Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: compress: Fix task resource leak on copy_to_user() failure
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 11:04:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113110427.4256-1-sreekuttan2156239@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113104518.3951-1-sreekuttan2156239@gmail.com>
The task creation path allocates resources and installs file descriptors
before copying the task information back to userspace.
If copy_to_user() fails, the function returns -EFAULT without releasing
the allocated task, DMA-BUF references, or file descriptors. This
leaves the task registered and leaks resources.
Delay fd_install() until copy_to_user() succeeds. If the copy fails,
release the reserved file descriptors and their DMA-BUF references,
then free the task using snd_compr_task_free_one().
This ensures that task resources are properly released when copying
task information to userspace fails.
