[PATCH 2/2] [media] uvcvideo: Kill video URBs on disconnect

From: Daniel Axtens
Date: Mon Apr 17 2017 - 04:53:49 EST


When an in-use webcam is disconnected, I noticed the following
messages:

uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-19).

-19 is -ENODEV, which does make sense given that the device has
disappeared.

We could put a case for -ENODEV like we have with -ENOENT, -ECONNRESET
and -ESHUTDOWN, but the usb_unlink_urb() API documentation says that
'The disconnect function should synchronize with a driver's I/O
routines to insure that all URB-related activity has completed before
it returns.' So we should make an effort to proactively kill URBs in
the disconnect path instead.

Call uvc_enable_video() (specifying 0 to disable) in the disconnect
path, which kills and frees URBs.

Before this patch, yavta -c hangs when a camera is disconnected, but
with this patch it exits immediately after the camera is
disconnected. I'm not sure if this is acceptable - Laurent?
