Subject: [PATCH] media: allegro: Fix use after free on error
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2020 14:54:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <X9dShwq8PrThDpn9@mwanda> (raw)

The "channel" is added to the "dev->channels" but then if
v4l2_m2m_ctx_init() fails then we free "channel" but it's still on the
list so it could lead to a use after free.  Let's not add it to the
list until after v4l2_m2m_ctx_init() succeeds.

Fixes: cc62c74749a3 ("media: allegro: add missed checks in allegro_open()")
