Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] media: chips-media: wave5: Handle polling IRQ thread failure
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 08:27:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110132647.1725405-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107051848-failed-6.12-1d563e3d718a@kernel.org>
From: Linmao Li <lilinmao@kylinos.cn>
[ Upstream commit 1d563e3d718a1c7c16355843374fbdd4c798ac66 ]
When falling back to polling mode, wave5_vpu_probe() does not check the
return value of kthread_run(). On failure, dev->irq_thread holds an
error pointer instead of a valid task pointer.
Both the probe error path and the remove path only check
dev->irq_thread against NULL before calling kthread_stop() on it, so an
error pointer passes the check and kthread_stop() crashes on it.
Check the kthread_run() result, clear dev->irq_thread and unwind the
probe on failure.
