[PATCH] ALSA: caiaq: Decoupling ep1_in_urb in caiaq dev
Posted by Edward Adam Davis 3 weeks, 1 day ago
The epq_in_urb object belonging to the caiaq device is coupled within
the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev. After usb_submit_urb(epq_in_urb, GFP_KERNEL)
executes successfully, epq_in_urb is successfully added to the urbp_list
queue of the dummy HCD driver (userspace specifies dummy_hcd as the HCD
layer driver for the caiaq USB device).

When init_card() calls snd_usb_caiaq_send_command() which subsequently
fails due to a timeout, and proceeds to call snd_card_free() to release
the card, the embedded ep1_in_urb object is also freed. When the dummy
HCD driver detects that the URB has been unlinked, it returns the URB
(by usb_hcd_giveback_urb()), which triggers [1].

Decouple the ep1_in_urb object from the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev and switch
to using a pointer instead. Separately allocate and manage the memory for
ep1_in_urb to prevent the release of the snd_card memory object from
interfering with it.

The error check is missing here, as sashiko review pointed out.
Could you fix and resubmit?

(The other issues reported there -- the potential-double-free and the
midi_out_urb handling can be skipped here; I'll fix those
individually.)

I can handle `midi_out_urb` as well.

OK, then let's shoot both URBs in a shot.

[PATCH v3] ALSA: caiaq: Decoupling ep1_in_urb in caiaq dev
Posted by Edward Adam Davis 3 weeks, 1 day ago
The epq_in_urb object belonging to the caiaq device is coupled within
the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev. After usb_submit_urb(epq_in_urb, GFP_KERNEL)
executes successfully, epq_in_urb is successfully added to the urbp_list
queue of the dummy HCD driver (userspace specifies dummy_hcd as the HCD
layer driver for the caiaq USB device).

When init_card() calls snd_usb_caiaq_send_command() which subsequently
fails due to a timeout, and proceeds to call snd_card_free() to release
the card, the embedded ep1_in_urb object is also freed. When the dummy
HCD driver detects that the URB has been unlinked, it returns the URB
(by usb_hcd_giveback_urb()), which triggers [1].

Decouple the ep1_in_urb object from the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev and switch
to using a pointer instead. Separately allocate and manage the memory for
ep1_in_urb to prevent the release of the snd_card memory object from
interfering with it.

midi_out_urb has the same issue as ep1_in_urb and is handled in the same
way.

[PATCH v4] ALSA: caiaq: Decoupling ep1_in_urb in caiaq dev
Posted by Edward Adam Davis 3 weeks, 1 day ago
The epq_in_urb object belonging to the caiaq device is coupled within
the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev. After usb_submit_urb(epq_in_urb, GFP_KERNEL)
executes successfully, epq_in_urb is successfully added to the urbp_list
queue of the dummy HCD driver (userspace specifies dummy_hcd as the HCD
layer driver for the caiaq USB device).

When init_card() calls snd_usb_caiaq_send_command() which subsequently
fails due to a timeout, and proceeds to call snd_card_free() to release
the card, the embedded ep1_in_urb object is also freed. When the dummy
HCD driver detects that the URB has been unlinked, it returns the URB
(by usb_hcd_giveback_urb()), which triggers [1].

Decouple the ep1_in_urb object from the struct snd_usb_caiaqdev and switch
to using a pointer instead. Separately allocate and manage the memory for
ep1_in_urb to prevent the release of the snd_card memory object from
interfering with it.

midi_out_urb has the same issue as ep1_in_urb and is handled in the same
way.

Sounds like an irrelevant detail. Same crash would happen with any HCD.

That's one of the first things usb_submit_urb() below would do,
and has done since forever.

Is clearing this necessary? (I'm not familiar with ALSA)

AFAIK logging on allocation failure is frowned upon.

And what would be the point of that?
