Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: soc-compress: fix use-after-free in soc_compr_trigger_fe() during BE list traversal
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 15:55:10 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000e01dcf3ef$15d69530$4183bf90$@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: CGME20260604065510epcas2p4867ac51f94ba7385d72849b573b44976@epcas2p4.samsung.com
The DPCM compress trigger path traverses the FE's BE client list in
dpcm_be_dai_trigger() without holding card->pcm_mutex, while
dpcm_be_disconnect() can concurrently remove and free entries from
that same list under pcm_mutex protection.
This causes a use-after-free when for_each_dpcm_be() advances to the
next list node after releasing a BE's stream lock between iterations,
and the snd_soc_dpcm entry has already been kfree()'d by a concurrent
dpcm_be_disconnect() call.
Crash signature observed:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dead0000000000e8
Call trace:
dpcm_be_dai_trigger+0x90/0x3f0
soc_compr_trigger_fe+0xa8/0x144
snd_compr_ioctl+0xc98/0x2010
__arm64_sys_ioctl+0x164/0x784
Race condition timeline:
Thread A (soc_compr_trigger_fe):
snd_soc_card_mutex_lock() <- holds card->mutex only
dpcm_be_dai_trigger()
for_each_dpcm_be(fe, stream, dpcm) {
snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave_nested(be_substream);
...
snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irqrestore(be_substream);
/* WINDOW: next iteration reads dpcm->list_be.next */
}
Thread B (snd_soc_dpcm_runtime_update via DAPM):
snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_lock() <- holds card->pcm_mutex
dpcm_be_disconnect()
snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq(fe_substream);
list_del(&dpcm->list_be); <- removes from list
snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irq();
kfree(dpcm); <- frees the struct
The PCM trigger path (dpcm_fe_dai_trigger) is protected against this
race by checking runtime_update and deferring to trigger_pending when
a concurrent update is in progress. The compress trigger path
(soc_compr_trigger_fe) lacks this deferred-trigger mechanism, so the
only correct fix is to hold pcm_mutex for the duration of the BE list
traversal, as is done in all other compress FE operations such as
soc_compr_open_fe() and soc_compr_set_params().
