Subject: [PATCH v6 01/12] leds: class: Always protect brightness_show() with led_access
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 02:09:20 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-leds-trigger-hw-changed-v6-1-55693cd78877@rong.moe> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260902-leds-trigger-hw-changed-v6-0-55693cd78877@rong.moe>
The led_classdev_register_ext() protects transient states when
registering with the led_access mutex and relies on all sensitive sysfs
attribute callbacks holding the mutex to prevent exposing transient
states.
The Fixes: commit broke this as it accessed trigger_lock without holding
led_access. Fix it by protecting brightness_show() with led_access in
all code paths.
Fixes: b819dc7d8fb2 ("leds: core: Report ENODATA for brightness of hardware controlled LED")
