media_entity_pipeline_stop() can be called through error paths with a NULL entity pipe object. In this instance, stopping is a no-op, so simply return without any action Signed-off-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I've marked this patch as RFC, although if deemed suitable, by all means integrate it as is. When testing suspend/resume operations on VSP1, I encountered a segfault on the WARN_ON(!pipe->streaming_count) line, where 'pipe == NULL'. The simple protection fix is to return early in this instance, as this patch does however: A) Does this early return path warrant a WARN() statement itself, to identify drivers which are incorrectly calling media_entity_pipeline_stop() with an invalid entity, or would this just be noise ... and therefore.. B) I also partly assume this patch could simply get NAK'd with a request to go and dig out the root cause of calling media_entity_pipeline_stop() with an invalid entity. My brief investigation so far here so far shows that it's almost a second order fault - where the first suspend resume cycle completes but leaves the entity in an invalid state having followed an error path - and then on a second suspend/resume - the stop fails with the affected segfault. If statement A) or B) apply here, please drop this patch from the series, and don't consider it a blocking issue for the other 3 patches.
