Subject: [PATCH v2] regmap: Fix race condition in hwspinlock irqsave routine
Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 11:26:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260107032610.13166-1-eleanor.lin@realtek.com> (raw)

From: Cheng-Yu Lee <cylee12@realtek.com>

Previously, the address of the shared member '&map->spinlock_flags' was
passed directly to 'hwspin_lock_timeout_irqsave'. This creates a race
condition where multiple contexts contending for the lock could overwrite
the shared flags variable, potentially corrupting the state for the
current lock owner.

Fix this by using a local stack variable 'flags' to store the IRQ state
temporarily.

Fixes: 8698b9364710 ("regmap: Add hardware spinlock support")

v2:
 - Initialize 'flags' to 0. This fixes a -Werror build failure when
   CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK is disabled, as the stub function in that case does
   not initialize the pointer.
