Subject: [PATCH] media: stm32-dcmi: fix async notifier leak on probe error path
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2026 16:05:41 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808090541.2674255-1-congnt264@gmail.com> (raw)

dcmi_graph_init() registers the V4L2 async notifier with
v4l2_async_nf_register(). The probe error label err_cleanup is reached
after dcmi_graph_init() has already succeeded (e.g. when the subsequent
reset_control_assert()/deassert() fails), but it calls only
v4l2_async_nf_cleanup() and never v4l2_async_nf_unregister().

The notifier therefore remains chained in the global notifier_list while
the enclosing struct stm32_dcmi is freed, leading to list corruption and
a use-after-free when the list is next walked.

Unregister the notifier before cleaning it up on the error path, matching
the teardown already done in dcmi_remove().
