This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: fix regression occurring during device removal
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb-2.6.git in the usb-linus branch. The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also will be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From e534c5b831c8b8e9f5edee5c8a37753c808b80dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern <st...@rowland.harvard.edu> Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 16:43:02 -0400 Subject: USB: fix regression occurring during device removal This patch (as1476) fixes a regression introduced by fccf4e86200b8f5edd9a65da26f150e32ba79808 (USB: Free bandwidth when usb_disable_device is called). usb_disconnect() grabs the bandwidth_mutex before calling usb_disable_device(), which calls down indirectly to usb_set_interface(), which tries to acquire the bandwidth_mutex. The fix causes usb_set_interface() to return early when it is called for an interface that has already been unregistered, which is what happens in usb_disable_device().
