CVE-2026-22986

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

gpiolib: fix race condition for gdev->srcu

If two drivers were calling gpiochip_add_data_with_key(), one may be
traversing the srcu-protected list in gpio_name_to_desc(), meanwhile
other has just added its gdev in gpiodev_add_to_list_unlocked().
This creates a non-mutexed and non-protected timeframe, when one
instance is dereferencing and using &gdev->srcu, before the other
has initialized it, resulting in crash:

Move initialization code for gdev fields before it is added to
gpio_devices, with adjacent initialization code.
Adjust goto statements  to reflect modified order of operations

CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.
