Hi Tomasz,

Thanks for the patch.

Looks good to me.

Can this happen ? The vb2 core already has

                /* Check if the provided plane buffer is large enough */
                if (planes[plane].length < q->plane_sizes[plane]) {
                        ret = -EINVAL;
                        goto err;
                }

Unless queue_setup sets plane_sizes to 0 we can't reach vb2_dc_get_userptr.
