The clients array references all registered clients and is protected by
the clients_lock. Besides its use as general list of clients the clients
array is accessed in ism_handle_irq() to forward ISM device events to
clients.
While the clients_lock is taken in the IRQ handler when calling
handle_event() it is however incorrectly not held during the
client->handle_irq() call and for the preceding clients[] access leaving
it unprotected against concurrent client (un-)registration.
Furthermore the accesses to ism->sba_client_arr[] in ism_register_dmb()
and ism_unregister_dmb() are not protected by any lock. This is
especially problematic as the client ID from the ism->sba_client_arr[]
is not checked against NO_CLIENT and neither is the client pointer
checked.
Instead of expanding the use of the clients_lock further add a separate
array in struct ism_dev which references clients subscribed to the
device's events and IRQs. This array is protected by ism->lock which is
already taken in ism_handle_irq() and can be taken outside the IRQ
handler when adding/removing subscribers or the accessing
ism->sba_client_arr[]. This also means that the clients_lock is no
longer taken in IRQ context.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
