The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a race condition on the lock screen between password verification and fingerprint recognition. Previously, if a fingerprint scan result arrived while a password was being verified, the two flows could interfere with each other. The fix adds checks to ignore or delay fingerprint operations whenever a password verification loading screen is active, and cancels any ongoing fingerprint operation when that loading screen appears.

Recommended action

Treat as a security-relevant bug fix. Review whether similar race conditions exist between other authentication flows (e.g., PIN vs fingerprint, passphrase vs fingerprint). Verify that FpCancelCurOperate() reliably aborts the sensor and that no stale fingerprint events can still be queued after cancellation. Consider regression testing lock/unlock sequences with rapid fingerprint and password interactions.
