Subject: [PATCH] accel/amdxdna: fix race condition in mailbox send path
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 01:16:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828221641.10034-1-denizaydogan1902@gmail.com> (raw)

xdna_mailbox_send_msg() reads and writes x2i_tail without holding any
lock. This is problematic because the DRM scheduler thread can submit
jobs via aie2_execbuf() while the ioctl thread concurrently configures
the same hardware context via aie2_config_cu().

Both paths eventually call xdna_mailbox_send_msg() which does:

    tail = mb_chann->x2i_tail;
    ...
    mailbox_set_tailptr(mb_chann, tail + mb_msg->pkg_size);

Without synchronization, concurrent writers can read the same tail value,
overwrite each other's messages in the ring buffer, and write conflicting
tail pointers to hardware.

Fix this by protecting the tail pointer manipulation with a spinlock
that is held for the entire duration of mailbox_send_msg(). The lock
is initialized in xdna_mailbox_alloc_channel() and acquired/released
around the critical section in mailbox_send_msg().
