Description of problem: As soon as I stop using my webcam, I get the kernel panic below This has been happening with kernel builds 3.3-* Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.3.0-8.fc16.i686 How reproducible: Frequent, almost every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox, go to a webcam chat website, e.g. chatroulette or omegle, start a session. (note: Adobe Flash is a prerequisite for this method, don't know if there is any other way to reproduce the behavior) 2. At some point after video is working, close browser window/tab Actual results: kernel panic Expected results: browser window/tab closes normally, there's no user-visible error Additional info: [13535.035073] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd [13535.165568] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=076d [13535.165576] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [13535.165583] usb 1-3: Product: Microsoft\xffffffc2\xffffffae\xffffffae LifeCam HD-5000 [13535.165588] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: Microsoft [13535.374365] Linux media interface: v0.10 [13535.385083] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [13536.504215] ALSA sound/usb/clock.c:236 2:3:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x82 [13536.505760] ALSA sound/usb/mixer.c:846 5:2: cannot get min/max values for control 2 (id 5) [13536.506651] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio [13536.507627] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Microsoft\xffffffc2\xffffffae\xffffffae LifeCam HD-5000 (045e:076d) [13536.514088] input: Microsoft\xffffffc2\xffffffae\xffffffae LifeCam HD-5000 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/input/input9 [13536.515392] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo [13536.515399] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1) [13537.755220] ALSA sound/usb/clock.c:236 2:3:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x82 [13538.883229] ALSA sound/usb/clock.c:236 2:3:1: cannot get freq at ep 0x82 [13974.573067] ALSA sound/core/pcm_lib.c:1852 capture write error (DMA or IRQ trouble?)
