Subject: [PATCH 1/3] iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: set buffer sampling frequency for accelerometer only
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 19:15:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109181528.154127-2-flavra@baylibre.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260109181528.154127-1-flavra@baylibre.com>
The st_lsm6dsx_hwfifo_odr_store() function, which is called when userspace
writes the buffer sampling frequency sysfs attribute, calls
st_lsm6dsx_check_odr(), which accesses the odr_table array at index
`sensor->id`; since this array is only 2 entries long, an access for any
sensor type other than accelerometer or gyroscope is an out-of-bounds
access.
To prevent userspace from triggering an out-of-bounds array access, and to
support the only use case for which FIFO sampling frequency values
different from the sensor sampling frequency may be needed (which is for
keeping FIFO data rate low while sampling acceleration data at high rates
for accurate event detection), do not create the buffer sampling frequency
attribute for sensor types other than the accelerometer.
Fixes: 6b648a36c200 ("iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: Decouple sensor ODR from FIFO batch data rate")
