Alan, i want to discuss your suggestion again in b42e8090ba93 ("USB: UDC:
Implement udc_async_callbacks in net2280")

+ if (dev->async_callbacks) { ----> if CPU1 saw this
is true
+ spin_unlock(&dev->lock); ---> CPU2 get lock
after this unlock,
it will set async_callbacks to false, then follow call also crash, right ?
+                               tmp = dev->driver->setup(&dev->gadget,
&u.r);
+                               spin_lock(&dev->lock);
+                       }

No, this is okay.  The reason is because usb_gadget_remove_driver (CPU2
in your example) does this:

        usb_gadget_disable_async_callbacks(udc);
        if (udc->gadget->irq)
                synchronize_irq(udc->gadget->irq);
        udc->driver->unbind(udc->gadget);
        usb_gadget_udc_stop(udc);

The synchronize_irq call will make CPU2 wait until CPU1 has finished
handling the interrupt for the setup packet.  The system won't crash,
because dev->driver->setup will be called before unbind and udc_stop
instead of after.
still several question,
1. how about suspend calll dev->driver->suspend ?
2. will 04145a03db9d ("USB: UDC: Implement udc_async_callbacks in dummy-hcd") backport to LTS branch ?
3. how about coding style ? so following code
if (foo->gadget_driver && foo->gadget_driver->resume)
change to
if (foo->asnyc_callbacks && foo->gadget_driver->resume)
