And where exactly you see a bug?

wbsd_request_end() can be called in the following ways:

- through wbsd_finish_data() from tasklet (therefore no need to disable
tasklets there)
- from wbsd_request() directly. The sequence here is

spin_lock_bh(&host->lock);
...
wbsd_request_end(host, mrq);
spin_unlock(&host->lock);
....
spin_lock(&host->lock);
spin_unlock_bh(&host->lock);
So the whole thing runs with tasklets disabled, no matter what you do
with the host->lock, and they are only enabled at the very end of
wbsd_request()

So, what exact problem scenario do you see here?
