[PATCH v5 05/20] media: rc: Add missing locking for keymap
From: Sean Young
Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 04:53:00 EST
When the rc_map for an rc_dev gets updated, locking is required but is
missing in places. A concurrent scancode lookup and a call to
rc_{register,unregistered}_device() could result in a use-after-free;
this could happen if IR is decoded during those function calls.
Add lockdep assertions where locks are required.
ir_free_table() should only be called for non-TX devices else we will
use a spinlock without iniitializing it.
Fixes: dccc0c3ddf8f ("media: rc: fix race between unregister and urb/irq callbacks")
