Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Input: gscps2 - protect buffer access in read and report helpers
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 13:52:48 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830-gscps2-v1-3-c733d4cae7f9@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830-gscps2-v1-0-c733d4cae7f9@gmail.com>

In gscps2_report_data(), the ring buffer consumer index ps2port->act was
read and updated locklessly. When gscps2_interrupt() was called from
process context (such as during port write or open) concurrently with a
hardware interrupt running on another CPU, two execution contexts could
execute gscps2_report_data() simultaneously for the same port, racing on
ps2port->act and leading to duplicate, skipped, or out-of-order bytes.

Protect buffer access by taking ps2port->lock inside gscps2_read_data()
and gscps2_report_data(). In gscps2_report_data(), acquire ps2port->lock
only when popping entries from the ring buffer and release it before
calling serio_interrupt() to avoid recursive deadlocks if the input
driver synchronously sends a command back via serio_write().
