    USB: convert usb_hcd bitfields into atomic flags · 541c7d43
    Alan Stern authored
    This patch (as1393) converts several of the single-bit fields in
    struct usb_hcd to atomic flags.  This is for safety's sake; not all
    CPUs can update bitfield values atomically, and these flags are used
    in multiple contexts.
    
    The flag fields that are set only during registration or removal can
    remain as they are, since non-atomic accesses at those times will not
    cause any problems.
    
    (Strictly speaking, the authorized_default flag should become atomic
    as well.  I didn't bother with it because it gets changed only via
    sysfs.  It can be done later, if anyone wants.)
