Would it make sense to serialise access to request state using the queue
lock instead? The queue and the state are often accessed together.

The function itself seems weird. The VB2 framework does not have enough
information to determine whether a request is complete; this is something a
driver must evaluate at the time of queueing the request.

Queueing buffers to drivers this way hardly makes sense with requests. The
driver has no use for it, all it cares about is the request.

VB2 could manage its own state of the buffer this way but that's only
useful from V4L2 API point of view, it has no functional purpose. This
suggests we need an overhaul of the existing buffer management for
requests.

This is a perplexing one. Why would you not queue the request to the driver
at the time of... it is queued, by the user? The VB2 framework (nor the
media or V4L2 frameworks to that matter) does not have enough information
in order to help the driver here.

Why? This would mean you'll need to look up a request twice per IOCTL.
