Is other code doing something similar ? > Using a mutex like this creates the risk for hung tasks. If other code means drivers in tree, then yes. Examples are drivers/usb/storage/usb.c, usbtmc.c, synaptics_usb.c, vub300.c, zd_usb.c, usb-skeleton.c, etc. I'll check the Alan's suggestion and will try to implement that. Best regards, Alexey
