Bad kfree of dma_parms in v5.7-rc5

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

 



Hi,

Commit 9495b7e92f716ab2bd6814fab5e97ab4a39adfdd ("driver core: platform: Initialize dma_parms for platform devices") v5.7-rc5 causes at least some v4l2 platform drivers to break when freeing resources.

E.g. drivers/media/platform/ti-vpe/cal.c uses vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() and vb2_dma_contig_clear_max_seg_size() to manage the dma_params, and similar pattern is seen in other drivers too.

After 9495b7e92f716ab2, vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() will not allocate anything, but vb2_dma_contig_clear_max_seg_size() will still kfree the dma_params.

I'm not sure what's the proper fix here. A flag somewhere to indicate that vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() did allocate, and thus vb2_dma_contig_clear_max_seg_size() must free?

Or drop the kzalloc and kfree totally, if dma_params is now supposed to always be there?

Or revert 9495b7e92f716ab2, as it was added so late?
