I looked for a race here, but I do not find a race between open and release,
since a refcount of "file_data->data->kref" is always hold by
usbtmc_probe/disconnect.

However I see a race between usbtmc_open and usbtmc_disconnect. Are these
callback functions called mutual exclusive?

No, they are not.

In the meantime I found these conflictive hints:

and
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.17-rc6/source/include/linux/usb.h#L1164

What do you think?
My current feeling is that open/disconnect is mutual exclusive.
We also could verify what really happens.

Thanks,

Guido


I'm not sure, but if not, then I think we have the same problem in
usb-skeleton.c

In usb-skeleton.c a race exists. You are right.
