Subject: [patch 11/14] V4L: bttv: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in radio_open
Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2008 11:57:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081018185738.GL17196@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081018185658.GA17196@suse.de>

[-- Attachment #1: v4l-bttv-prevent-null-pointer-dereference-in-radio_open.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1500 bytes --]

2.6.25-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

cherry picked from commit c37396c19403e249f12626187d51e92c915f2bc9

Fix the following crash in the bttv driver:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000036c
IP: [<ffffffffa037860a>] radio_open+0x3a/0x170 [bttv]

This happens because radio_open assumes that all present bttv devices
have a radio function. If a bttv device without radio and one with
radio are installed on the same system, and the one without radio is
registered first, then radio_open checks for the radio device number
of a bttv device that has no radio function, and this breaks. All we
have to do to fix it is to skip bttv devices without a radio function.
