No. The array is defined as struct vimc_ent_device *ved_pipeline[VIMC_STREAMER_PIPELINE_MAX_SIZE]; change to <= will cause it to overflow. I could change it to: struct vimc_ent_device *ved_pipeline[VIMC_STREAMER_PIPELINE_MAX_SIZE+1]; if you think it's easier to understand. > > + if (!stream->ved_pipeline[stream->pipe_size-1]) > > + return 0; > > You can check if it is NULL before assigning it (please see below), so > you won't need this check here. > > > + entity = stream->ved_pipeline[stream->pipe_size-1]->ent; > > + entity = vimc_get_source_entity(entity); > > + if (!entity) > > + return 0; > > This is already kind of doing the above check for you in the previous > iteration. > > > + if (is_media_entity_v4l2_subdev(entity)) { > > + sd = media_entity_to_v4l2_subdev(entity); > > + ret = v4l2_subdev_call(sd, video, s_stream, 1); > > + if (ret && ret != -ENOIOCTLCMD) > > + break; > > + source_ved = v4l2_get_subdevdata(sd); > > + } else { > > + vdev = container_of(entity, > > + struct video_device, > > + entity); > > + source_ved = video_get_drvdata(vdev); > > + } > > + > > source_ved should never be NULL, otherwise its is a bug in one of the > submodules. > > I think you could the following check (in case we don't trust the > submodules): > if (!source_ved) > break; > > before incrementing the pipe_size. > > which means that stream->ved_pipeline[] from [0] to > [stream->pipe_size-1] will never be NULL.
