systemd-udevd does not start usbmuxd

[zgoda_j]

Tried on both 5.17 and 5.20, Debian and Ubuntu with legacy kernel. Debian has systemd 215, Ubuntu has 225 iirc.

 

If I plug an iphone usbmuxd is started by systemd-udevd as directed by udev rule (stock one) and gets shut down when I unplug it, again how it's supposed to be. The problem is, it does not start if I plug any Apple device again. Restarting systemd-udevd service does not help at all, and when I reboot the board usbmuxd gets started when I plug iphone but again only once.

 

1st plug in/plug off in syslog:

Then the same device plugged in:

Sep 19 09:29:32 localhost kernel: [  244.878100] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using sw-ehci

And that's all.

 

This works on amd64 Ubuntu 16.04 as expected.

 

EDIT: usbmuxd is properly started by systemd-udevd on Jessie vanilla, so this seems related to kernel.

 

EDIT2: board is Banana Pro.

Any hints where should I look for clues?

Works fine on Bananian with 3.4.112 kernel so it might be related to Armbian build. Or is related to systemd-udevd because Bananian does not use systemd, usbmuxd is started from plain udevd.

# uname -a

Here's the diff. I have no idea which options play any role in the problem.

This is not related to hardware, result is exactly the same on 5.20 on H3 device with legacy kernel.
