As I mentioned, if the status is updated to missed isoc, that means that
the controller returned ownership of the TRB to the driver. At least for
the particular request with -EXDEV, its TRBs are completed. I'm not
clear on your conclusion.

Do we know where did the crash occur? Is it from dwc3 driver or from uvc
driver, and at what line? It'd great if we can see the driver log.

Actually, minor correction here: a recent change
b44c0e7fef51 ("usb: dwc3: gadget: conditionally remove requests")
changed -ESHUTDOWN request status to -ECONNRESET when disable endpoint.
This doesn't look right.

While disabling endpoint may also apply for other cases such as
switching alternate interface in addition to disconnect, -ESHUTDOWN
seems more fitting there.

Hi Michael,

Can you help clarify for the change above? This changed the usage of
requests. Now requests returned by disconnection won't be returned as
-ESHUTDOWN.

Yes, it's being handled there.
