Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

Isn't this still racy ?

CPU0					CPU1
====					====

uvc_status_stop()			uvc_ctrl_status_event_work()
{					{
						if (dev->flush_status)
							return;

	dev->flush_status = true;
	usb_kill_urb(dev->int_urb);

						/* Resubmit the URB. */
						w->urb->interval = dev->int_ep->desc.bInterval;
						ret = usb_submit_urb(w->urb, GFP_KERNEL);
					}

	if (cancel_work_sync(&w->work))
		uvc_ctrl_status_event(w->chain, w->ctrl, w->data);
}

uvc_status_start() will then return an error, right ?
