From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx> When preparing a buffer the queue lock is released for a short while if the memory mode is USERPTR (see __buf_prepare for the details), which would allow a race with a REQBUFS which can free the buffers. Removing the buffers from underneath __buf_prepare is obviously a bad idea, so we check if any of the buffers is in the state PREPARING, and if so we just return -EAGAIN. If this happens, then the application does something really strange. The REQBUFS call can be retried safely, since this situation is transient.
