[PATCH] media: hantro: Harden MPEG-2 control access against NULL
Posted by Tharit Tangkijwanichakul 2 months ago
The MPEG-2 sequence and picture controls are validated
before a job is queued, so hantro_get_ctrl() is not expected to return
NULL in hantro_g1_mpeg2_dec_run(). The controls are nonetheless
dereferenced unconditionally.

Harden the invariant by checking the sequence and picture controls with
WARN_ON().

Found by code inspection.

Fixes: f329e21e9dad ("media: uapi: mpeg2: Split sequence and picture parameters")

Tested on a Rockchip RK3588 (Rock 5B) board with Fluster:
  MPEG-2 (MPEG2_VIDEO-MAIN): 23/43, unchanged

p.s. this is a bit cosmetic, since only a programming error could lead to that,
once a control is registered, it has a value. But that makes it consistent with
all other use of hantro_get_ctrl() in this driver, which I like.
