media: uvcvideo: Fix race condition with usb_kill_urb
usb_kill_urb warranties that all the handlers are finished when it returns, but does not protect against threads that might be handling asynchronously the urb. For UVC, the function uvc_ctrl_status_event_async() takes care of control changes asynchronously. If the code is executed in the following order: CPU 0 CPU 1 ===== ===== uvc_status_complete() uvc_status_stop() uvc_ctrl_status_event_work() uvc_status_start() -> FAIL Then uvc_status_start will keep failing and this error will be shown: <4>[ 5.540139] URB 0000000000000000 submitted while active drivers/usb/core/urb.c:378 usb_submit_urb+0x4c3/0x528 Let's improve the current situation, by not re-submiting the urb if we are stopping the status event. Also process the queued work (if any) during stop. CPU 0 CPU 1 ===== ===== uvc_status_complete() uvc_status_stop() uvc_status_start() uvc_ctrl_status_event_work() -> FAIL Hopefully, with the usb layer protection this should be enough to cover all the cases.
