[PATCH] media: cec-pin: Fix event FIFO ordering
From: Gui-Dong Han
Date: Fri Jun 26 2026 - 04:08:37 EST
cec_pin_update() fills work_pin_events[] and work_pin_ts[], then
increments work_pin_num_events. cec_pin_thread_func() uses that counter
to decide when to read the FIFO entries.
Do not let the counter update be observed without the event update. Also
do not let a freed slot be reused before the thread has finished reading
it. Use release operations when publishing an entry and releasing a slot,
and acquire operations when consuming those counter updates.
Leave the other work_pin_num_events users as they do not participate in
this FIFO publication path.
Fixes: ea5c8ef29668 ("media: cec-pin: add low-level pin hardware support")

Found by auditing atomic operations used for synchronization.
