[PATCH 1/1] ipu3-imgu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in active selection access

[PATCH 1/1] ipu3-imgu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in active selection access

[Sakari Ailus]

What the IMGU driver did was that it first acquired the pointers to active
and try V4L2 subdev state, and only then figured out which one to use.

The problem with that approach and a later patch (see Fixes: tag) is that
as sd_state argument to v4l2_subdev_get_try_crop() et al is NULL, there is
now an attempt to dereference that.

Fix this.

Also rewrap lines a little.

[Bingbu Cao]

Sakari, 

Thanks for your patch, does it make sense that prevent the
NULL deference and throw warning in v4l2-subdev API? Though it
is the responsibility of driver to keep it safe.

Thank you for this fix, this however only addresses
imgu_subdev_get_selection(), but the issue is also present in
imgu_subdev_set_selection(). I assume that a similar fix is needed for that.
I've added a diff for that below. Feel free to squash that into your patch or
let me know if I should submit this separately.

Max

This looks like a problem indeed. I'll let Sakari decide what he wants
to do. Adding wrappers along the lines of

static struct v4l2_rect *
imgu_subdev_get_crop(struct imgu_v4l2_subdev *sd,
		     struct v4l2_subdev_state *sd_state, unsigned int pad,
		     enum v4l2_subdev_format_whence which)
{
	if (which == V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY)
		return v4l2_subdev_get_try_crop(&imgu_sd->subdev, sd_state, pad);
	else
		return &imgu_sd->rect.eff;
}

(same for the selection rectangle) and using them through the code may
help.

Sure, I'll do that. I'll also follow Laurent's suggestions and introduce
get_crop()/get_compose() helpers as I think that might be a bit cleaner.

Thanks! That does seem a good idea. I'll include those in the patch.
