The way the event handler works can cause it to delay
events until eventual wakeup for another event.
For example, on device detach (vhci):
- Write to sysfs detach file
-> usbip_event_add(VDEV_EVENT_DOWN)
-> wakeup()
#define VDEV_EVENT_DOWN (USBIP_EH_SHUTDOWN | USBIP_EH_RESET).
- Event thread wakes up and passes the event to
event_handler() to process.
- It processes and clears the USBIP_EH_SHUTDOWN
flag then returns.
- The outer event loop (event_handler_loop()) calls
wait_event_interruptible().
The processing of the second flag which is part of
VDEV_EVENT_DOWN (USBIP_EH_RESET) did not happen yet.
It is delayed until the next event.
This means the ->reset callback may not happen for
a long time (if ever), leaving the usbip port in a
weird state which prevents its reuse.
This patch changes the handler to process all flags
before waiting for another wakeup.
I have verified this change to fix a problem which
prevented reattach of a usbip device. It also helps
for socket errors which missed the RESET as well.
The delayed event processing also affects the stub
side of usbip and the error handling there.
