That's fine. I've additionally CC'ed the linux-media mailing list.

When the device is disconnected the USB host controller driver is supposed to 
disable all endpoints, resulting in the URB completion handler 
uvc_video_complete() being called with the status set to -ESHUTDOWN. The 
driver will then call uvc_queue_cancel() to return all queued buffers to 
userspace. VIDIOC_DQBUF should then wake up and return.

>From the above link I assume you use an RPi kernel. The RPi USB host 
controller driver is known to be pretty unstable and buggy (at least the last 
time I checked) so it might not handle device disconnection properly.

The first step to debug this would be to check whether uvc_video_complete() 
gets called with a URB error status when you disconnect the device.
