[PATCH v2] irqchip: crossbar: Fix data race in allocate_gic_irq

From: Bhargav Joshi

Date: Wed Jun 10 2026 - 07:21:19 EST


In allocate_gic_irq(), if irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent() fails, the
error path resets cb->irq_map[i] to IRQ_FREE. It modifies cb->irq_map[]
without holding cb->lock. modifying without lock could cause data race.

Fix this by acquiring raw_spin_lock around cb->irq_map[] modification.
