there are several ways how you can deal with that, one way would be
that you set up the framebuffers again for a different framesize using
VIDIOC_S_FMT.

While doing that setup the mode needs to be switched on the device
depending on the device. When doing so you might bring it into an
unstable state if you just change it while the isoc or bulk transfers
are still running in the background.

http://www.thedirks.org/v4l2/v4l2dev.htm
"The size of the buffers often depends on the format of the data. For
example, the size of capture buffers is determined by the capture
image format set by the VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl."

Hope this clears up your questions, if not let me know.

you very likely have a bad pointer in your driver, if you can publish
the code somewhere someone could have a look.
