Subject: [PATCH v3] media: uvcvideo: defer cancelled buffer completion until copies finish
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 22:46:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917144630.16923-1-huhb04@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903131141.6368-1-huhb1@xiaopeng.com>
uvc_queue_cancel() returns queued buffers to videobuf2 directly via
vb2_buffer_done(). This is unsafe because asynchronous memcpy workers may
still hold a reference on the same uvc_buffer. Once vb2_buffer_done() has
run, userspace can dequeue and requeue the buffer while the old worker is
still running, leading to the same list_head being inserted into irqqueue
twice and corrupting the list.
The crash manifests in two ways depending on the drop-corrupted-frames
module parameter:
1. With the default (drop corrupted frames enabled), the old worker's
final kref_put reaches uvc_queue_buffer_complete(), sees buf->error set,
and calls uvc_queue_buffer_requeue(). This performs list_add_tail() on
buf->queue even though userspace has already QBUF'd the same buffer and
added it to irqqueue.
2. With nodrop=1, uvc_queue_buffer_complete() calls vb2_buffer_done() a
second time. If userspace has already dequeued and requeued the buffer,
the second completion exposes it to userspace again, and the next
DQBUF/QBUF inserts the still-linked list_head into irqqueue a second
time.
Both cases produce the kind of list_del corruption seen here:
list_del corruption. next->prev should be ..., but was ...
kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:64!
Fix the cancel path to remove buffers from irqqueue and drop the queue's
reference through uvc_queue_buffer_release() (i.e. kref_put()). The final
VB2 completion then only happens from uvc_queue_buffer_complete() once the
last async reference is released, so userspace cannot reuse the buffer
while an old worker still accesses it.
Introduce a dedicated bool cancelled flag in struct uvc_buffer,this keeps
the cancellation semantics explicit regardless of any later state updates
from the packet decoder.
Cancelled buffers are forced to complete as errors; normal malformed frames
continue to be requeued or dropped as before.

v3:
- invoke uvc_queue_buffer_release() while holding the spinlock to keep it simple
- Set/clear the new cancelled flag in uvc_queue_cancel() and
uvc_buffer_prepare() instead of overloading buf->state.
- Force cancelled buffers to complete as errors,
so the returned buff->state is UVC_BUF_STATE_ERROR.
