I am quite aware and my proposal takes it into account. I am sorry that
I failed to explain it adequately.
Did you even look at the pseudocode though?

P.S.
submit_urb()
as->pid = current->pid;
as->tgid = current->tgid;
.....
async_complete()
__kill_same_process(as->pid, as->tgid);
/* DO NOT USE IN DRIVERS (other than USB core) */
__kill_same_process(pid_t pid, pid_t tgid) {
task_struct *we, *maybe_parent;
lock(&tasklist_lock);
we = find_task_by_pid(pid);
maybe_parent = find_task_by_tgid(pid);
if (maybe_parent != NULL && we->parent == maybe_parent)
send_sig_info(sig, info, we);
unlock(&tasklist_lock);
}
