I need to modify it from interrupt context (the usb_request's complete() callback), but modifying the termios requires a rw_semaphore I can't take. I could queue_work() to do it, but then I'd have to flush the work from another non-sleepable context in acm_disconnect() (which runs under a spinlock). I can't change the semaphore to a spinlock because some drivers that use it actually wanna sleep while holding it.
