The native sequencer ioctl path serializes handler calls with
client->ioctl_mutex, but the translated port-info compat path invokes the
same handlers through snd_seq_kernel_client_ctl() without taking that
mutex.
This lets concurrent compat CREATE_PORT requests pass the port-count
check before any request reaches the serialized insertion. The computed
integer port index can then exceed the address field range and wrap to an
existing index. Subsequent subscriber teardown can resolve the duplicate
address to the wrong port and access a freed subscriber.
Take ioctl_mutex while dispatching converted port-info requests, matching
the native ioctl path. All translated port-info commands share this
helper, so their accesses to the client port state are serialized as
well.

ASoC: Fixes for v7.3
A relatively large pile of fixes here, a lot of driver specific stuff
that's broadly unremarkable plus a few core fixes from Richard that fix
issues where SoundWire systems with multiple CODECs on the same link
would configure the CODECs to use the same bus slots leading to broken
audio.

snd_pcm_timer_init() calls snd_device_register() to link the new
struct snd_timer into the global timer list while it still carries
hw.c_resolution = snd_pcm_timer_resolution (and hw.start/hw.stop),
and only afterwards sets timer->private_data = substream.
Once the timer is on the list under register_mutex, a concurrent
reader can already reach it through the same mutex and invoke these
callbacks. /proc/asound/timers does this via c_resolution(), and
snd_timer_open()+snd_timer_start() reach start()/stop() the same way.
All three dereference timer->private_data, which for this brief
window is NULL, giving a NULL-pointer dereference:
substream = timer->private_data;
return substream->runtime ? ... // substream is NULL
Move the private_data/private_free assignment before
snd_device_register() so the timer is never visible on the list
without its private_data set. On the snd_device_register() failure
path, private_free() (snd_pcm_timer_free()) can now run, but it only
does substream->timer = NULL, which is already NULL at that point
since substream->timer is set to the new timer just once, after a
successful registration -- so the failure path stays safe.

Usually a sound driver releases the resources assigned to the card via
snd_card_free(), and it synchronizes with the whole release procedure.
However, when the card is released asynchronously via
snd_card_free_when_closed() like USB-audio driver, the situation is
slightly different; although the snd_card_disconnect() call at the
disconnection guarantees that any newer accesses will be gated, the
in-flight tasks might be still accessing to the underlying card->dev
device even after the disconnection, which would cause a
use-after-free in the end, as reported by fuzzers.
For addressing the bug above, this patch takes the refcount of
card->dev at initialization of the card object, and releases at its
destructor. This assures the availability of the card->dev in its
whole lifecycle.

This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc()
family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci
This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first
kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the
first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h
scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's
"--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped
to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control
flow indicator I could find.
Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc,
riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

The snd_rawmidi_input_params() computes err for the three invalid mode
combinations and for resize_runtime_buffer(), applies the new framing
and clock type only when err is zero, and then returns 0 anyway. A
caller that asked for parameters the kernel rejected is told the change
succeeded, and the substream keeps its old buffer.
The open_mutex conversion turned the early returns into assignments.
It handled the output sibling correctly, which still returns err, and
left this one behind.

snd_ump_parse_endpoint() sets ump->parsed on every exit, including
error, before the caller attaches the legacy rawmidi device.
ump_handle_ep_name_msg() then treats parsed as "legacy_rmidi is live"
and calls ump_legacy_set_rawmidi_name(), which snprintf()s into
ump->legacy_rmidi->name. If a UMP packet arrives in that window
(IRQ path from snd_ump_receive), legacy_rmidi is still NULL
(KASAN null-ptr-deref in snprintf).
Guard the legacy helpers. parsed only means endpoint info was
parsed, not that legacy_rmidi exists.

snd_pcm_hw_params() and snd_pcm_hw_free() guard buffer reallocation
with an mmap_count check performed under the PCM stream lock, but the
lock is released long before the buffer is actually freed:
snd_pcm_sync_stop(), constraint refinement and do_free_pages() all
happen in between. snd_pcm_mmap_data(), on the other hand, takes no
lock at all: it validates against the old buffer's state and
dma_bytes, remaps its pages into the VMA, and only then increments
mmap_count.
A concurrent mmap() can therefore slip in between the check and the
free. remap_pfn_range() installs writable PTEs for the old buffer's
pages without taking page references, and the subsequent
do_free_pages() returns those pages to the page allocator while the
VMA still maps them. This leaves a stale, writable mapping of freed
pages: a page-level use-after-free that can be leveraged for local
privilege escalation.
Make snd_pcm_mmap_data() participate in the buffer-access scheme
introduced for hw_params/hw_free: acquire runtime->buffer_accessing
before validating and remapping, and release it afterwards. Buffer
reallocation already fails with -EBUSY while accessors are active,
and the mmap side now fails with -EBUSY while a reallocation is in
progress, so the validate/remap sequence and the check/free sequence
can no longer interleave.
A reproducer that turns this race into a stale writable mapping of
the freed DMA buffer pages is available on request.

We protect the races of the concurrent state transitions between
atomic PCM ops, but the checks between the non-atomic ops (hw_params,
hw_free and prepare) and the atomic ops aren't perfect; there is a
check of the conflicting PCM state at the beginning of hw_params & co,
but the atomic PCM ops can be still issued during the non-atomic PCM
operations. An example such scenario is that a thread A re-issues the
PREPARE or HW_PARAMS for the already prepared stream, while another
thread B triggers the PCM start in the middle of the prepare
operation. Although this usually doesn't lead to much serious issues,
it can give some inconsistency as reported by syzkaller (such as
ODEBUG warning).
There are various atomic PCM ops, and basically the only problem is
the PCM start as it operates from the PREPARED state. Other trigger
commands (stop, etc) are for the running or the other special state,
hence they are filtered as pre-condition.
This patch is for preventing the PCM trigger-start during the non-
atomic operations in order to address the problems above.
Fortunately, the hw_params, hw_free and prepare operations call
snd_pcm_buffer_access_lock(), and this can be used for checking the
concurrent operations at the PCM trigger -- which sets the
runtime->buffer_accessing to a negative (if possible), so the PCM
trigger just needs to check the runtime->buffer_accessing value; if
it's negative, it means the concurrent non-atomic PCM ops is running.

The kcontrol LED state layer tries to track the all associated
kcontrol elements with naive assumptions that they are readable.
But one can create a write-only element that has no get callback (even
a user element can do it), and this may lead to a NULL dereference at
the call chain of snd_ctl_led_notify(), as found by syzkaller.
For avoiding the Oops, add a sanity check of the kcontrol's info and
get callbacks, and just skip the invalid kcontrols before assigning
the kctl to the LED layer.

While we attempted to work around the false-positive lockdep warning
due to the nested mutex lock in rawmidi at the open path for a UMP
legacy rawmidi, it didn't cover the similar locking at its close path,
and this still caused another false-positive reports by syzkaller.
Add a similar workaround to snd_rawmidi_kernel_release() as done in
the former commit 9c04742e73b3 ("ALSA: rawmidi: Work around
false-positive mutex lockdep warning") to cover completely.

prep_compound_tail()

- "mm/damon: update probe hits for runtime parameter commits" (SJ Park)
Ensure that DAMON's probe_hits attribute counter is properly updated
when monitoring intervals are changed at runtime, matching the
behavior of nr_accesses. To achieve this, it refactors and renames
existing helper functions for shared use, applies the updates to
probe_hits, and handles edge cases in damon_probe_hits_mvsum() to
maintain measurement accuracy.
- "KSM: performance optimizations for rmap_walk_ksm" (xu xin)
Resolve a severe KSM reverse-mapping performance bottleneck where
thousands of split VMAs sharing a single anon_vma cause extended lock
contention.
By adding an interval-filtering check during the rmap walk, it
reduces worst-case anon_vma lock hold times from over 500ms down to
under 2ms, preventing application freezes and latency spikes under
memory pressure.
- "mm: split a couple of headers from internal.h" (Mike Rapoport)
Split declarations related to mm_init, memblock, vmalloc and sparse
into new headers
- "KSM: use linear_page_index in collect_procs_ksm()" (xu xin)
Apply the interval tree optimization from rmap_walk_ksm() to
collect_procs_ksm() to avoid iterating over non-matching VMAs during
KSM memory error handling.
It hoists loop-invariant address initialization and restricts the
anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach walk to a targeted page offset range,
reducing redundant checks and improving lookup efficiency.
- "selftests/mm: avoid false failures in hugetlb and KSM tests" (Sayali
Patil)
Fix issues in the hugetlb and KSM MM selftest categories that can
report failures when the prerequisites for the tests are not
satisfied
- "mm/damon: introduce data attributes only monitoring" (SJ Park)
Introduce attribute-weighted region management in DAMON, allowing
users to prioritize specific data attributes (such as page sizes or
cgroups) over or instead of access monitoring.
By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely
disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on
weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for
attribute-focused workloads.
- "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings"
(Stanislav Kinsburskii)
Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by
allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new
hmm_range_fault_locked() helper.
By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock
release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd
regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers.
- "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes)
Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and
manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel
It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(),
vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while
renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their
functionality.
These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that
will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd
folios.
- "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif)
Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk
callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries
created during HMM migrations
It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock()

A use-after-free was detected in snd_card_do_free() when a sound card
managed by devres is unbound while a user-space application still holds an
open file descriptor.
For managed cards, the memory is allocated using devres_alloc(), and its
release function is set to __snd_card_release(), which calls
snd_card_free(). When the device is unbound, the unbind thread calls
snd_card_free(), which drops a reference to the card's device. If the user
thread still has an open file descriptor, the reference count does not
reach zero, and the unbind thread blocks on wait_for_completion(&released).
When the user thread closes the file descriptor, it drops the final
reference, invoking the device release callback release_card_device(),
which calls snd_card_do_free(). snd_card_do_free() performs cleanup and
calls complete(card->release_completion). This wakes up the unbind thread,
which returns from snd_card_free() and __snd_card_release(). The devres
core then immediately frees the memory block containing the snd_card
structure.
Meanwhile, the user thread continues execution in snd_card_do_free() and
evaluates `if (!card->managed)`. It reads the `managed` boolean from the
snd_card structure that was just freed by the unbind thread, triggering a
KASAN use-after-free.
Fix this by caching the value of card->managed in a local variable before
calling complete(). This ensures that the card pointer is not dereferenced
after the unbind thread has been woken up and potentially freed the card.

snd_midi_input_event() must not be running while a rawmidi substream is
closing, since this can lead to the trigger state becoming out-of-step
through this sequence in snd_rawmidi_input_trigger():
snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(up=0)
snd_midi_input_event()
-> snd_rawmidi_kernel_read()
-> snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(up=1)
-> cancel_work_sync()
which ends with the underlying device being active unexpectedly.
When this is called from close_substream(), further input can re-trigger
the input event leaving it running after rawmidi_release_priv() has set
rfile->rmidi to NULL which leads to:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000b0
Call trace:

Apply a similar approach to commit ef7607ab1c8ad ("ALSA: seq: midi:
Serialize output teardown with event_input") which fixed the same issue
in the output direction, but updated to use RCU following Takashi Iwai's
proposed follow-on patch [1].
With this change in place, midisynth_unsubscribe() clears the input file
so snd_midi_input_event() will not re-trigger the stream and will be
quiesced by the cancel_work_sync() in snd_rawmidi_input_trigger().

The recent fix for serializing the output teardown introduced a
spinlock invocation at every MIDI output event via event_process_midi.
Since this is a hot path, let's do performance optimization with RCU.
The new output_substream __rcu pointer is published via
rcu_assign_pointer() in midisynth_use() after output_rfile is set, and
cleared in midisynth_unuse() before the resource teardown.
event_process_midi() reads it under rcu_read_lock() and bumps
output_use_lock inside that section, which is necessary to close the
window between the pointer dereference and the refcount increment.
midisynth_unuse() calls synchronize_rcu() before snd_use_lock_sync():
this guarantees that any reader who obtained a non-NULL pointer has
already called atomic_inc (output_use_lock), so the subsequent
snd_use_lock_sync() sees the correct in-flight count.

The struct describes a bounce payload of an error code followed by the
original event and its external data. No kernel has ever sent that.
Before commit efc86691e4d8 ("ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in
bounce_error_event()") the kernel emitted no SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE at
all, and since then it sends the event record alone.
Nothing has ever read it either. Its only accessor,
snd_seq_event_bounce_ext_data(), has had no caller for the whole git
history, and it did not even compile until commit c7e0b5bf9fff ("[ALSA]
Remove xxx_t typedefs: Sequencer") incidentally repaired the type name
it referred to, three years after the git import. Drop the accessor
along with the struct.
This removes a definition from a UAPI header. Since no kernel ever
produced the layout, nothing can have parsed it, but a program that
merely names the type will need to stop.

The bounce_error_event() embeds the failed event in the bounce payload
by pointing data.ext.ptr at it. When that event is a queued
variable-length event, its own data.ext.ptr holds the address of its
first extension cell, put there by snd_seq_event_dup(). The payload
goes out verbatim through snd_seq_expand_var_event(), so the address
reaches userspace.
That is the same address commit 705dd6dcbc0e ("ALSA: seq: Clear
variable event pointer on read") removed from the event header. The
read path still clears it there, just above the call that expands the
payload.
Embed a sanitised copy instead, treated exactly as snd_seq_read()
treats the header. A stack copy is enough because delivery is
synchronous and snd_seq_event_dup() copies before returning.
An unprivileged client reaches this by setting SNDRV_SEQ_FILTER_BOUNCE,
queueing a variable-length event to a port that does not exist and
reading the bounce back. Eight bytes on 64-bit, from its own pool.

The UMP sequencer client protects its output rawmidi file (out_rfile)
with an rwlock (output_lock). seq_ump_process_event(), the port's
event_input callback, reads out_rfile.output under read_lock on every
delivered UMP event, while the open/close paths (serialized by
ump->open_mutex) publish and clear out_rfile under write_lock.
Output is opened/closed only on the subscribe/use lifecycle while
delivery happens per event, so this is another read-mostly hot path.
Convert it to RCU and drop the rwlock. out_rfile is an embedded struct
rather than a pointer, so instead of restructuring it, add an
RCU-protected shadow of the substream (out_substream) for the reader;
out_rfile itself becomes writer-only state accessed solely under
open_mutex. The reader now runs lock-free under rcu_read_lock() via
rcu_dereference(), and open publishes the substream with
rcu_assign_pointer().
On close the substream is cleared with rcu_assign_pointer(NULL) and the
rawmidi is released only after synchronize_rcu(), so no reader in the
delivery path can still be writing to the substream when
snd_rawmidi_kernel_release() runs.
Dropping write_lock_irqsave() from the writers is safe: they run in
process context under open_mutex, and the sole atomic reader now uses
RCU, which is IRQ-safe.

Each virmidi device keeps a list of its opened input files (filelist)
protected by both an rwlock (filelist_lock) and a rw_semaphore
(filelist_sem). snd_virmidi_dev_receive_event() walks the list on the
sequencer event input path -- read_lock() when the event is delivered in
atomic context, down_read() otherwise -- decoding each incoming event
into the file's rawmidi buffer. The writers (input open/close) take both
locks to add/remove entries.
This is another typical dual-lock read-mostly pattern as the port
subscriber list: files are opened/closed rarely while the receive
callback runs per event. Let's convert the traversal to RCU and drop
the rwlock; the existing filelist_sem keeps serializing the writers.
The atomic input path now runs lock-free under rcu_read_lock(), and
both readers share a single list_for_each_entry_rcu() (valid under the
rwsem via lockdep_is_held()). The writers switch to
list_add_tail_rcu() / list_del_rcu().
snd_virmidi_input_close() freed the entry (parser and struct)
immediately after list_del. A concurrent lockless reader in the atomic
path may still be dereferencing it, so the close path now waits for an
RCU grace period after list_del_rcu() before freeing; synchronize_rcu()
is used rather than kfree_rcu() because the parser must also be released
after the grace period, not just the struct. Non-atomic readers are
already excluded by the down_write, so only the atomic RCU readers need
the grace period.
Dropping write_lock_irq() from the writers is safe: no writer runs in
atomic/IRQ context, and the sole atomic reader now uses RCU, which is
IRQ-safe.

The sequencer keeps a global table of clients (clienttab[]) indexed by
client id, protected by the global clients_lock spinlock. The lookup
snd_seq_client_use_ptr() reads a slot and takes a use_lock reference on
the client, and this runs on the event delivery hot path: every
dispatched event resolves its destination (and often source) client
through it. The spinlock's only job on the read side is to make the
"pointer is non-NULL" test and the reference increment indivisible with
respect to the writer that nulls the slot and then drains the refcount.
Clients come and go rarely but delivery happens constantly, so this is
yet another read-mostly case as the port and subscriber lists.
Convert the table to RCU: the read side now runs lock-free under
rcu_read_lock() and takes the use_lock reference via
rcu_dereference(), removing contention on the single global spinlock
from the delivery path. The writers keep clients_lock (still needed
to serialize slot allocation) and publish / unpublish via
rcu_assign_pointer(); creation and destruction remain serialized at a
higher level by register_mutex.
As with the ports, the client is not freed via kfree_rcu(): its lifetime
is governed by the use_lock refco |
