This close() attempt cannot work the way it is implemented,
because the usb_inserted() check is asynchronous to the other
threads. Chances are >99% that the USB connection is already
accepted and disk control handed over to the USB bridge when
this code snippet runs.

If you want to implement it the proper way, you would have to
give the power thread an event queue. This would then require
the power thread to accept the USB connection, and it has the
chance to close the file before doing so. Of course introducing
an event queue then complicates the timing, because the thread
cannot simply sleep a determined amount of time.


Regards, Jens
