Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (pmbus) Add mutex locking for sysfs reads
Date: Tue,  3 Nov 2020 13:33:15 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201103193315.3011800-1-robert.hancock@calian.com> (raw)

As part of commit a919ba06979a7 ("hwmon: (pmbus) Stop caching register
values"), the update of the sensor value is now triggered directly by the
sensor attribute value being read from sysfs. This created (or at least
made much more likely) a locking issue, since nothing protected the device
page selection from being unexpectedly modified by concurrent reads. If
sensor values on different pages on the same device were being concurrently
read by multiple threads, this could cause spurious read errors due to the
page register not reading back the same value last written, or sensor
values being read from the incorrect page.

Add locking of the update_lock mutex in pmbus_show_sensor and
pmbus_show_samples so that these cannot result in concurrent reads from the
underlying device.

Fixes: a919ba06979a7 ("hwmon: (pmbus) Stop caching register values")
