[PATCH 2/2] mailbox: pcc: Serialize channel updates with shared memory teardown
From: Christian Loehle
Date: Thu Sep 03 2026 - 07:17:36 EST
mbox_free_channel() makes a PCC channel available before the subsequent
shared-memory unmap. Without serialization, a concurrent request can bind a
new client and replace the mapping, which the old release then unmaps.
Serialize PCC channel acquisition and release. Keep the channel unavailable
until the old shared-memory mapping has been removed.
