Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] media: rc: Fix race condition during rc_register_device()
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 21:50:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105025023.1213842-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026110405-glancing-agreeing-5546@gregkh>
From: Sean Young <sean@mess.org>
[ Upstream commit ec7cb49871e5c4f85d57290320c50ee0bae4db84 ]
Device drivers can call ir_raw_event_store() or ir_raw_event_handle()
right after rc_allocate_device(). This means that while
rc_register_device() is being called, those functions can be called
from e.g. interrupt handlers.
Currently dev->raw is being allocated and populated by
ir_raw_event_prepare() which is called from rc_register_device(). This
is not done in a safe way, e.g. dev->raw is being set before the
raw members are populated.
Call ir_raw_event_prepare() from rc_allocate_device() instead.
Fixes: a3572c34da8d ("V4L/DVB: ir-core: Add logic to decode IR protocols at the IR core")
