I find it ^^

Do you mean ,
take uvc/uac for example,
if we put completion what they register previously in BH,
the spin_lock() in their completions should be changed to spin_lock_irqsave()?
Is it due to original completion is called in irq context?

Below is so far kernel implementation.
Isn't it put completion handler into tasklet?
.......................
......................
spin_lock(&bh->lock);
list_add_tail(&urb->urb_list, &bh->head);
running = bh->running;
spin_unlock(&bh->lock);
if (running)
;
else if (high_prio_bh)
tasklet_hi_schedule(&bh->bh);
else
tasklet_schedule(&bh->bh);
Thanks for your help,
