I agree with Thomas here, subscribing to UVC_EVENT_SETUP means that the application is a UVC gadget application. It's a bit of a hack, but short of introducing a custom ioctl, I think it's a fairly good option. > >>>> I dug a bit more into this (I have very little gadget driver experience), > >>>> and isn't calling uvc_function_connect() something that should be done > >>>> on the first open?

The problem with connecting on first open is that any application querying the device (v4l_id from udev, pipewire as Thomas mentioned, ...) will generate spurious connect/disconnect events. This being said, the current code already suffers from the spurious connect/disconnect issue, so we could possibly fix the race condition first with a patch that calls uvc_function_connect() on the first open and uvc_function_disconnect() on last close, and then move the logic to event subscription in a separate patch.

I don't think this driver will ever be able to pass v4l2-compliance as it's not a typical V4L2 output device. It uses V4L2 as that was the best match for a userspace API, but custom ioctls and events are required to drive the device, and the userspace application needs to work hand-in-hand with the driver to respond to UVC requests originating from the host. No other V4L2 application will be able to use the device. This being said, the driver is indeed old, and I'm sure improvements are possible, but full v4l2-compliance isn't a reasonable goal. > >>>>>> This driver probably could use some TLC. > >>>>> > >>>>> I totally agree with that, however this change fixes at least one test > >>>>> of 'v4l2-compliance'. > >>>>> Currently a running UVC connection can be corrupted by another process > >>>>> which just opens and closes the device. > >>>>> > >>>>>>> + > >>>>>>> + return 0; > >>>>>>> +} > >>>>>>> + > >>>>>>> +static void uvc_v4l2_disable(struct uvc_device *uvc) > >>>>>>> +{ > >>>>>>> + if (--uvc->connections) > >>>>>>> + return; > >>>>>>> + > >>>>>>> + uvc_function_disconnect(uvc); > >>>>>>> + uvcg_video_enable(&uvc->video, 0); > >>>>>>> + uvcg_free_buffers(&uvc->video.queue); > >>>>>>> } > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>> static int > >>>>>>> uvc_v4l2_unsubscribe_event(struct v4l2_fh *fh, > >>>>>>> const struct v4l2_event_subscription *sub) > >>>>>>> { > >>>>>>> - return v4l2_event_unsubscribe(fh, sub); > >>>>>>> + struct uvc_device *uvc = video_get_drvdata(fh->vdev); > >>>>>>> + struct uvc_file_handle *handle = to_uvc_file_handle(fh); > >>>>>>> + int ret; > >>>>>>> + > >>>>>>> + ret = v4l2_event_unsubscribe(fh, sub); > >>>>>>> + if (ret < 0) > >>>>>>> + return ret; > >>>>>>> + > >>>>>>> + if ((sub->type == UVC_EVENT_SETUP) && handle->connected) { > >>>>>>> + uvc_v4l2_disable(uvc); > >>>>>>> + handle->connected = false; > >>>>>>> + } > >>>>>>> + > >>>>>>> + return 0; > >>>>>>> } > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>> static long > >>>>>>> @@ -293,7 +333,6 @@ uvc_v4l2_open(struct file *file) > >>>>>>> handle->device = &uvc->video; > >>>>>>> file->private_data = &handle->vfh; > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>> - uvc_function_connect(uvc); > >>>>>>> return 0; > >>>>>>> } > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>> @@ -303,14 +342,11 @@ uvc_v4l2_release(struct file *file) > >>>>>>> struct video_device *vdev = video_devdata(file); > >>>>>>> struct uvc_device *uvc = video_get_drvdata(vdev); > >>>>>>> struct uvc_file_handle *handle = to_uvc_file_handle(file->private_data); > >>>>>>> - struct uvc_video *video = handle->device; > >>>>>>> - > >>>>>>> - uvc_function_disconnect(uvc); > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>> - mutex_lock(&video->mutex); > >>>>>>> - uvcg_video_enable(video, 0); > >>>>>>> - uvcg_free_buffers(&video->queue); > >>>>>>> - mutex_unlock(&video->mutex); > >>>>>>> + mutex_lock(&uvc->video.mutex); > >>>>>>> + if (handle->connected) > >>>>>>> + uvc_v4l2_disable(uvc); > >>>>>>> + mutex_unlock(&uvc->video.mutex); > >>>>>>> > >>>>>>> file->private_data = NULL; > >>>>>>> v4l2_fh_del(&handle->vfh); -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
