This series addresses review feedback from v2
Patch 1 fixes ina233_read_word_data() which had two problems: the return
value of pmbus_read_word_data() was not checked for errors before use in
arithmetic, and MFR_READ_VSHUNT is a 16-bit two's complement value whose
negative values were treated as large positive numbers. The fix adds an
error check, a (s16) cast for sign extension, and clamp_val() to prevent
negative scaled results from being misinterpreted as errors by the pmbus
core.
Patch 2 adds pmbus_lock_interruptible()/pmbus_unlock() around the custom
avs_enable sysfs show and store callbacks in isl68137, which were
accessing PMBus registers without holding the update_lock mutex. The
store path is especially vulnerable as it performs a multi-step
read-modify-write sequence.
v3:
- ina233: Added error check, (s16) cast, and clamp_val() per Guenter's
review (v2 only had the cast, missing both the error check and clamp)
- isl68137: New patch addressing Sashiko-reported locking issue
v2:
- ina233: Added (s16) cast for sign extension (no error check)
- isl68137: Reverted Boolean logic to (val & MASK) == MASK
Sanman Pradhan (2):
hwmon: (pmbus/ina233) Fix error handling and sign extension in shunt
voltage read
hwmon: (pmbus/isl68137) Add mutex protection for AVS enable sysfs
