Alan, i want to discuss your suggestion again in b42e8090ba93 ("USB: 
UDC:
Implement udc_async_callbacks in net2280")

+                       if (dev->async_callbacks) { ----> if CPU1 saw 
this is true
+                               spin_unlock(&dev->lock); ---> CPU2 get 
lock after this unlock,
it will set async_callbacks to false, then follow call also crash, right 
?
+                               tmp = dev->driver->setup(&dev->gadget, 
&u.r);
+                               spin_lock(&dev->lock);
+                       }
