Public bug reported:
== Impact ==
A Dell Edge Gateway 3002 user reported that `top` reports around 100% CPU usage
for the libmbim-proxy process. Seen in at least 40% of their devices at some
point during the last 6 months. The CPU keeps high at ~100% days or weeks, but
does return back to normal without a reboot. The LTE connectivity is seemingly
still working as usual.
The issue starts after an EPIPE error in the syslogs: 'cdc_mbim
1-3:1.12: nonzero urb status received: -EPIPE'.
== Fix ==
8fec9355a968 USB: cdc-wdm: ignore -EPIPE from GetEncapsulatedResponse
This has been in mainline kernel since 4.14.
== Testcase ==
Connect to the LTE network and see if libmbim-proxy uses 100% after some point.
== Risk of Regression ==
Low, since
1. Already tested by original reporter and no issue found after more than a
week (usually it fails twice in a week).
2. Ignoring -EPIPE is the default behavior after 4.14.
