3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@xxxxxxxxx> commit ae5943de8c8c4438cbac5cda599ff0b88c224468 upstream. This error happens because PIPEnsControlOut and PIPEnsControlIn unlock the spin lock for delay, letting in another thread. The patch moves the current MP_SET_FLAG to before filling of sUsbCtlRequest for pControlURB and clears it in event of failing. Any thread calling either function while fMP_CONTROL_READS or fMP_CONTROL_WRITES flags set will return STATUS_FAILURE.
