This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: do not use internal iio_dev lock to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iio-adc-ad_sigma_delta-do-not-use-internal-iio_dev-lock.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 20228a1d5a55e7db0c6720840f2c7d2b48c55f69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Nuno=20S=C3=A1?= <nuno.sa@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 13:28:07 +0200 Subject: iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: do not use internal iio_dev lock MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Nuno Sá <nuno.sa@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 20228a1d5a55e7db0c6720840f2c7d2b48c55f69 upstream. Drop 'mlock' usage by making use of iio_device_claim_direct_mode(). This change actually makes sure we cannot do a single conversion while buffering is enable. Note there was a potential race in the previous code since we were only acquiring the lock after checking if the bus is enabled.
