[PATCH] media: vp702x: set up the state buffer before the adapter
From: Yogesh Gaur
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 12:59:53 EST
vp702x_usb_probe() allocates st->buf and initializes st->buf_mutex only
after dvb_usb_device_init() has returned.
dvb_usb_device_init() calls dvb_usb_adapter_init() ->
dvb_usb_adapter_dvb_init(), which invokes the props.read_mac_address
callback. vp702x_read_mac_addr() therefore runs while the device state
is still all zeroes from the kzalloc() in dvb_usb_init(), and locks a
mutex that has never been initialized:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock)
WARNING: kernel/locking/mutex.c:625 at __mutex_lock+0x947/0x1bd0 kernel/locking/mutex.c:821

</TASK>
Besides taking an uninitialized mutex, vp702x_read_mac_addr() also
hands &buf[i - 6] to vp702x_usb_in_op() with st->buf still NULL.
The dvb-usb core already has a hook for this: props.priv_init is called
right after d->priv has been allocated and before any adapter is
brought up, with props.priv_destroy as its counterpart. Move the buffer
setup and teardown there, which reduces ->probe() and ->disconnect() to
the plain core calls.
priv_destroy() runs after dvb_usb_adapter_exit(), so no adapter can be
using the buffer by then and the buf_mutex that used to be held across
the kfree() in ->disconnect() is no longer needed.
