Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] ALSA: compress: fix buffer leak on failed SET_PARAMS
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:45:30 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019144533.30665-2-peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019144533.30665-1-peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com>

When the driver has neither ops->copy nor a preallocated dma_buffer_p,
snd_compr_allocate_buffer() kmallocs runtime->buffer. If
ops->set_params() then rejects the parameters, SET_PARAMS fails, the
stream stays in the OPEN state and keeps the buffer. The next
SET_PARAMS allocates a new buffer and overwrites the pointer, so
repeated SET_PARAMS calls with parameters that the driver rejects leak
one buffer per call.

Release the framework-owned buffer when ops->set_params() fails on an
OPEN stream, so that a failed SET_PARAMS leaves no buffer behind and
the buffer is allocated only once per successful setup. Use the same
ownership check as snd_compr_free().
