Hi Marek,

vb2_ioctl_remove_bufs() call manipulates queue internal buffer list, potentially overwriting some pointers used by the legacy fileio access mode. Add a vb2_verify_memory_type() check symmetrical to vb2_ioctl_create_bufs() to forbid that ioctl when fileio is active to protect internal queue state between subsequent read/write calls.

I'll pick this up as a fix for v6.18. I think this is important enough to not wait for v6.19.

Regards,

Hans

v2:

• dropped a change to vb2_ioctl_create_bufs(), as it is already handled by the vb2_verify_memory_type() call
• replaced queue->type check in vb2_ioctl_remove_bufs() by a call to vb2_verify_memory_type() which covers all cases

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251016111154.993949-1-m.szyprowski@samsung.com...
