From 701f49bc028edb19ffccd101997dd84f0d71e279 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2018 06:15:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] media: vivid: fix error handling of kthread_run kthread_run returns an error pointer, but elsewhere in the code dev->kthread_vid_cap/out is checked against NULL. If kthread_run returns an error, then set the pointer to NULL. I chose this method over changing all kthread_vid_cap/out tests elsewhere since this is more robust.
