Sorry, I didn't notice this thread.

The correct way to check for autosuspend in usbnet is to look
at EVENT_DEV_ASLEEP under txq.lock. That being said, usbnet_bh()
uses rx_submit() which does the correct check. The bug seems to be
a lack of error handling in usbnet_bh() regarding the return of rx_submit()
