Public bug reported:
I have Canon Lide 220. I have libsane from Xenial (1.0.25) compiled with
debuild. If I initialize the scanner with sane_open(), then immediately
de-initialize it with sane_close(), and then sane_open() again,
sane_start() will crash after that. The crash happens in
genesys_low.c/sanei_genesys_generate_gamma_buffer() line #1240:
value=dev->sensor.gamma_table[GENESYS_RED][i];
The issue is that if I reinitialize the scanner, its gamma table is lost
(dev->sensor.gamma_table). After reinitializing sane_start() tries to
use non-initialized gamma table and crashes. Possible WORKAROUND, NOT A
FIX:
In genesys_low.c/sanei_genesys_asic_init() line #1378 find and comment
out the following code:
if (dev->already_initialized && !cold)
{
DBG (DBG_info, "%s: already initialized, nothing to do\n", __FUNCTION__);
return SANE_STATUS_GOOD;
}
So it becomes
/* if (dev->already_initialized && !cold)
{
DBG (DBG_info, "%s: already initialized, nothing to do\n", __FUNCTION__);
return SANE_STATUS_GOOD;
}
*/
After this ugly hack sane will reinitialize the gamma table every time,
and the application will not crash. Sample C++ app is attached. Simply
compile and run with Lide 220 connected.
