Subject: [PATCH v1 3/3] media: sun4i-csi: add notifier unbind callback to drop the source subdev
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2026 18:17:28 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <61d4901af20a4d2d0f9484328c173bbdfc52ec05.1786184456.git.congnt264@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1786184456.git.congnt264@gmail.com>

sun4i_csi_notify_ops only implements .bound and .complete. When the remote
sensor's subdevice goes away (e.g. its module is unloaded), the V4L2 async
core unbinds and frees it, but the driver keeps the stale pointer in
csi->src_subdev and leaves the video node registered.

A subsequent VIDIOC_STREAMON reaches sun4i_csi_start_streaming(), which
calls v4l2_subdev_call(csi->src_subdev, video, s_stream, 1) on the freed
subdev, resulting in a use-after-free.

Add an .unbind callback that unregisters the video device so userspace can
no longer start streaming, and clears csi->src_subdev. Unregistering the
already-unregistered video device again in sun4i_csi_remove() is harmless
(vb2_video_unregister_device() is a no-op when it is not registered).
