[12/74] staging: usbip: bugfixes related to kthread conversion

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Apr 13 2011 - 12:10:58 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Arjan Mels <arjan.mels@xxxxxxx>

commit d2dd0b07c3e725d386d20294ec906f7ddef207fa upstream.

When doing a usb port reset do a queued reset instead to prevent a
deadlock: the reset will cause the driver to unbind, causing the
usb_driver_lock_for_reset to stall.
