Hi,
The real problem seems to be some sort of race in usbtmc and the core
between URBs being added to an anchor, file I/O being stopped, and URBs
being killed or scuttled when the file is flushed.

just to make sure, you think it is failing here:

usb_anchor_resume_wakeups(anchor);

because we cannot guarantee that the anchor pointer
is still valid, unless we refcount anchors, which would
make embedding them impossible?
