[PATCH] staging: media: tegra-video: fix device_node use after free

From: luca . ceresoli
Date: Fri Oct 28 2022 - 04:19:52 EST


From: Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

At probe time this code path is followed:

* tegra_csi_init
* tegra_csi_channels_alloc
* for_each_child_of_node(node, channel) -- iterates over channels
* automatically gets 'channel'
* tegra_csi_channel_alloc()
* saves into chan->of_node a pointer to the channel OF node
* automatically gets and puts 'channel'
* now the node saved in chan->of_node has refcount 0, can disappear
* tegra_csi_channels_init
* iterates over channels
* tegra_csi_channel_init -- uses chan->of_node

After that, chan->of_node keeps storing the node until the device is
removed.

of_node_get() the node and of_node_put() it during teardown to avoid any
risk.
