media: staging/imx: Improve pipeline searching
The issue is in drivers/staging/media/imx/imx-media-utils.c in function
find_pipeline_entity:
struct media_pad *pad = NULL;
pad is assigned a NULL
struct video_device *vfd;
struct v4l2_subdev *sd;
if (grp_id && is_media_entity_v4l2_subdev(start)) {
sd = media_entity_to_v4l2_subdev(start);
if (sd->grp_id & grp_id)
return &sd->entity;
} else if (buftype && is_media_entity_v4l2_video_device(start)) {
vfd = media_entity_to_video_device(pad->entity);
..and above the null pad is being dereferenced causing a kernel oops.
yes, this is a typo and should be:
vfd = media_entity_to_video_device(start);
Sending a patch...
Steve
