this one is my fault, caused by driver-core-fix-bus_rescan_devices-race.patch
problem is that USB is direclty messing with dev->driver and then calling
device_bind_driver() if the device is not already bound...
i think the correct solution would be a sane API here and disallow direct
messing with dev->driver...meanwhile the attached patch will do.
messing directly with dev->driver is especially bad if it's already set
to another driver. this leads to problems later in device_release_driver().
akpm: please replace driver-core-fix-bus_rescan_devices-race.patch with
the attached one.

[PATCH] driver core: fix bus_rescan_devices() race.
bus_rescan_devices_helper() does not hold the dev->sem when it checks for
!dev->driver. device_attach() holds the sem, but calls again device_bind_driver()
even when dev->driver is set. what happens is that a first device_attach() call
(module insertion time) is on the way binding the device to a driver. another
thread calls bus_rescan_devices(). now when bus_rescan_devices_helper() checks
for dev->driver it is still NULL 'cos the the prior device_attach() is not yet
finished. but as soon as the first one releases the dev->sem the second
device_attach() tries to rebind the already bound device again.
device_bind_driver() does this blindly which leads to a corrupt
driver->klist_devices list (the device links itself, the head points to the
device). later a call to device_release_driver() sets dev->driver to NULL and
breaks the link it has to itself on knode_driver. rmmoding the driver later
calls driver_detach() which leads to an endless loop 'cos the list head in
klist_devices still points to the device. and since dev->driver is NULL it's
stuck with the same device forever. boom. and rmmod hangs.
very easy to reproduce with new-style pcmcia and a 16bit card. just loop
modprobe <pcmcia-modules> ;cardctl eject; rmmod <card driver, pcmcia modules>.
easiest fix is to check if the device is already bound to a driver in
device_bind_driver(). this avoids the double binding. nicer would be not to
call device_bind_driver() in device_attach() if dev->driver is set. but since
some drivers are messing with dev->driver directly this is not a good idea.
and while at it replace spin_(un|)lock_irq in driver_detach with the non-irq
variants. just doesn't make sense to me. the whole klist locking never uses the
irq variants.
