This patch changes the function uvc_video_pump to be a separate scheduled worker. This way the completion handler of each usb request and every direct caller of the pump has only to schedule the worker instead of doing the request handling by itself. Moving the request handling to one thread solves the locking problems between the three queueing cases in the completion handler, v4l2_qbuf and video_enable. Many drivers handle the completion handlers directly in their interrupt handlers. This patch also reduces the workload on each interrupt.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
