From: Gioh Kim <gi-oh.kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> We got a warning message below. When server tries to close one session by force, it locks the sysfs interface and locks the srv_sess lock. The problem is that client can send a request to close at the same time. By close request, server locks the srv_sess lock and locks the sysfs to remove the sysfs interfaces. The simplest way to prevent that situation could be just use mutex_trylock.
