There is a potential deadlock when the usb_generic driver is unbound from a device. The problem is that generic_disconnect() is called with the device lock held, and it removes a bunch of device attributes from sysfs. If a user task happens to be running an attribute method at the time, the removal will block until the method returns. But at least one of the attribute methods (the store routine for power/level) needs to acquire the device lock! This patch (as1093) eliminates the deadlock by moving the calls to create and remove the sysfs attributes from the usb_generic driver into usb_new_device() and usb_disconnect(), where they can be invoked without holding the device lock. Besides, the other sysfs attributes are created when the device is registered and removed when the device is unregistered. So it seems only fitting for the extra attributes to be created and removed at the same time.
