[PATCH] media: uvcvideo: Fix race condition with usb_kill_urb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



usb_kill_urb warranties that all the handlers are finished when it
returns, but does not protect against threads that might be handling
asynchronously the urb.

For UVC, the function uvc_ctrl_status_event_async() takes care of
control changes. If the code is executed in the following order:

CPU 0					CPU 1
===== 					=====
uvc_status_complete()
					uvc_status_stop()
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work()
					uvc_status_start() -> FAIL

Then uvc_status_start will keep failing and this error will be shown:

<4>[    5.540139] URB 0000000000000000 submitted while active
drivers/usb/core/urb.c:378 usb_submit_urb+0x4c3/0x528

Let's improve the current situation, by not re-submiting the urb if
there are no users on the system.

Also add a flag that is clear during stop, that will capture this
situation:

CPU 0					CPU 1
===== 					=====
uvc_status_complete()
					uvc_status_stop()
					uvc_status_start()
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work() -> FAIL

Hopefully, with the usb layer protection it should be enough to cover
all the cases.
