[PATCH] mfd: macsmc: Hold the lock while reading key info
From: Yuvan Shen via B4 Relay
Date: Sun Nov 01 2026 - 12:52:08 EST
From: Yuvan Shen <yuvanshen09@xxxxxxxxx>
apple_smc_get_key_info() releases the SMC mutex when apple_smc_cmd()
returns, and only then copies the reply out of the shared memory buffer.
A command issued by another thread in between can overwrite the buffer,
so the key's size, type and flags can come from a different reply. The
hwmon and power sub-devices call it from their probe functions, while
the other sub-devices may already be issuing commands.
Hold the mutex until the reply has been copied, as apple_smc_read() and
apple_smc_write() do.
