[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.6 05/68] media: vimc: streamer: fix memory leak in vimc subdevs if kthread_run fails

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Apr 10 2020 - 00:03:29 EST


From: Dafna Hirschfeld <dafna.hirschfeld@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ceeb2e6166dddf3c9757abbbf84032027e2fa2d2 ]

In case kthread_run fails, the vimc subdevices
should be notified that streaming stopped so they can
release the memory for the streaming. Also, kthread should be
set to NULL.
