But the `iio_dma_fence` can outlive the\n`iio_dmabuf_priv`, which can cause a use-after-free.\n\nTie the lifetime of the lock to the lifetime of the fence by embedding them\nin the same struct.\n\nWe can't just hold a reference to the `iio_dmabuf_priv` from the\n`iio_dma_fence` since `iio_buffer_dmabuf_release()` might sleep and the\nfence release callback is not allowed to sleep.\n\nNote that the `dma_fence` framework now has an internal lock that gets used\nwhen the passing `NULL` for `lock` in `dma_fence_init()`, but in order to\nallow this patch to be backportable use an external lock.","published":"2026-09-16T11:17:03.610","modified":"2026-09-16T11:17:03.610","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/510497e31be4f241103507315a859e2085ccb081"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6865d79fca17a80fbd60c12550ca9a5e0e20e0eb"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8b3e221590181a8beb3735bbabf166df02c839b5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f25ec4627d935dedfb5fe83bd2c2678cdcc19611"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-09-16T11:17:03.610"}}
