When snd_card_diconnect() fires, bus->shutdown is set thanks to azx_dev_disconnect(). card->shutdown is already set when that happens but both provide basically the same functionality. For the DSP snd_soc_avs driver where multiple codecs are located on multiple cards, bus->shutdown 'shortcut' is not sufficient. One codec card may be unregistered while other codecs are still operational. Proper check in form of card->shutdown must be used to verify whether the codec's card is being shut down.

Here's my extensive analysis: ## Technical Analysis ### Core Problem Being Fixed The commit addresses a **shutdown race condition** in multi-codec HDA systems, specifically in DSP/AVS drivers where multiple HDA codecs exist on the same sound card but with separate bus instances. The change modifies line 47 in `sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c`: **Before:** ```c if (codec->bus->shutdown) return; ``` **After:** ```c if (codec->card->shutdown || codec->bus->shutdown) return; ``` ### Why This is a Good Backport Candidate **1. Bug Fix Nature - Small and Contained** - This is a clear **bug fix** addressing a specific shutdown race condition - The change is **minimal** (adding one condition check) and **well- contained** - No architectural changes or new features introduced - Low risk of introducing regressions **2. Critical Subsystem Impact** - Affects **HD-audio subsystem** which is critical for audio functionality - Could prevent system crashes or hangs during shutdown in multi-codec scenarios - Improves system stability during shutdown sequences **3. Technical Correctness** The fix addresses a **fundamental timing issue**: - In multi-codec systems, `card->shutdown` is set at the ALSA core level during `snd_card_disconnect()` - `bus->shutdown` is set later at the HDA controller level during individual codec shutdown - **Gap exists** where unsol events could be processed after card shutdown but before bus shutdown - This can cause codec operations on an already-disconnected sound card **4. Follows Stable Tree Criteria** - **Important bug fix**: Prevents potential system instability during shutdown - **Minimal risk**: Only adds an additional safety check, doesn't change existing logic - **Well-understood**: The change is straightforward and follows existing patterns seen in similar commits - **Confined to subsystem**: Only affects HDA audio subsystem **5. Consistency with Similar Backported Commits** This follows the exact same pattern as the historical commits that were successfully backported: - **Similar Commit #1**: Added `bus->shutdown` check to prevent unsol events during shutdown - **Backported (YES)** - **Similar Commit #2**: Added suspend/resume state check to unsol handler - **Backported (YES)** - **Similar Commit #3**: Added jack disconnection during codec unbind - **Backported (YES)** - **Similar Commit #4**: Added bus_probing flag to serialize codec registration - **Backported (YES)** All these commits follow the same pattern: **small, targeted fixes to prevent race conditions in HDA shutdown/initialization sequences**. **6. Real-World Impact** - Affects **DSP/AVS audio systems** which are increasingly common in modern hardware - Without this fix, systems with multiple audio codecs could experience: - Kernel oops during shutdown - System hangs - Audio subsystem corruption - Unpredictable behavior during reboot sequences ### Risk Assessment **Very Low Risk:** - The change only **adds** a safety check, doesn't remove existing functionality - `card->shutdown` check is used extensively throughout the ALSA subsystem already - Maintains **backward compatibility** completely - If `card->shutdown` is false, behavior is identical to before - No changes to data structures, APIs, or functional logic ### Conclusion This commit represents a **textbook stable backport candidate**: it's a small, well-understood bug fix that addresses a real stability issue in a critical subsystem with minimal risk of regression. The pattern matches multiple previously successful backports in the same subsystem, and the technical merit is clear. sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c b/sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c index 0a83afa5f373c..6625643f333e8 100644 --- a/sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ static void hda_codec_unsol_event(struct hdac_device *dev, unsigned int ev) struct hda_codec *codec = container_of(dev, struct hda_codec, core); /* ignore unsol events during shutdown */ - if (codec->bus->shutdown) + if (codec->card->shutdown || codec->bus->shutdown) return; /* ignore unsol events during system suspend/resume */ -- 2.39.5
