[PATCH 2/2] usb: gadget: uvc: Remove nested locking

From: Avichal Rakesh
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 16:08:21 EST


When handling error status from uvcg_video_usb_req_queue,
uvc_video_complete currently calls uvcg_queue_cancel with
video->req_lock held. uvcg_queue_cancel internally locks
queue->irqlock, which nests queue->irqlock inside
video->req_lock. This isn't a functional bug at the
moment, but does open up possibilities for ABBA
deadlocks in the future.

This patch fixes the accidental nesting by dropping
video->req_lock before calling uvcg_queue_cancel.
