This isn't right.  The problem should be fixed some other way.  Under
what circumstances are URBs submitted incorrectly?

When the device is autosuspended. What is the proper thing for a
device to do here?

From looking at the code, it appears that the EVENT_DEV_ASLEEP flag
should be tested in usbnet_bh() the way it is in rx_submit().  But I'm
not an expert on usbnet; we should ask someone who is, like Oliver.

Sorry, I didn't notice this thread.

The correct way to check for autosuspend in usbnet is to look
at EVENT_DEV_ASLEEP under txq.lock. That being said, usbnet_bh()
uses rx_submit() which does the correct check. The bug seems to be
a lack of error handling in usbnet_bh() regarding the return of rx_submit()
