I would attack this problem form slightly different angle though, i.e. I would make sure __s5k6aa_get_crop_rect() always returns valid pointer. There is similar issue in s5k6aa_set_crop(). Since crop->which is already validated in drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-subdev.c and can have only values: V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY, V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE it's safe to do something like: 8<------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From 724aa5f1fefcaca2dee4f75ba960a1f620400e1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sylwester Nawrocki <sylvester.nawrocki@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:53:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] s5k6aa: Fix potential null pointer dereference Make sure __s5k6aa_get_crop_rect() always returns valid pointer, as it is assumed at the callers. crop->which is already validated when subdev set_crop and get_crop callbacks are called from within the v4l2-core. If it ever happens the crop operations are called directly for some reason in kernel space, with incorrect crop->which argument, just log it with WARN and return reference to the TRY crop.
