This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: uvcvideo: Enforce alignment of frame and interval to the 4.19-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-uvcvideo-enforce-alignment-of-frame-and-interv.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f3cbdc2d26c72a327600530ae0c3d31129527ee7 Author: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 4 17:56:18 2024 +0000 media: uvcvideo: Enforce alignment of frame and interval [ Upstream commit c8931ef55bd325052ec496f242aea7f6de47dc9c ] Struct uvc_frame and interval (u32*) are packaged together on streaming->formats on a single contiguous allocation. Right now they are allocated right after uvc_format, without taking into consideration their required alignment. This is working fine because both structures have a field with a pointer, but it will stop working when the sizeof() of any of those structs is not a multiple of the sizeof(void*). Enforce that alignment during the allocation.
