staging: usbip: Process event flags without delay
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.
