Subject: [PATCH v2 14/14] firmware: arm_scmi: Publish mailbox cinfo before channel request
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:52:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701-scmi_core_fixes-v2-14-1f5e85553f73@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701-scmi_core_fixes-v2-0-1f5e85553f73@kernel.org>
mailbox_chan_setup() initializes smbox->cinfo only after all mailbox
channels have been requested successfully. That is too late because
mbox_request_channel() binds the client before invoking the controller
startup callback, and startup can enable interrupt delivery.
If a pending or spurious mailbox interrupt fires during that window,
mbox_chan_received_data() can call the SCMI mailbox rx_callback() before
smbox->cinfo is set. The callback dereferences smbox->cinfo on both the
spurious IRQ path and the normal RX path, so this can crash before
channel setup has completed.
Publish cinfo->transport_info and smbox->cinfo, and initialize the
chan_lock, before requesting any mailbox channel. Clear the early
published pointers again on setup failure so later cleanup does not see
a half-initialized transport.
Fixes: 5c8a47a5a91d ("firmware: arm_scmi: Make scmi core independent of the transport type")
