Dear all, In existing implementation, event kernel threads are created for each port. The functions of the threads are closing connection and error handling so they don't have not so many events to handle. There' no need to have thread for each port. BEFORE) vhci side - VHCI_NPORTS(8) threads are created. $ ps aux | grep usbip root 10059 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 17:06 0:00 [usbip_eh] root 10060 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?

S 17:06 0:00 [usbip_eh] BEFORE) stub side - threads will be created every bind operation. $ ps aux | grep usbip root 8368 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 17:56 0:00 [usbip_eh] root 8399 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 17:56 0:00 [usbip_eh] This series of patches put event threads of stub and vhci driver as one workqueue. AFTER) only one event threads in each vhci and stub side. $ ps aux | grep usbip root 10457 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?
