From 1fe16dc1a2f5057772e5391ec042ed7442966c9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sean Nyekjaer sean@geanix.com Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2025 14:25:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iio: accel: fxls8962af: Fix use after free in fxls8962af_fifo_flush
fxls8962af_fifo_flush() uses indio_dev->active_scan_mask (with iio_for_each_active_channel()) without making sure the indio_dev stays in buffer mode. There is a race if indio_dev exits buffer mode in the middle of the interrupt that flushes the fifo. Fix this by calling synchronize_irq() to ensure that no interrupt is currently running when disabling buffer mode.
