Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda/core: Fix double free on stream page allocation failure
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 10:44:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028144443.992569-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

Since commit f16eaa38ea64 ("ALSA: hda/core: add cleanup in
snd_hdac_bus_alloc_stream_pages()"), snd_hdac_bus_alloc_stream_pages()
frees the BDL and position buffers it has already allocated when a
later allocation fails.  snd_dma_free_pages() doesn't clear dmab->area,
so the freed buffers still look allocated to
snd_hdac_bus_free_stream_pages(), which the HDA controller drivers call
from their destructors, and they are freed a second time when the
device is removed.

With fault injection failing the CORB/RIRB buffer allocation of
snd-hda-intel on a QEMU ich9-intel-hda, unbinding the device then
crashes:

  page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)
  kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1986!
  Call Trace:
   ___free_pages+0x9b/0xa0
   free_pages_exact+0xa5/0xd0
   snd_hdac_bus_free_stream_pages+0x43/0xb0 [snd_hda_core]
   azx_free+0xb3/0x1b0 [snd_hda_intel]
   azx_dev_free+0xd/0x20 [snd_hda_intel]

Clear the buffer pointers after freeing them in the error path.
