Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y 2/2] hwmon: (max16065) Use local variable to avoid TOCTOU
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2025 15:41:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251231204136.3475586-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251231204136.3475586-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Gui-Dong Han <hanguidong02@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit b8d5acdcf525f44e521ca4ef51dce4dac403dab4 ]

In max16065_current_show, data->curr_sense is read twice: once for the
error check and again for the calculation. Since
i2c_smbus_read_byte_data returns negative error codes on failure, if the
data changes to an error code between the check and the use, ADC_TO_CURR
results in an incorrect calculation.

Read data->curr_sense into a local variable to ensure consistency. Note
that data->curr_gain is constant and safe to access directly.

This aligns max16065_current_show with max16065_input_show, which
already uses a local variable for the same reason.
