Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] fsi: sbefifo: Validate pending user write
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 17:38:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230911223809.3505431-3-ninad@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230911223809.3505431-1-ninad@linux.ibm.com>
This commit rejects user write operation if previous write operation is
still pending.
As per the current kernel driver design, write operation prepares a
buffer for FSI write, the actual FSI write is performed on next read
operation. There is a possibility of memory leak if buggy application
sends two back to back writes or two parallel writes.
