media: Reset file->private_data to NULL in v4l2_fh_del()
Multiple drivers that use v4l2_fh and call v4l2_fh_del() manually reset the file->private_data pointer to NULL in their video device .release() file operation handler. Move the code to the v4l2_fh_del() function to avoid direct access to file->private_data in drivers. This requires adding a file pointer argument to the function. Changes to drivers have been generated with the following coccinelle semantic patch: @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier release; type ret; @@ ret release(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - filp->private_data = NULL; ... - v4l2_fh_del(fh); + v4l2_fh_del(fh, filp); ...> } @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier release; type ret; @@ ret release(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - v4l2_fh_del(fh); + v4l2_fh_del(fh, filp); ... - filp->private_data = NULL; ...> } @@ expression fh; identifier filp; identifier release; type ret; @@ ret release(..., struct file *filp, ...) { <... - v4l2_fh_del(fh); + v4l2_fh_del(fh, filp); ...> } Manual changes have been applied to Documentation/ to update the usage patterns, to drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fh.c to update the v4l2_fh_del() prototype and reset file->private_data, and to include/media/v4l2-fh.h to update the v4l2_fh_del() function prototype and its documentation. Additionally, white space issues have been fixed manually in drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart+renesas@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil+cisco@kernel.org>
