If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Robb Glasser commit 362bca57f5d78220f8b5907b875961af9436e229 upstream. When the device descriptor is closed, the `substream->runtime` pointer is freed. But another thread may be in the ioctl handler, case SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_INFO. This case calls snd_pcm_info_user() which calls snd_pcm_info() which accesses the now freed `substream->runtime`.
