The change in rx_bottom is fine. My point is about read_bulk_callback.
rx_bottom races with read_bulk_callback. rx_bottom is issued in
tasklet (softirq) context. read_bulk_callback is issued in irq
context, with irq disabled. read_bulk_callback does not need to
disable irq itself and could go with spin_lock in place of
spin_lock_irqsave (rx_bottom can't, of course).
I think I misunderstand your meaning.
I would modify them. Thanks.
Best Regards,
Hayes
