The value of `tpg->hue` was -20551. It came from the userspace, see the
"\xb9\xaf" on line 500 of the reproducer:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=14b49e71e00000

  NONFAILING(memcpy((void*)0x20000200, "/dev/video6\000\000", 13));
  res = syscall(__NR_openat, 0xffffffffffffff9cul, 0x20000200ul, 2ul, 0ul);
  if (res != -1)
    r[0] = res;
  NONFAILING(memcpy((void*)0x20000140,
                    "\x4d\x43\x66\x34\xfd\x89\xb9\xaf\x0d\x59\xa2\x83\x4c\xfd"
                     ^^^^    ^^^^    ^^^^    ^^^^^^^^
                    "\x3e\x64\x7c\x96\xcd\x59\xf2\x3a\x18\xa3\x81\x49\x22\xc0"
                    "\xc1\xbf\x02\xa5\x50\x5f\xcb\x48\x92\x0e\xf3\xdc\xff\x85"
                    "\xb7\x84\x21\xab\xef\x31\x3d\xb1\xb6\x5d\xbf\x07\x8e\xee"
                    "\x5e\x7c\x73\x32\xf4\x9d\x1e\x62\x6b\x6a\xa0\x74\x73\xe6"
                    "\xca\x1b\xdb\x7a\xca\x76\xd8\x37\xb8\xd9",
                    80));
  syscall(__NR_write, r[0], 0x20000140ul, 8ul);

I guess the root cause is a race condition in the vivid test driver,
which completely corrupted `tpg`. I see bytes like "\x4d", "\x66" and
"\xfd" around `tpg->hue`, too.

The reproducer does two things: the above write() on /dev/video6, and a
preadv() on /dev/video3:

  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000800 = 0x20000000);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000808 = 0x1f);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000810 = 0);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000818 = 0);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000820 = 0);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000828 = 0);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000830 = 0);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000838 = 0);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000840 = 0);
  NONFAILING(*(uint64_t*)0x20000848 = 0);
  syscall(__NR_preadv, r[1], 0x20000800ul, 5ul, 0ul);

I commented out this preadv(), then the reproducer didn't cause any
crash. Unfortunately I don't know the code well enough in order to
figure out exactly why...At this point of time I'd like to send you an
v2 as you suggested, it should work as a mitigation.

Thank you for the suggestion!
