Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] media: sun4i-csi: fix probe/streaming lifecycle bugs
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:25:18 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810062521.1709379-1-congnt264@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1786184456.git.congnt264@gmail.com>
This series fixes three independent, pre-existing lifecycle bugs in the
sun4i-csi driver, all present since the driver was added (577bbf23b758):
1/3 - notify_complete() left the video device and bridge subdev
registered if a later step failed, so /dev/videoX stayed live over
the freed devm context.
2/3 - the frame-done interrupt was never disabled on the stop path, so a
late IRQ could touch a gated block after runtime suspend.
3/3 - the async notifier had no .unbind, so the cached source subdev
pointer dangled after the sensor unbound.
Changes in v2:
- 2/3: read CSI_INT_EN_REG back after disabling it to flush the posted
write before synchronize_irq() (Sashiko AI review).
- 2/3: apply the same interrupt teardown to the start_streaming() error
path (err_disable_device), which had the identical defect - the IRQ is
enabled and capture started before the s_stream call that can fail.
Both paths now share a new sun4i_csi_disable_irq() helper.
- 3/3: only clear csi->src_subdev in .unbind; drop the
vb2_video_unregister_device() call. Since notify_complete() registers
the video device, unregistering it on unbind would make it re-register
an already-unregistered embedded video_device on a subsequent re-bind.
Clearing the cached pointer alone prevents the use-after-free.
- No functional changes to 1/3.
Two further pre-existing issues raised in review are not addressed here, as
they are out of scope for these fixes: the embedded video_device using
video_device_release_empty in a devm-allocated struct (a broader lifetime
rework), and notify_complete() not being re-bind safe (it re-registers the
bridge subdev, which needs a larger restructuring of the notifier flow).
