[PATCH] media: go7007: return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure
From: YuanZhe Liu
Date: Fri Oct 16 2026 - 06:22:51 EST
The vb2 framework hands ownership of every queued buffer to the driver
through the buf_queue() callback before start_streaming() is called. If
start_streaming() then returns an error, the driver must return those
buffers to vb2 with vb2_buffer_done() and VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED.
Otherwise vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and
forcibly reclaims the buffers.
go7007_start_streaming() returns -EIO when go7007_start_encoder() fails,
which happens for example when a USB transfer cannot be submitted because
the device has been disconnected:
go7007 1-1:1.0: error submitting audio urb 5: -2
go7007 1-1:1.0: error starting stream transfer
WARNING: drivers/media/common/videobuf2/videobuf2-core.c:1797 at vb2_start_streaming
but it leaves the already queued buffers on go->vidq_active. Give them
back to vb2 with VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED before bailing out, clearing
go->active_buf as well.
Fixes: 7955f03d18d1 ("[media] go7007: move out of staging into drivers/media/usb.")
