wake_up_process(tcp_rx) can call vhci_shutdown_connection() before 
wake_up_process(tcp_tx) is called.

And note that

is as well not sufficient, for you are still missing

because vhci_port_disconnect() from detach_store() can call 
usbip_event_add(&vdev->ud, VDEV_EVENT_DOWN)
(same use after free bug regarding tcp_tx and tcp_rx) as soon as all shared 
states are set up and
spinlocks are released.

What you had better consider first is how to protect 
event_handler()/usbip_sockfd_store()/attach_store()/detach_store() functions
 from concurrent calls. Please respond to

before you try to make further changes.
