Subject: [PATCH] media: vidtv: fix memory leak by cleaning up mux in bridge_remove
Author: zhanghaotian@uniontech.com
#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
The vidtv driver relies on stop_feed being called via the dmxdev file
close path to trigger vidtv_stop_streaming() which destroys the mux.
However, if the DVB core close path does not reach stop_filtering
(e.g. due to race conditions), the entire mux and all channel
descriptors are permanently leaked.
Fix this by proactively stopping streaming and destroying the mux in
vidtv_bridge_remove(), before releasing the dmxdev and dmx resources.
Use the existing feed_lock mutex to synchronize with any concurrent
stop_feed callback. After cleaning up the mux, set dvb->streaming to
false and dvb->mux to NULL so any subsequent stop_feed will return
early safely.
Also fix a pre-existing bug where mutex_destroy(&dvb->feed_lock) was
called before dvb_dmxdev_release(), which could cause vidtv_stop_feed
to operate on a destroyed mutex if the fd close path races with module
removal.
