Subject: [PATCH] media: malic55: Fix possible ERR_PTR deference in enable_streams
Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2026 12:18:22 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260207091822.601255-1-alperyasinak1@gmail.com> (raw)
The media_pad_remote_pad_unique() function returns either a valid
pointer or an ERR_PTR() on failure (-ENOTUNIQ if multiple links are
enabled, -ENOLINK if no connected pad is found). The return value
was assigned directly to isp->remote_src and dereferenced in the
next line without checking for errors, which could lead to an
ERR_PTR dereference.
Add proper error checking with IS_ERR() before dereferencing the
pointer. Also set isp->remote_src to NULL on error to maintain
consistency with other error paths in the function.
Fixes: d5f281f3dd29 ("media: mali-c55: Add Mali-C55 ISP driver")
