On page unaligned frames, create_framevec forces get_vaddr_frames to allocate an extra page at the end of the buffer. Under some circumstances, this leads to -EINVAL on VIDIOC_QBUF. E.g: We have vm_a that vm_area that goes from 0x1000 to 0x3000. And a frame that goes from 0x1800 to 0x2800, i.e. 2 pages. frame_vector_create will be called with the following params: get_vaddr_frames(0x1800, 2, write, 1, vec); get_vaddr will allocate the first page after checking that the memory 0x1800-0x27ff is valid, but it will not allocate the second page because the range 0x2800-0x37ff is out of the vm_a range. This results in create_framevec returning -EFAULT Error Trace: [ 9083.793015] video0: VIDIOC_QBUF: 00:00:00.00000000 index=1, type=vid-cap, flags=0x00002002, field=any, sequence=0, memory=userptr, bytesused=0, offset/userptr=0x7ff2b023ca80, length=5765760 [ 9083.793028] timecode=00:00:00 type=0, flags=0x00000000, frames=0, userbits=0x00000000 [ 9083.793117] video0: VIDIOC_QBUF: error -22: 00:00:00.00000000 index=2, type=vid-cap, flags=0x00000000, field=any, sequence=0, memory=userptr, bytesused=0, offset/userptr=0x7ff2b07bc500, length=5765760 Also use true instead of 1 since that argument is a bool in the get_vaddr_frames() prototype.
