Hi,

you made me look at cdc-acm. I suspect

cae2bc768d176bfbdad7035bbcc3cdc973eb7984 ("usb: cdc-acm: Decrement tty port's refcount if probe() fail")

is buggy decrementing the refcount on the interface in destroy()
even before the refcount is increased.

Unfortunately I cannot tell from the bug report how many and which
interfaces the emulated test device has. Hence it is unclear to me,
when exactly probe() would fail cdc-acm.

If you agree. I am attaching a putative fix.

	Regards
		Oliver

Subject: [PATCH] usb: cdc-acm: make sure a refcount is taken early enough

destroy() will decrement the refcount on the interface, so that
it needs to be taken so early that it never undercounts.
