Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address (iMX8MMini)

vincentz63 — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 17:32:28 GMT

I have a custom board with i.MX8Mini and LPDDR4 RAM, connected to a MIPI CSI2 (DPHY) camera streaming 1080p30.

We have a test application based on GStreamer that stops and starts video streaming every few seconds.

the application triggers a crash in the v4l2 driver stack after several cycles. This can range from 50 stop/start cycles to 100s or 1000s.

The callstack is always the same. The crash happens in the vb2_buffer_done(), and we think it may be the call to “atomic_dec(&q->owned_by_drv_count);” in this function that triggers it. For a given image (OS + application), the virtual address is always the same (in the CS below 0x1f8).

Any idea what could be going wrong? Has something like this been reported already?
