Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (w83l786ng) Convert macros to functions to avoid TOCTOU
Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2025 20:38:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251128123816.3670-1-hanguidong02@gmail.com> (raw)
The macros FAN_FROM_REG and TEMP_FROM_REG evaluate their arguments
multiple times. When used in lockless contexts involving shared driver
data, this causes Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race
conditions.
Convert the macros to static functions. This guarantees that arguments
are evaluated only once (pass-by-value), preventing the race
conditions.
Adhere to the principle of minimal changes by only converting macros
that evaluate arguments multiple times and are used in lockless
contexts.

Based on the discussion in the link, I will submit a series of patches to
address TOCTOU issues in the hwmon subsystem by converting macros to
functions or adjusting locking where appropriate.
