Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mailbox: cix: validate fast channel index before request_irq()
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 15:36:22 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812100623.36939-1-kr494167@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260812084742.22081-1-kr494167@gmail.com>
From: Surendra Singh Chouhan <kr494167@gmail.com>
cix_mbox_startup() checked fast channel index constraints (index < 0 ||
index > CIX_MBOX_FAST_IDX) inside the channel switch block after
calling request_irq(). If validation failed, it triggered a free_irq()
cleanup path.
Validating channel parameters prior to request_irq() avoids unnecessary
IRQ registration and teardown churn.
