There is a race condition between 
 finish_unlinks->finish_urb() function and 
 usb_kill_urb() in ohci controller case. The finish_urb 
 calls spin_unlock(&ohci->lock) before 
 usb_hcd_giveback_urb() function call, then if during 
 this time, usb_kill_urb is called for another endpoint,
   then new ed will be added to ed_rm_list at beginning 
 for unlink. and ed_rm_list will point to newly added 
 ed.

When finish_urb() is completed in finish_unlinks() and
ed->td_list becomes empty as in below code (in finish_unlinks() function)
        if (list_empty(&ed->td_list)) {
                *last = ed->ed_next;
                ed->ed_next = NULL;
        } else if (ohci->rh_state == OHCI_RH_RUNNING) {
                *last = ed->ed_next;
                ed->ed_next = NULL;
                ed_schedule(ohci, ed);
        }
*last = ed->ed_next will make ed_rm_list to point to ed->ed_next and
previously added ed by usb_kill_urb will be left unreferenced by
ed_rm_list. This causes usb_kill_urb() hang forever waiting for
finish_unlink to remove added ed from ed_rm_list.

The main reason for hang in this race condtion is addition and removal
of ed from ed_rm_list in the beginning during usb_kill_urb and later last*
is modified in finish_unlinks().
As suggested by Alan Stern, the solution for proper handling of
ohci->ed_rm_list is to remove ed from the ed_rm_list before finishing
any URBs. Then at the end, we can add ed back to the list if necessary.
This properly handle the updated ohci->ed_rm_list in
usb_kill_urb().

                                controller dies")
