There is the same incorrect approach to locking implemented in vivid_stop_generating_vid_cap(), vivid_stop_generating_vid_out() and sdr_cap_stop_streaming(). These functions are called during streaming stopping with vivid_dev.mutex locked. And they all do the same mistake while stopping their kthreads, which need to lock this mutex as well. See the example from vivid_stop_generating_vid_cap(): /* shutdown control thread */ vivid_grab_controls(dev, false); mutex_unlock(&dev->mutex); kthread_stop(dev->kthread_vid_cap); dev->kthread_vid_cap = NULL; mutex_lock(&dev->mutex); But when this mutex is unlocked, another vb2_fop_read() can lock it instead of vivid_thread_vid_cap() and manipulate the buffer queue. That causes a use-after-free access later. To fix those issues let's: 1. avoid unlocking the mutex in vivid_stop_generating_vid_cap(), vivid_stop_generating_vid_out() and sdr_cap_stop_streaming(); 2. use mutex_trylock() with schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() in the loops of the vivid kthread handlers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
