This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference bug at __vb2_init_fileio(). The NULL pointer deference happens at videobuf2-core.c: static size_t __vb2_perform_fileio(struct vb2_queue *q, char __user *data, size_t count, loff_t *ppos, int nonblock, int read) { ... if (!q->fileio) { ret = __vb2_init_fileio(q, read); dprintk(3, "file io: vb2_init_fileio result: %d\n", ret); if (ret) return ret; } fileio = q->fileio; // NULL pointer deference here ... } It was tested with vivi driver and qv4l2 for selecting read() as capture method. The OOPS happened when I've artificially forced the error by commenting the line: if (fileio->bufs[i].vaddr == NULL) But it was fixed after applying this patch.
