media: mc, v4l2: serialize REINIT and REQBUFS with req_queue_mutex

2026-03-18T10:21:31+00:00

MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT can run concurrently with VIDIOC_REQBUFS(0) queue teardown paths. This can race request object cleanup against vb2 queue cancellation and lead to use-after-free reports. We already serialize request queueing against STREAMON/OFF with req_queue_mutex. Extend that serialization to REQBUFS, and also take the same mutex in media_request_ioctl_reinit() so REINIT is in the same exclusion domain. This keeps request cleanup and queue cancellation from running in parallel for request-capable devices.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

media: mc: add debugfs node to keep track of requests

media: mc: add manual request completion

2026-01-05T14:56:31+00:00

By default when the last request object is completed, the whole request completes as well. But sometimes you want to delay this completion to an arbitrary point in time so add a manual complete mode for this. In req_queue the driver marks the request for manual completion by calling media_request_mark_manual_completion, and when the driver wants to manually complete the request it calls media_request_manual_complete().

media: mc: fix potential use-after-free in media_request_alloc()

2025-12-15T14:12:28+00:00

Commit 6f504cbf108a ("media: convert media_request_alloc() to FD_PREPARE()") moved the call to fd_install() (now hidden in fd_publish()) before the snprintf(), making the later write to potentially already freed memory, as userland is free to call close() concurrently right after the call to fd_install() which may end up in the request_fops.release() handler freeing 'req'.
