Hi,
Every time I plug in a UVC camera, a media controller node is created at
/dev/media<N>.
In Ubuntu 17.10, running kernel 4.13.0-43, the media controller device
node is removed when the UVC camera is unplugged.
In Ubuntu 18.10, running kernel 4.15.0-22, the media controller device
node is not removed. For every time I plug the device, a new device node
with incremented minor number is created, leaving me with a growing list
of media controller device nodes. If I repeat for long enough, I get the
following error:
"media: could not get a free minor"
I also tried building a kernel from mainline, with the same result.
I'm running on x86_64.
