Re: [PATCH 0/3] media: Two oopses and a hang when unbinding a streaming sensor

[Nicola Fiorillo <nicfio@gmail.com>]

A note on how this series meets the IPU7 work, since the two touch the
same lines.

The series still applies to v7.3-rc1 unchanged: none of the three files it
touches has changed in mainline since it was posted.

It does not apply to the ipu6 branch of the media tree. "media: ipu6:
Split ipu6 csi2 stream enable/disable" reworks both
ipu6_isys_csi2_enable_streams() and ipu6_isys_csi2_disable_streams(),
which is what patch 1/3 changes. The rework is a refactor and leaves the
bug in place: in the new code remote_pad is still dereferenced without
being checked in both functions, so unbinding a sensor mid capture oopses
there as well.

Patch 1/3 rewritten on top of 6f6d9729301f is below, in case that is the
more convenient base. I am happy to resend the series against whichever
tree you prefer -- please just say which. Patches 2/3 and 3/3 are not
affected either way: subdev_open() is unchanged in mainline, and
isys_async_ops still has no .unbind() in the ipu6 branch either.

Thanks,
Nicola

Subject: [PATCH] media: ipu6: Check the remote pad before dereferencing it

Unbinding a sensor driver while a capture is running oopses the kernel:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
  RIP: 0010:ipu6_isys_csi2_disable_streams+0x3c/0x70 [intel_ipu6_isys]
  Call Trace:

media_pad_remote_pad_first() returns NULL once the sensor is gone and the
link with it, but both the enable and the disable path dereference the
result unconditionally. The faulting address is the offset of the entity
member in struct media_pad.

Check it. On enable there is nothing to stream from, so refuse with
-ENOLINK. On disable the receiver still has to be stopped, so stop it and
skip only the call towards the sensor that is no longer there.

Reproduced on a CHUWI Hi10 X1 (Alder Lake-N, IPU6) running 6.12.86, with
the CSI-2 port of a sensor being unbound mid capture.

Based on 6f6d9729301f ("media: ipu6: Enable support for IPU 7 and IPU 7.5").
Not build tested: the machine that reproduced the oops has no kernel tree
available at the moment, and the IPU7 paths cannot be exercised here in any
case. The change adds no new identifiers and no new call sites; it is the
same fix already tested on IPU6 with the mainline version of the patch.
