Subject: [PATCH 0/5] media: uvcvideo: Fix race conditions
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2020 08:04:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200830150443.167286-1-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)

The uvcvideo code has no lock protection against USB disconnects
while video operations are ongoing. This has resulted in random
error reports, typically pointing to a crash in usb_ifnum_to_if(),
called from usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth(). A typical traceback is as
follows.

usb 1-4: USB disconnect, device number 3

While this is problem rarely observed in the field, it is relatively easy
to reproduce by adding msleep() calls into the code.

I don't presume to claim that I found every issue, but this patch series
should fix at least the major problems.

The patch series was tested exensively on a Chromebook running chromeos-4.19
and on a Linux system running a v5.8.y based kernel.
