The interface read URB is submitted in attach, but was only unlinked by the driver at disconnect. In case of a late probe error (e.g. due to failed minor allocation), disconnect is never called and we would end up with active URBs for an unbound interface. This in turn could lead to deallocated memory being dereferenced in the completion callback.
