When calling VIDIOC_REQBUFS v4l2-compliance fails with this message:
fail: v4l2-test-buffers.cpp(476): q.reqbufs(node, 1)
test VIDIOC_REQBUFS/CREATE_BUFS/QUERYBUF: FAIL
By looking at the v4l2-compliance code the failure happens when trying
to request V4L2_MEMORY_USERPTR buffers without freeing explicitly the
previously allocated V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP buffers.
This would suggest that when changing the memory field in struct
v4l2_requestbuffers the driver is supposed to free automatically any
previous allocated buffers, and looking for inspiration at the code in
drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-core.c::vb2_core_reqbufs() seems to
confirm this interpretation; however gspca is just returning -EBUSY in
this case.
Removing the special handling for the case of a different memory value
fixes the compliance failure.

This should be safe, but I'd really like a comment from someone with a more
global knowledge of v4l2.
If my interpretation about how drivers should behave when the value of the
memory field changes is correct, I could send also a documentation update for
Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l/vidioc-reqbufs.xml
Just let me know.
Thanks,
Antonio

reqbufs is used internally and this change will allow changing
gspca_dev->memory from USERPTR / MMAP to GSPCA_MEMORY_READ
please replace this check with a check to only allow
rb->memory to be GSPCA_MEMORY_READ when coming from GSPCA_MEMORY_NO
or GSPCA_MEMORY_READ
