I've never heard of such problems with the uvcvideo driver, and I don't see 
anything wrong with the code at first sight. The driver only submits URBs when 
starting the video capture (at that point no URB should be in flight) or in 
the URB completion handler (by definition the URB has completed then).

I've had a quick look at the trace posted at 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879462 but usbmon only shows URBs 
that are successfully submitted. I'm not sure what useful information I could 
get from the trace.
