This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gpiolib: cdev: fix uninitialised kfifo to the 6.8-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: gpiolib-cdev-fix-uninitialised-kfifo.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8040c53a25d56ad46b01be1885010ec7d9c85134 Author: Kent Gibson <warthog618@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri May 10 14:53:42 2024 +0800 gpiolib: cdev: fix uninitialised kfifo [ Upstream commit ee0166b637a5e376118e9659e5b4148080f1d27e ] If a line is requested with debounce, and that results in debouncing in software, and the line is subsequently reconfigured to enable edge detection then the allocation of the kfifo to contain edge events is overlooked. This results in events being written to and read from an uninitialised kfifo. Read events are returned to userspace. Initialise the kfifo in the case where the software debounce is already active.
