staging: usbip: bugfix for deadlock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Interrupts must be disabled prior to calling usb_hcd_unlink_urb_from_ep.
If interrupts are not disabled, it can potentially lead to a deadlock.
The deadlock is readily reproduceable on a slower (ARM based) device
such as the TI Pandaboard.
