[PATCH] dmaengine: mv_xor: protect MBUS window access with a spinlock
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 14:26:26 EST
mv_xor_add_io_win() reads and writes shared MBUS window registers
and updates the shared win_start/win_end arrays in mv_xor_device.
Multiple DMA channels can call this function concurrently via
mv_xor_prep_dma_xor(), leading to races where two threads can
select the same free window slot, corrupt the registers, or produce
inconsistent cached state.
Add a spinlock to struct mv_xor_device and hold it across the
register read-modify-write and cache update in mv_xor_add_io_win().
Fixes: 77ff7a706f01 ("mv_xor: Add support for IO (PCIe) src/dst areas")
