A race exists when initializing ueagle-atm devices where the generic atm device may not yet be created before the driver attempts to initialize it's PHY signal state, which checks whether the atm device has been created or not. This often causes the sysfs 'carrier' attribute to be '1' even though no signal has actually been found. uea_probe usbatm_usb_probe driver->bind (uea_bind) uea_boot kthread_run(uea_kthread) uea_kthread usbatm_atm_init uea_start_reset atm_dev_register UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL UPDATE_ATM_SIGNAL checks whether the ATM device has been created and if not, will not update the PHY signal state. Because of the race that does not always happen in time, and the PHY signal state remains ATM_PHY_SIG_FOUND even though no signal exists. To fix the race, just create the kthread during initialization, and only after initialization is complete, start the thread that reboots the device and initializes PHY state.

README
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources: * This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview. ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has more information. * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes. The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9". * Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters. * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team. Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in them. core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd"). host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might be used with more specialized "embedded" systems. gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and the various gadget drivers which talk to them. Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into. image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or digital cameras. ../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem, like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc. ../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras, radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l subsystem. ../net/ - This is for network drivers. serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers. storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers. class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit into any of the above categories, and work for a range of USB Class specified devices. misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit into any of the above categories.
