Subject: Re: [Bugme-new] [Bug 12768] New: usb_alloc_urb() leaks memory 	together with uvcvideo driver
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 08:44:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49A4F6C0.5060503@freemail.hu> (raw)

Please, please, please, can we concentrate on the subject?

What I did with the other out-of-tree em28xx-new driver was that
I printed out the urb->kref.refcount before and after each urb operation.

The result was that when the urb->complete function is called, the reference
count was still 2, instead of 1.

I could imagine three possible errors:
1. there is a bug in uvcvideo driver
2. there is a bug in v4l framework
3. there is a bug in usb subsystem

It would be good if someone who have a deeper knowledge than me on these fields could
give some hints or debug patches which would lead us closer to the solution.

Regards,

	Márton Németh
