Bluetooth: hci0: failed to resubmit

So after I experimented with disabling SMT (what Windows calls Hyper-Threading) to account for the SMT CPU vulnerability, found it slowed my computer down too much, and re-enabled SMT, I rebooted.

Then I found that Bluetooth had started acting strangely. It can be enabled, it searches for devices, it finds devices, but the list of devices doesn't show the device name, it only shows, for instance, "Audio device" and "Computer device", and I can't click on them to connect.

I didn't have any Bluetooth devices connected yet on this install. I noticed this problem because "Bluetooth Off" and "Bluetooth On" had disappeared from the pop-up menu (where you set volume and screen brightness) at the bottom-right of the screen. Now it only shows up when Bluetooth is on, and disappears from that menu when Bluetooth is off.

dmesg | grep -i 'blue' shows:
[ 1034.386471] Bluetooth: hci0: urb 00000000edad6988 failed to resubmit (2)

Here's some troubleshooting I've done:

I don't believe I've uninstalled any services which would touch Bluetooth. I've uninstalled Braille Services, OpenVPN and the Text-To-Speech code, that's it.

What is the current content or your grub file?

Just the changes you showed me how to make in another thread... making the Grub menu show on each boot, setting the resolution to 1024x768 and a timeout of 10 seconds. It worked before.

Not to worry, I got it working again by reinstalling, and in the process, I finally figured out how to properly set up a ZFS L2ARC cache drive (with proper GPT layout) such that even if the drive path changes (ie: /dev/sdb1 to, say, /dev/sdb3), it'll still work. I'll post about that in a bit.

I did wrestle with a wicked little gremlin on this reinstall... I got the machine set up the way I wanted, then I rebooted and it froze right before it loaded the desktop background image. So I'm going step-by-step and rebooting between each step. If it happens again, I can roll back via the Grub menu, and I'll know what's causing it.

But the Intel CPU microcodes I wrote about are now rolled into the installation. That's one thing I noticed.

Figured out what was causing the computer to hang... it was the Synaptics driver.

The devs must have changed some things since my last install... the Intel CPU microcodes are now rolled into the installation, and my touchpad isn't nearly so touchy even without the Synaptics driver.
