Minfei,
Thanks for your testing.
On my system, I got error messages:

[    8.019096] usb usb2: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, 
SerialNumber=1

And this patch can fix this.


The reason you do not get error messages may be there is no ongoing DMA
request on your PCI devices when kdump kernel boots, I am not sure of
this.
