[PATCH v2 1/3] staging: vchiq: Fix bulk userdata handling

Phil Elwell phil at raspberrypi.com
Tue Jan 5 16:20:28 UTC 2021


The addition of the local 'userdata' pointer to
vchiq_irq_queue_bulk_tx_rx omitted the case where neither BLOCKING nor
WAITING modes are used, in which case the value provided by the
caller is not returned to them as expected, but instead it is replaced
with a NULL. This lack of a suitable context may cause the application
to crash or otherwise malfunction.

Fixes: 4184da4f316a ("staging: vchiq: fix __user annotations")
