Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ALSA: seq: oss: Serialize readq reset state with q->lock
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 08:48:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614004801.3507773-1-zzzccc427@gmail.com> (raw)

snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() resets qlen, head, and tail without
q->lock even though the normal reader and producer paths serialize the
same ring state under that spinlock. A reset can therefore race
snd_seq_oss_readq_free() or snd_seq_oss_readq_put_event() and leave
stale records in the queue, drop freshly queued ones, or report the
wrong readiness after wakeup. KCSAN reports a data race between
snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() and snd_seq_oss_readq_free().

Take q->lock while clearing the ring and resetting input_time. Factor
the enqueue logic into a caller-locked helper so
snd_seq_oss_readq_put_timestamp() updates its suppression state under
the same lock instead of racing the reset path.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:

reset path:                      locked readq updater:
1. snd_seq_oss_reset() or        1. A reader or callback producer
   release reaches                  takes q->lock on the same queue.
   snd_seq_oss_readq_clear().
2. snd_seq_oss_readq_clear()     2. The updater tests or modifies
   resets qlen, head, tail,         qlen, head, and tail.
   and input_time.
3. snd_seq_oss_readq_clear()     3. The updater completes its
   wakes sleepers on                read-modify-write sequence.
   q->midi_sleep.
4. Without q->lock, the reset    4. The resulting ring state drives
   can overlap the locked           later reads and readiness.
   update.

KCSAN reports:
