Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] media: meson: vdec: Protect session exclusivity check with lock
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 15:21:50 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525095216.12078-3-linux.amoon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525095216.12078-1-linux.amoon@gmail.com>

Add the check for an active hardware session is performed without holding
the core->lock mutex. In multi-threaded environments, two concurrent
STREAMON ioctls on different file descriptors can simultaneously find
core->cur_sess to be NULL, bypass the check, and concurrently call
vdec_poweron(), corrupting hardware state.

Fix this by wrapping the session exclusivity check inside core->lock.

Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260521090944.F35401F00A3D@smtp.kernel.org/
Fixes: 3e7f51bd9607 ("media: meson: add v4l2 m2m video decoder driver")

v5: New patch.
[High] Concurrent sessions can bypass the hardware exclusivity check,
leading to simultaneous hardware programming.
