[PATCH v3 10/11] hwmon: chipcap2: serialize access to the alarm indicators

From: Javier Carrasco

Date: Wed Oct 14 2026 - 13:39:39 EST


low_alarm and high_alarm are accessed from the threaded interrupt
handlers and from sysfs without any locking, which can lead to lost
alarms.

Add a mutex to serialize the access to the alarm indicators and to
process_irqs, which the handlers use to decide whether an interrupt
belongs to an ongoing operation.
