f_audio_free() tears down the f_audio structure without cancelling
playback_work or draining the play_queue. The pending work can fire
after the structure is freed, and queued audio buffers leak.
Cancel the work, walk the play_queue to free every queued buffer, and
free copy_buf when it was not already queued. When f_audio_set_alt()
is called with alt 0 it queues copy_buf to play_queue without clearing
audio->copy_buf, so the drain detects this and clears the pointer to
prevent a double free. Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL for the final copy_buf check
because f_audio_buffer_alloc() returns ERR_PTR on failure and
f_audio_set_alt() stores the result directly in audio->copy_buf.

Changes in v3:
- Fix double-free of copy_buf: when f_audio_set_alt(alt=0) queues
copy_buf to play_queue without clearing audio->copy_buf, the drain
now detects this and clears the pointer before freeing
- Change copy_buf NULL check to IS_ERR_OR_NULL because
f_audio_buffer_alloc() returns ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on failure
Changes in v2:
- Drain play_queue and free copy_buf in addition to cancelling work

usb: gadget: f_uac1_legacy: cancel playback work and drain buffers on free
This commit updates f_audio_free() to cancel pending playback work, drain and
free any buffers remaining on play_queue, and free audio->copy_buf during
gadget teardown.

[Severity: Critical]
Can this still double-free audio->copy_buf if f_audio_playback_work()
already dequeued and freed it before f_audio_free() drains play_queue?
When f_audio_set_alt() is called with alt == 0 on the AudioStreaming
interface, it queues audio->copy_buf onto audio->play_queue and schedules
playback_work without clearing audio->copy_buf:
struct f_audio_buf *copy_buf = audio->copy_buf;
if (copy_buf) {
list_add_tail(©_buf->list,
&audio->play_queue);
schedule_work(&audio->playback_work);
}
A similar situation occurs in f_audio_out_ep_complete() if audio->copy_buf
is queued onto audio->play_queue and the subsequent f_audio_buffer_alloc()
fails and returns -ENOMEM before updating audio->copy_buf:
if (audio_buf_size - copy_buf->actual < req->actual) {
spin_lock_irq(&audio->lock);
list_add_tail(©_buf->list, &audio->play_queue);
spin_unlock_irq(&audio->lock);
schedule_work(&audio->playback_work);
copy_buf = f_audio_buffer_alloc(audio_buf_size);
if (IS_ERR(copy_buf))
return -ENOMEM;
}
When f_audio_playback_work() runs (either before f_audio_free() is called,
or while cancel_work_sync(&audio->playback_work) waits for it to finish),
it removes the buffer from audio->play_queue and frees it without clearing
audio->copy_buf:
play_buf = list_first_entry(&audio->play_queue,
struct f_audio_buf, list);
list_del(&play_buf->list);
spin_unlock_irq(&audio->lock);
u_audio_playback(&audio->card, play_buf->buf, play_buf->actual);
f_audio_buffer_free(play_buf);
Because the buffer is no longer in audio->play_queue when f_audio_free()
walks the list, audio->copy_buf is never set to NULL, and the subsequent
f_audio_buffer_free(audio->copy_buf) call reads and frees the already-freed
buffer a second time.
