Subject: [PATCH v2] accel/amdxdna: fix race condition in mailbox send path
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 10:53:03 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260829075303.7457-1-denizaydogan1902@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260828221641.10034-1-denizaydogan1902@gmail.com>

mailbox_send_msg() reads and updates x2i_tail without any
synchronization. The DRM scheduler and ioctl paths can call
xdna_mailbox_send_msg() concurrently on the same channel, which
allows two threads to read the same tail value and corrupt the
hardware ring buffer.

Add a mutex to serialize the entire send path. A mutex is used
rather than a spinlock because the existing code calls
read_poll_timeout() with a non-zero sleep, which can reschedule.

Fixes: 3ba13f5e7180 ("Merge tag 'devicetree-fixes-for-7.3-1'")
