Vivek and Amit, are you two copies of the same person?
Anyway, you're both right that urb->use_count is not decremented until
after the completion routine returns. But Amit wrote:

This is wrong. Processing continues during urb->complete, which may
even resubmit the URB.
Now, maybe your problem is that somehow urb->reject is getting set to 0
at the wrong time. You should check its value as well as the value of
urb->use_count.
