Shuah, this driver is getting more and more cryptic and buggy.
Please explain the strategy for serialization before you write patches.
- Fix attach_store() to check usbip_event_happened() before
waking up threads.
No, this helps nothing.

detach_store() can queue shutdown event as soon as reaching "/* end the lock
*/" line
but attach_store() might be preempted immediately after verifying that
usbip_event_happened() was false (i.e. at this location) in order to wait for
shutdown event posted by detach_store() to be processed.
Yes. I haven't sent the patch for that reason. I am trying to test a
solution. I haven't come up with a solution yet.
Holding event_lock isn't the right solution. I am not going to accept
that. This is a window that gets triggered by syzbot injecting errors
in a sequence. Fixing this should be done taking other moving parts of
the driver into account.
thanks,
