CVE-2026-64602: iio: adc: spear: Initialize completion before requesting IRQ

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: adc: spear: Initialize completion before requesting IRQ

In the report from Jaeyoung Chung:

"spear_adc_probe() in drivers/iio/adc/spear_adc.c registers its
interrupt handler with devm_request_irq() before it initializes
st->completion with init_completion(). If an interrupt arrives after
devm_request_irq() and before init_completion(), the handler calls
complete() on an uninitialized completion, causing a kernel panic.

The probe path, in spear_adc_probe():

    iodev = devm_iio_device_alloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*st)); /* st kzalloc-zeroed */
    ...
    retval = devm_request_irq(&pdev->dev, irq, spear_adc_isr, 0,
                              LPC32XXAD_NAME, st);           /* register handler */
    ...
    init_completion(&st->completion);                       /* initialize completion */

spear_adc_isr() calls complete():

    complete(&st->completion);

If the device raises an interrupt before init_completion() runs,
complete() acquires the uninitialized wait.lock and walks the zeroed
task_list in swake_up_locked(). The zeroed task_list makes list_empty()
return false, so swake_up_locked() dereferences a NULL list entry,
triggering a KASAN wild-memory-access."

Fix the chance of a spurious IRQ causing an uninitialized pointer
dereference by moving init_completion() above devm_request_irq().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-64602 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
