--- Comment #36 from Ali Abdallah <ali.abdallah@suse.com> ---
(In reply to Hans Petter Selasky from comment #26)

The issue is that ioctl thread to get the media status, which basically sta=
rted
by userspace races with ue_tick_task. And I finally know why.

The usbd_do_request_flags called releases the lock and then later acquire it
(see the code). So, an ioctl waiting on the same lock will be executed toge=
ther
with ue_tick_task (because they aren't executed from the same thread), caus=
ing
the race observed here and basically breaking all usb ethernet devices.

I will shortly attach a patch to Sync ioctl/tick media status changes.
