Member "status" of struct usb_sg_request is managed by usb core. A spin lock is used to serialize the change of it. The driver could check the value of req->status, but should avoid changing it without the hold of the spinlock. Otherwise, it could cause race or error in usb core. This patch could be backported to stable kernels with version later than v3.14.
