I don't think it's a refcounting problem. My guess is that the
underlying cause is the bug in your urb->status removal patch for
usb_start_wait_urb() -- the one I fixed here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb-devel&m=118531582013355&w=2

Of course, my guess could be wrong. I haven't tried to recreate
Linus's bug with that patch reverted. But with the patch present I was
not able to duplicate the bug.
