These patches are not applying on gregkh/usb-testing since
Greg did take my patches first. I have already rebased them.

I think they got merged too soon :-( We could fix things on top, but
there's very little time to do so for v6.7.

Agreed. I was jumping from one workaround to another one, since this
is not easy to fix in a proper way. And still after this long discussion
with Avichal I don't think we are there yet.


So far the first two patches from Avichal look legit. But the overall
Use-After-Free fix is yet to be done properly.

The "abondoned" method he suggested is really bad to follow and will
add too much complexity and will be hard to debug.

IMHO it should be possible to introduce two cleanup pathes.

One path would be in the uvc_cleanup_requests that will cleanup the
requests that are actually not used in the controller and are registered
in the req_free list.

The second path would be the complete functions that are being run
from the controller and will ensure that the cleanup will really free
the requests from the controller after they were consumed.

What do you think?

Michael

In the updated version I the stack runs into the
following error, when enabling lockdep. Could you
try your version with lockdep enabled?
