[PATCH v2] media: videobuf2: forbid remove_bufs when legacy fileio is active
From: Marek Szyprowski
Date: Mon Oct 20 2025 - 12:01:37 EST
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.

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@xxxxxxxxxxx/
