Hans, Mauro, and other V4L2 maintainers:

The patch tested here (URL listed at the bottom of the syzbot message below) fixes a couple of bugs in the usbvision driver:

There are several races between the open, close, and disconnect routines (and also vidioc_querycap).

The driver unregisters its video and radio devices from sysfs in the usbvision_release() routine, not in usbvision_disconnect(). (This causes problems when userspace keeps the device open, because by the time the release routine runs, the relevant sysfs directories have already been removed -- drivers in general need to unregister things in their disconnect handlers.)

However, as report below shows, fixing those bugs has revealed an apparent problem involving reference counting in the V4L2 core. I don't understand much about this subsystem, so maybe you can explain what's going wrong.

The usbvision driver deallocates its private data structure when a disconnect has occurred and the radio/video device files are closed. But in this bug report, the v4l2_release() routine tries to access the embedded v4l2_device (via video_put) after the structure has been freed.

Clearly something is wrong, and I can't tell how this is all intended to work. Is the deallocation supposed to occur at a later time?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hello,
