Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: caiaq: Decoupling ep1_in_urb in caiaq dev
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 18:04:10 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903100410.541828-1-eadavis@sina.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903094105.539519-1-eadavis@sina.com>

The epq_in_urb object belonging to the caiaq device is coupled within
the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev. After usb_submit_urb(epq_in_urb, GFP_KERNEL)
executes successfully, epq_in_urb is successfully added to the urbp_list
queue of the dummy HCD driver (userspace specifies dummy_hcd as the HCD
layer driver for the caiaq USB device).

When init_card() calls snd_usb_caiaq_send_command() which subsequently
fails due to a timeout, and proceeds to call snd_card_free() to release
the card, the embedded ep1_in_urb object is also freed. When the dummy
HCD driver detects that the URB has been unlinked, it returns the URB
(by usb_hcd_giveback_urb()), which triggers [1].

Decouple the ep1_in_urb object from the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev and switch
to using a pointer instead. Separately allocate and manage the memory for
ep1_in_urb to prevent the release of the snd_card memory object from
interfering with it.

midi_out_urb has the same issue as ep1_in_urb and is handled in the same
way.
