From 54911107352dfe04b56828dd9f81fd570c1b76b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minu Jin Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 11:16:20 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] staging: most: video: fix potential race in list iteration There is a pattern in the loops where the lock is dropped to call a specific function and then re-acquired. The list can be exposed during this short gap, creating a potential race condition. This patch fixes the problem by replacing the list head with a local free list using list_replace_init(), instead of using the lock/unlock pattern in the loop.
