Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: pcm: Serialize and check HW_REFINE ioctls
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 18:52:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pm-pmb-b3f7b3445bb11aaa9a7b-v3-371faafc2599ec7fa136@gmail.com> (raw)
Hardware refinement must reject disconnected streams before entering
their runtime constraint rules. The native ioctl checks the state at
the outer dispatch, before copying the parameters, while the compat
HW_REFINE32 path only checks that the runtime exists. Both call the
unlocked refinement helper without the buffer access lock used by
HW_PARAMS.
The BUFFER_BYTES rule keeps a substream pointer as its private payload.
A compat request can still enter that rule after component disconnect.
If component free overlaps its execution, the following order permits
a use-after-free read of buffer_bytes_max:
Component cleanup Compat HW_REFINE
----------------- ----------------
snd_pcm_dev_disconnect()
Runtime -> DISCONNECTED
Enter compat ioctl
snd_pcm_hw_refine()
Enter BUFFER_BYTES rule
snd_device_free()
snd_pcm_free_stream()
Free substream
Read buffer_bytes_max
Add a wrapper that acquires the existing buffer access lock and checks
the same allowed states and mmap conditions as HW_PARAMS before running
the refinement rules. Share the state checker with snd_pcm_hw_params()
and use the wrapper for native, compat and legacy PCM HW_REFINE ioctls.
This rejects the described entry after disconnect and serializes these
refinement calls with other buffer-locked parameter operations.
Keep the original snd_pcm_hw_refine() helper for existing internal
callers, including snd_pcm_hw_params() which already holds the buffer
lock, to avoid locking that mutex recursively.
KASAN report as below:

Changes in v2:
- Use the buffer-lock and state-check wrapper for all three PCM HW_REFINE
ioctl paths, as Takashi suggested.
- Share the HW_PARAMS state check and keep the original helper for existing
locked callers.
