Subject: [PATCH] media: v4l2-ctrls-request: add NULL check in, v4l2_ctrl_request_complete()
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 23:28:31 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6a4bc954-17ec-4633-a4e2-72906e18c1ba@auroraos.dev> (raw)

If CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER is undefined, media_request_object_find() will
always return NULL, so its 2nd call in v4l2_ctrl_request_complete() would
fail as well as the 1st one and thus cause hdl to have a wrong value (at
the top of memory) and list_for_each_entry() to iterate over the garbage
data located there. Add NULL check for the 2nd call and place the error
cleanup at the end of v4l2_ctrl_request_complete()...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

Fixes: c3bf5129f339 ("media: v4l2-ctrls: always copy the controls on completion")
Signed-off-by: Sergey Shtylyov <s.shtylyov@auroraos.dev>
