[media] v4l2-async: failing functions shouldn't have side effects
v4l2-async had several functions doing some operations and then
not undoing the operations in a failure situation. For example,
v4l2_async_test_notify() moved a subdev into notifier's done list
even if registering the subdev (v4l2_device_register_subdev) failed.
If the subdev was allocated and v4l2_async_register_subdev() called
from the driver's probe() function, as usually, the probe()
function freed the allocated subdev and returned a failure.
Nevertheless, the subdev was still left into the notifier's done
list, causing an access to already freed memory when the notifier
was later unregistered.
A hand-edited call trace leaving freed subdevs into the notifier:
v4l2_async_register_notifier(notifier, asd)
cameradrv_probe
sd = devm_kzalloc()
v4l2_async_register_subdev(sd)
v4l2_async_test_notify(notifier, sd, asd)
list_move(sd, ¬ifier->done)
v4l2_device_register_subdev(notifier->v4l2_dev, sd)
cameradrv_registered(sd) -> fails
->v4l2_async_register_subdev returns failure
->cameradrv_probe returns failure
->devres frees the allocated sd
->sd was freed but it still remains in the notifier's list.
This patch fixes this and several other cases where a failing
function could leave nodes into a linked list while the caller
might free the node due to a failure.
