From 5a0400aca5fa7c6b8ba456c311a460e733571c88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sakari Ailus sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com Date: Thu, 8 May 2025 18:55:38 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] media: v4l2-ctrls: Don't reset handler's error in v4l2_ctrl_handler_free()
It's a common pattern in drivers to free the control handler's resources and then return the handler's error code on drivers' error handling paths. Alas, the v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() function also zeroes the error field, effectively indicating successful return to the caller.
There's no apparent need to touch the error field while releasing the control handler's resources and cleaning up stale pointers. Not touching the handler's error field is a more certain way to address this problem than changing all the users, in which case the pattern would be likely to re-emerge in new drivers.
Do just that, don't touch the control handler's error field in v4l2_ctrl_handler_free().

When v4l2_ctrl_request_complete() is called and there is no control handler object found in the request, then create such an object so that all controls at completion state can be stored and are available to userspace.
Otherwise any attempt by userspace to read the completed request data will fail.
If allocating the control handler object failed, then indicate that by returning ENOMEM when attempting to get the controls from the completed request instead of returning ENOENT.
