In principle the put_device and corresponding get_device calls aren't needed. We don't release a usb_device structure until after disabling all its endpoints, and disabling an endpoint will wait until all the URBs for that endpoint have completed. So there's no reason to keep a reference to the device structure for each URB. I see that uhci-hcd is guilty of the same thing (reference acquired for each QH, released while holding a spinlock). Probably each of the host controller drivers is. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
