Something seems to have gone wrong with v3 of this patch series.
I am sure I sent it out, but I don't find it anywhere.
Resending. Sorry for any duplicates.
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 there are not many references to this problem on mailing lists, it is
reported on a regular basis on various Chromebooks (roughly 300 reports
per month). The problem is relatively easy to reproduce by adding msleep()
calls into the code.
I tried to reproduce the problem with non-uvcvideo webcams, but was
unsuccessful. I was unable to get Philips (pwc) webcams to work. gspca
based webcams don't experience the problem, or at least I was unable to
reproduce it (The gspa driver does not trigger sending USB messages in the
open function, and otherwise uses the locking mechanism provided by the
v4l2/vb2 core).
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.
v3:
- In patch 5/5, add missing calls to usb_autopm_put_interface() and kfree()
to failure code path
v2:
- Added details about problem frequency and testing with non-uvc webcams
to summary
- In patch 4/5, return EPOLLERR instead of -ENODEV on poll errors
- Fix description in patch 5/5
