wake_up_process(tcp_rx) can call vhci_shutdown_connection() before wake_up_process(tcp_tx) is called.

And note that

because vhci_port_disconnect() from detach_store() can call usbip_event_add(&vdev->ud, VDEV_EVENT_DOWN)
(same use after free bug regarding tcp_tx and tcp_rx) as soon as all shared states are set up and
spinlocks are released.

What you had better consider first is how to protect event_handler()/usbip_sockfd_store()/attach_store()/detach_store() functions
 from concurrent calls. Please respond to https://lkml.kernel.org/r/3dab66dc-2981-bc88-a370-4b3178dfd390@i-love.sakura.ne.jp
before you try to make further changes.
