No, it does not need to be waited for, as the host controller still has a reference on the urb during that time, so the last person who cals usb_free_urb() will really release the memory. This was done to help solve all of these kinds of problems :) But the one whole is that the driver could be unloaded before the completion handler is run, but we'll just not worry about that issue anymore due to the depreciation of unloading modules... thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
