Summary
dibs: initialise dibs->lock in dibs_dev_alloc()
Details

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

dibs: initialise dibs->lock in dibs_dev_alloc()

dibs->lock is initialised by dibs_dev_add(), but a dibs device can already take interrupts before that call: ism_probe() runs ism_dev_init(), and hence request_irq(), before it calls dibs_dev_add(). No client can have registered a dmb at that point, so no dmb interrupt can occur, but a GID event interrupt can, and ism_handle_irq() takes dibs->lock unconditionally on entry, before it inspects anything else.

Initialise the lock in dibs_dev_alloc() instead, so that it is valid as soon as a driver can publish the device to its interrupt handler.
