Add safety checks to prevent kernel panic during the race window in

Can you share the kernel version that you are using?
The kernel version I'm using is 5.4.18

This patch

Should prevent the race that you are describing.


In your trace you have a reference to uvc_queue_streamoff that was
deleted by that patch

This patch may indeed eliminate the problem I described.

The 5.4 longterm version should not have synchronized this patch?


Thanks,
