Subject: [PATCH] media: s5p-g2d: avoid double free on video register failure
Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 19:46:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260517114642.951949-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)

g2d_probe() allocates a video_device with video_device_alloc() and
releases it from the rel_vdev error path if video_register_device()
fails.

This can double free the video_device when __video_register_device()
reaches device_register() and that call fails:

  video_register_device()
    -> __video_register_device()
       -> device_register() fails
          -> put_device(&vdev->dev)
             -> v4l2_device_release()
                -> vdev->release(vdev)
                   -> video_device_release(vdev)

  g2d_probe()
    -> rel_vdev
       -> video_device_release(vfd)

Use video_device_release_empty() while registering the device so that
registration failure paths do not free vfd through vdev->release().
g2d_probe() then releases vfd exactly once from rel_vdev. Restore
video_device_release() after successful registration so the registered
device keeps its normal lifetime handling.

This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing.
