Hi, Typically when we use spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock_irqrestore, we save the irq state in the "flags" variable and pass it down to any function that may need to do spin_unlock_irqrestore and update the flags again. I don't see that we're doing it for dwc3 when we give back the requests: void dwc3_gadget_giveback(struct dwc3_ep *dep, struct dwc3_request *req, int status) { struct dwc3 *dwc = dep->dwc; dwc3_gadget_del_and_unmap_request(dep, req, status); req->status = DWC3_REQUEST_STATUS_COMPLETED; spin_unlock(&dwc->lock); usb_gadget_giveback_request(&dep->endpoint, &req->request); spin_lock(&dwc->lock); } Then we would use the stale "flags" to do spin_unlock_irqrestore() at a later time. Maybe someone can help shed some light on what issue this would cause (if any). From our hardware testing, there's no obvious failure or performance impact that we see. Thanks, Thinh
