[PATCH v45 1/7] mailbox/pcc.c: shmem map/unmap startup/teardown

From: Adam Young <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-21 17:53:13
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: acpi pcc(platform communication channel) mailbox driver, mailbox api, the rest · Maintainers: Sudeep Holla, Jassi Brar, Linus Torvalds

The mailbox IRQ and shmems are not cleaned up atomically, so there is a
race condition. If the shmem is torn down while the IRQ is active, a late
interrupt can trigger a write to un-mapped memory.
If the shmem is torn down while the IRQ is active, and another thread
requests the channel again, we can end up with a channel that has had
its shmem unmapped.

By moving the map to start up and the unmap to teardown, we can let
the mailbox mechanism prevent re-entrance into the startup/teardown
functions.

Avoid doubly unmapping the region by removing the unmap in the
direct error handler for the request.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5.4
Fixes: fa362ffafa51 ("mailbox: pcc: Always map the shared memory communication address")
