[PATCH v2 1/2] vb2: core: Skip planes array verification if pb is NULL

From: Sakari Ailus
Date: Thu May 12 2016 - 08:15:19 EST


An earlier patch fixing an input validation issue introduced another
issue: vb2_core_dqbuf() is called with pb argument value NULL in some
cases, causing a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this by skipping the
verification as there's nothing to verify.

Use if () instead of ? :; it's nicer that way. Improve the comment in the
code as well.

Fixes: e7e0c3e26587 ("[media] videobuf2-core: Check user space planes array in dqbuf")
