Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] iio: accel: bmc150: take the lock before checking ev_enable_state
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 00:42:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816234231.14168-3-grondon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260816234231.14168-1-grondon@gmail.com>
bmc150_accel_write_event_config() compared the requested state against
data->ev_enable_state before acquiring data->mutex. Two threads racing
to enable and disable the same event can both pass the check and then
both call bmc150_accel_set_interrupt(), which tracks enables with an
atomic users count. The inc/dec can become unbalanced, leaving the
interrupt enabled or disabled against the callers' intent.
Move the check inside the locked region so the test of ev_enable_state
and its update are atomic with respect to the interrupt accounting.
Fixes: 14ee64f438b8 ("iio: bmc150: exit early if event / trigger state is not changed")
