[PATCH RESEND v3 1/7] rtc-cmos: take rtc_lock while reading from CMOS

From: Mateusz Jończyk
Date: Fri Nov 19 2021 - 15:43:55 EST


Reading from the CMOS involves writing to the index register and then
reading from the data register. Therefore access to the CMOS has to be
serialized with rtc_lock. This invocation of CMOS_READ was not
serialized, which could cause trouble when other code is accessing CMOS
at the same time.

Use spin_lock_irq() like the rest of the function.

Nothing in kernel modifies the RTC_DM_BINARY bit, so there could be a
separate pair of spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq() before doing the
math.
