x6c0 [ 6628.045452] [] ? dev_set_name+0x47/0x50 [ 6628.045467] [] hci_conn_add_sysfs+0x44/0x80 [bluetooth] [ 6628.045479] [] hci_conn_complete_evt.isra.49+0xd5/0x3b0 [bluetooth] [ 6628.045484] [] ? native_sched_clock+0x15/0x80 [ 6628.045495] [] hci_event_packet+0x1a48/0x2c90 [bluetooth] [ 6628.045501] [] ? default_spin_lock_flags+0x9/0x10 [ 6628.045512] [] hci_rx_work+0x26b/0x2f0 [bluetooth] [ 6628.045518] [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0xa/0x40 [ 6628.045523] [] process_one_work+0x157/0x500 [ 6628.045527] [] worker_thread+0x16d/0x460 [ 6628.045532] [] ? busy_worker_rebind_fn+0x110/0x110 [ 6628.045536] [] kthread+0xc0/0xd0 [ 6628.045540] [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x120/0x120 [ 6628.045544] [] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [ 6628.045548] [] ? kthread_create_on_node+0x120/0x120 [ 6628.045551] ---[ end trace c854f4f4a251927e ]---
