USB: usb-skeleton leaking locks on open
This weekend I was hacking around with a trivial USB driver for talking to the boot load firmware of a USB Bit Whacker. It's running the MicroChip Pic18 boot loader firmware and I'm putting together a flash program for writing new FW to the thing. Anyway in my use of the usb-skeleton.c as my starting point I discovered my test program was getting hung up after attempting to write a buffer. The application and driver where hung in a way that required me to reboot to get it to clean up so I could try again. It turned out the code path through skel_open can grap the driver's io_mutex lock and forget to release it. The following patch fixes the problem for me.
