Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: caiaq: take a reference on the USB device in create_card()
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 07:59:04 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410045904.1064020-3-berkcgoksel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260410045904.1064020-1-berkcgoksel@gmail.com>
The caiaq driver stores a pointer to the parent USB device in
cdev->chip.dev but never takes a reference on it. The card's
private_free callback, snd_usb_caiaq_card_free(), can run
asynchronously via snd_card_free_when_closed() after the USB
device has already been disconnected and freed, so any access to
cdev->chip.dev in that path dereferences a freed usb_device.
On top of the refcounting issue, the current card_free implementation
calls usb_reset_device(cdev->chip.dev). A reset in a free callback
is inappropriate: the device is going away, the call takes the
device lock in a teardown context, and the reset races with the
disconnect path that the callback is already cleaning up after.
Take a reference on the USB device in create_card() with
usb_get_dev(), drop it with usb_put_dev() in the free callback,
and remove the usb_reset_device() call.
