Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: pcm: Remove channel-map controls before freeing substreams
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 18:01:46 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pm-pmb-4a207d9ef3a3597a74a4-v4-80b0113669b1a62fbbe9@gmail.com> (raw)

A late HDA codec bind on an already registered card builds new PCMs
before registering them. add_std_chmaps() publishes generic channel-map
controls during this BUILD stage. If an earlier chmap succeeds and a
later allocation fails, probe cleanup frees the BUILD PCM while the
card's control device remains accessible.

These generic controls are added directly by snd_pcm_add_chmap_ctls();
snd_hda_ctls_clear() only removes codec-tracked mixer controls. BUILD
devices also skip dev_disconnect. snd_pcm_free_stream() then frees the
substreams before free_chmap() withdraws their generic control:

                                       snd_ctl_elem_read()
                                         down_read(controls_rwsem)
                                         pcm_chmap_ctl_get()
                                           walk freed substream
            free_chmap()
              snd_ctl_remove()
                wait for GET
                                         up_read(controls_rwsem)

The control read lock cannot protect a substream already freed before
control removal starts. The failure above occurs before
snd_card_register(), so the PCM has not transitioned out of BUILD.

Move free_chmap() before the substream free loop. Its snd_ctl_remove()
withdraws the control and drains readers under controls_rwsem before any
substream is released. Normal registered-device disconnect already
removes the control, so the later call remains harmless on that path.
