Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: Protect sysfs attributes with mutex
Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 12:15:22 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260920091522.15507-1-abdelnasserhussein11@gmail.com> (raw)

The sysfs store functions (ad7816_store_mode and ad7816_store_channel)
modify the device state and toggle GPIO pins. If accessed concurrently
by userspace during an ongoing SPI transfer, this could corrupt the
SPI transaction.

Add the existing chip->lock guard to these functions to serialize
access and prevent race conditions.

Fixes: 7924425db04a ("staging: iio: adc: new driver for AD7816 devices")

Changes in v2:
- Added a blank line after guard(mutex) statements as requested by Joshua.
- Added Fixes tag as requested by Dan.
- Collected Reviewed-by tag from Joshua.
