Subject: [PATCH] media: microchip-csi2dc: fix async notifier leak on probe error path
Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2026 16:07:29 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260808090729.2680734-1-congnt264@gmail.com> (raw)
csi2dc_of_parse() ends up calling csi2dc_prepare_notifier(), which
registers the V4L2 async notifier with v4l2_async_nf_register(). The
probe error label csi2dc_probe_cleanup_notifier is reached after
csi2dc_of_parse() has already succeeded (e.g. when media entity init,
csi2dc_power() or v4l2_async_register_subdev() fail), but it calls only
v4l2_async_nf_cleanup() and never v4l2_async_nf_unregister().
The notifier therefore stays chained in the global notifier_list while
the enclosing struct csi2dc_device 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 csi2dc_remove().
