SubjectRe: [RFT PATCH v3 6/6] uvcvideo: Move decode processing to process context

Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

As discussed today I believe you'll rework this part so I won't comment on it.

Maybe uvc_video_copy_data() as the function doesn't copy the full packets but
the data only ?

s/safe/safe./

Could you explain what safe work means ?

How about "If no async work is needed, resubmit the URB immediately." ?

Shouldn't you call destroy_workqueue() somewhere ?

Can the length be negative ?
