media: uvcvideo: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure

2026-01-22T07:18:50Z

Return buffers if streaming fails to start due to uvc_pm_get() error. This bug may be responsible for a warning I got running while :; do yavta -c3 /dev/video0; done on an xHCI controller which failed under this workload. I had no luck reproducing this warning again to confirm. xhci_hcd 0000:09:00.0: HC died; cleaning up usb 13-2: USB disconnect, device number 2 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 29386 at drivers/media/common/videobuf2/videobuf2-core.c:1803 vb2_start_streaming+0xac/0x120 Fixes: 7dd56c47784a ("media: uvcvideo: Remove stream->is_streaming field") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michal Pecio Reviewed-by: Ricardo Ribalda Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251015133642.3dede646.michal.pecio@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil

Revert "media: uvcvideo: Remove nodrop parameter"

2026-01-13T13:59:59Z

This reverts commit 27ccc44a511b0cd76dc607e2a4893b876192ee1b. A user has reported that the Zoom Video Conferencing tool is not capable of handling invalid frames. Due to this, he has to continue using this parameter. We will keep working with Zoom so they can handle invalid frames correctly, but for this cycle the safest option is to revert this parameter drop.

media: uvcvideo: Remove nodrop parameter

2026-01-05T11:21:21Z

We announced the deprecation intentions one year ago in the commit commit 40ed9e9b2808 ("media: uvcvideo: Announce the user our deprecation intentions"). We have not hear any complains, lets remove the nodrop parameter.

media: uvcvideo: Remove stream->is_streaming field

2025-07-11T17:27:28Z

The is_streaming field is used by modular PM to know if the device is currently streaming or not. With the transition to vb2 and fop helpers, we can use vb2 functions for the same functionality. The great benefit is that vb2 already tracks the streaming state for us.

media: uvcvideo: Split uvc_stop_streaming()

2025-07-11T17:27:27Z

uvc_stop_streaming() is used for meta and video nodes. Split the function in two to avoid confusion. Use this opportunity to rename uvc_start_streaming() to uvc_start_streaming_video(), as it is only called by the video nodes.

media: uvcvideo: Handle locks in uvc_queue_return_buffers

2025-07-11T17:27:27Z

Most of the calls to uvc_queue_return_buffers() wrap the call with spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq(). Rename uvc_queue_return_buffers to __uvc_queue_return_buffers to indicate that this is the version that does not handle locks and create a new version of the function that handles the lock.

media: uvcvideo: Use vb2 ioctl and fop helpers

2025-07-11T17:27:27Z

When uvc was written the vb2 ioctl and file operation helpers didn't exist. This patch switches uvc over to those helpers, which removes a lot of boilerplate code and allows us to drop the 'privileges' scheme, since that's now handled inside the vb2 helpers. This makes it possible for uvc to fix the v4l2-compliance streaming tests: warn: v4l2-test-formats.cpp(1075): Could not set fmt2 This patch introduces a change on behavior on the uvcdriver to be aligned with the rest of the subsystem. Now S_INPUT, S_PARM and S_FORMAT do no grant exclusive ownership of the device. There are other side effects, some better than others: - Locking is now more coarse than before, the queue is locked for almost every ioctl. - vidioc_querybuf() can now work when the queue is busy. Future patches should look into the locking architecture of UVC to remove one of stream->mutex or queue->mutex.

media: uvcvideo: Allow changing noparam on the fly

2024-12-19T14:44:43Z

Right now the parameter value is read during video_registration and cannot be changed afterwards, despite its permissions 0644, that makes the user believe that the value can be written. The parameter only affects the behaviour of uvc_queue_buffer_complete(), with only one check per buffer. We can read the value directly from uvc_queue_buffer_complete() and therefore allowing changing it with sysfs on the fly.

media: usb: drop vb2_ops_wait_prepare/finish

2024-10-28T08:19:56Z

Since commit 88785982a19d ("media: vb2: use lock if wait_prepare/finish are NULL") it is no longer needed to set the wait_prepare/finish vb2_ops callbacks as long as the lock field in vb2_queue is set. Since the vb2_ops_wait_prepare/finish callbacks already rely on that field, we can safely drop these callbacks. This simplifies the code and this is a step towards the goal of deleting these callbacks. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil
