OK, we have this report and nobody understands it. If I may summarize:

1. We do not conclusively know how the URB was submitted
2. We are clear about which memory was freed and accessed
3. We agree that the URB should have been unlinked

Do we agree on what we agree on?

Theories:

A. There is a race that would allow disconnect() and resume() to run
concurrently

B. There is a race in usblp which affects 'used'

C. There is a bug in the virtual driver that can make unlinking an URB
fail

What do you think? How to investigate this further and is it worth it?
Do we have documentation on what KASAN does?
