This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled hdpvr: fix iteration over uninitialized lists in to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From c6b8802a274da1a9f4d4d459ae191950bd842749 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@ispras.ru> Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 16:17:34 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] hdpvr: fix iteration over uninitialized lists in hdpvr_probe() commit 2e923a0527ac439e135b9961e58d3acd876bba10 upstream. free_buff_list and rec_buff_list are initialized in the middle of hdpvr_probe(), but if something bad happens before that, error handling code calls hdpvr_delete(), which contains iteration over the lists (via hdpvr_free_buffers()). The patch moves the lists initialization to the beginning and by the way fixes goto label in error handling of registering videodev. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
