[PATCH 3/3] [media] s5p-mfc: Fix race between s5p_mfc_probe() and s5p_mfc_open()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The s5p_mfc_probe() function registers the video devices before all the
resources needed by s5p_mfc_open() are correctly initalized.

So if s5p_mfc_open() function is called before s5p_mfc_probe() finishes
(since the video dev is already registered), a NULL pointer dereference
will happen due s5p_mfc_open() accessing uninitialized vars such as the
struct s5p_mfc_dev .watchdog_timer and .mfc_ops fields.

An example is following BUG caused by add_timer() getting a NULL pointer:

[   45.765374] kernel BUG at kernel/time/timer.c:790!

[   45.766655] Code: eaffffe3 e3a00001 e28dd008 e8bd81f0 (e7f001f2)

Fix it by registering the video devs as the last step in s5p_mfc_probe().
