Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for your reply. I think you're right. As m2m_dev is freed in
v4l2_m2m_release,
the invoking in v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv might cause either UAF or null
pointer dereference
bug. I am sure that context is closed when we invoke mtk_jpeg_remove.
But I'm not sure if
context is released when mtk_jpegdec_timeout_work running.

Yes, so I think the better way is to put the cancel_delayed_work_sync
invoking into
v4l2_m2m_ctx_release function?

I think that's true. As I'm not familiar with the code here. Could you
please give me some advice about the patch?
