Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] mtd: spi-nor: core: Fix mutex leak in spi_nor_rww_start_exclusive()
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 22:03:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819140337.36775-2-runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819140337.36775-1-runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn>
The RWW wait helpers must not block while evaluating the condition.
spi_nor_rww_start_exclusive() used mutex_lock() directly and could return
with nor->lock still held.
Switch the four RWW start helpers to conditional scoped mutex guards so
the wait condition never sleeps and nor->lock is released before return.
Fixes: 74df43b3f626 ("mtd: spi-nor: Enhance locking to support reads while writes")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: Runyu Xiao <runyu.xiao@seu.edu.cn>
Changes in v4:
- Use the original RWW locking commit in Fixes and update the subject.
- Apply the locking fix to all RWW start helpers used as wait conditions.
- Keep commit 03e7bb864d9a ("mtd: spi-nor: use scope-based mutex
cleanup helpers") as a stable prerequisite because it adds cleanup.h.
