Yes, you are right, The presentational errors in order to obtain an understanding of the process.

NO, It 's only depend on vold(scsi) release time.
If the vold later released and is being released first hcd,
Double free happened at <5> as below.

When people present diagrams like this, the universal convention is to 
show earlier times at the top and later times at the bottom.  That way 
the order in which you read the diagram is the same as the order in 
which the events are supposed to occur.

Also, the convention is to put events next to each other if they happen 
at the same time.  In your diagram, <1> and <3> are next to each other 
but they don't happen at the same time.

That's the same as what I said.  In your diagram, vold releases the 
shared_hcd (in <5>) after dwc3_otg_sm_work releases the primary_hcd 
(in <4>).

If you change the code so that the shared_hcd takes a reference to the 
primary_hcd and drops that reference when the shared_hcd is released, 
this will never occur.
