Subject: [PATCH v5 11/16] console/braille: Lock console->setup() call during the registration
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 14:05:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929120546.328616-12-pmladek@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929120546.328616-1-pmladek@suse.com>

In braille_register_console(), the console->setup() callback must be
called while holding the console_lock. This prevents a race condition
with a possible active boot console that might be using the same hardware
registers.

See also the commit 801410b26a0e ("serial: Lock console when calling into
driver before registration").

Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260423130015.85175-1-pmladek%40suse.com
Suggested-by: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de>
