This actually smells very much like an race between hardware and
software, that is probably working on the same memory. I would guess
that the hardware in the non interrupt case is currently processing
queued memory, while at the same time the software stack will update
that same memory with new data.
In my opinion this should be fixed, rather then making the interrupt
load optional. Also we could discuss if an option to adjust the load
adds some extra value, but out of this issue scope you describe here.
Also, is this issue also being more likely to happen when streaming YUYV?

I did not stream with YUYV for some time. I will do that and try to
reproduce the issues you describe.
I also have an patch in the queue that will limit the sg support for
devices with speed > HIGH_SPEED. Because of the overhead of the limited
transfer payload of 1024*3 Bytes, it is possible that a simple memcpy
will actually be fast enough. But for that patch I still have to make
proper measurements. Btw. which USB speed are you transferring with?
Regards,
Michael
