I took at closer look at the parport code and it seems the current implementation is already racy but that removing the tasklet is going to widen that that window. Those register writes in restore() should be submitted before any later requests. Perhaps setting a flag and flushing the work in parport_prologue() could work? On the other hand, the restore() implementation looks broken in that it doesn't actually restore the provided state. I'll go fix that up. Johan
