Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] ALSA: core: Serialize deferred fasync state checks
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 12:46:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513164626.3816356-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026051257-shopping-sitcom-fcf1@gregkh>

From: Cássio Gabriel <cassiogabrielcontato@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 5337213381df578058e2e41da93cbd0e4639935f ]

snd_fasync_helper() updates fasync->on under snd_fasync_lock, and
snd_fasync_work_fn() now also evaluates fasync->on under the same
lock. snd_kill_fasync() still tests the flag before taking the lock,
leaving an unsynchronized read against FASYNC enable/disable updates.

Move the enabled-state check into the locked section.

Also clear fasync->on under snd_fasync_lock in snd_fasync_free()
before unlinking the pending entry. Together with the locked sender-side
check, this publishes teardown before flushing the deferred work and
prevents a racing sender from requeueing the entry after free has
started.

Fixes: ef34a0ae7a26 ("ALSA: core: Add async signal helpers")
Fixes: 8146cd333d23 ("ALSA: core: Fix potential data race at fasync handling")
