I think I've explained before how this should be fixed at the V4L2 level. The problem actually affects character devices globally, and Greg KH said he would have a go at fixing it there, but I don't think much happened. Starting with a V4L2-level fix is fine with me. There are a few patches in the series that are specific to uvcvideo, I'll have another look and merge those. > On Wed, Sep 16, 2020 at 07:25:42PM -0700, Guenter Roeck wrote: > > 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.
