This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: rcar-csi2: Add checking to rcsi2_start_receiver() to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: media-rcar-csi2-add-checking-to-rcsi2_start_receiver.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4c7687d8718c5d49522f53babe164b84e8219ae3 Author: Nadezda Lutovinova <lutovinova@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 11 19:18:16 2021 +0200 media: rcar-csi2: Add checking to rcsi2_start_receiver() [ Upstream commit fc41665498332ad394b7db37f23e9394096ddc71 ] If rcsi2_code_to_fmt() return NULL, then null pointer dereference occurs in the next cycle. That should not be possible now but adding checking protects from future bugs. The patch adds checking if format is NULL. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
