This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix possible lockup in
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.
From 8114ef86e2058e2554111b793596f17bee23fa15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Silvano Seva s.seva@4sigma.it Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 09:49:49 +0100 Subject: iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix possible lockup in st_lsm6dsx_read_tagged_fifo
Prevent st_lsm6dsx_read_tagged_fifo from falling in an infinite loop in case pattern_len is equal to zero and the device FIFO is not empty.
