There is a path that may lead to freed memory being referenced, causing kernel panics. The kernel panic has the following stack trace: Workqueue: uvcgadget uvcg_video_pump.c51fb85fece46625450f86adbf92c56c.cfi_jt pstate: 60c00085 (nZCv daIf +PAN +UAO -TCO BTYPE=--) pc : __list_del_entry_valid+0xc0/0xd4 lr : __list_del_entry_valid+0xc0/0xd4 Call trace: __list_del_entry_valid+0xc0/0xd4 uvc_video_free_request+0x60/0x98 uvcg_video_pump+0x1cc/0x204 process_one_work+0x21c/0x4b8 worker_thread+0x29c/0x574 kthread+0x158/0x1b0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x30 The root cause is that uvcg_video_usb_req_queue frees the uvc_request if is_enabled is false and returns an error status. video_pump also frees the associated request if uvcg_video_usb_req_queue returns an error status, leading to double free and accessing garbage memory. To fix the issue, this patch removes freeing logic from uvcg_video_usb_req_queue, and lets the callers to the function handle queueing errors as they see fit.
