commit 8e6b1a72a75bb5067ccb6b56d8ca4aa3a300a64e upstream.

In loopback_open() and loopback_close(), we assign and release the
substream object to the corresponding cable in a racy way.  It's
neither locked nor done in the right position.  The open callback
assigns the substream before its preparation finishes, hence the other
side of the cable may pick it up, which may lead to the invalid memory
access.

This patch addresses these: move the assignment to the end of the open
callback, and wrap with cable-&gt;lock for avoiding concurrent accesses.

<title>ALSA: aloop: Sync stale timer before release</title>

commit 67a01afaf3d34893cf7d2ea19b34555d6abb7cb0 upstream.

The aloop driver tries to stop the pending timer via timer_del() in
the trigger callback and in the close callback.  The former is
correct, as it's an atomic operation, while the latter expects that
the timer gets really removed and proceeds the resource releases after
that.  But timer_del() doesn't synchronize, hence the running timer
may still access the released resources.

A similar situation can be also seen in the prepare callback after
trigger(STOP) where the prepare tries to re-initialize the things
while a timer is still running.

The problems like the above are seen indirectly in some syzkaller
reports (although it's not 100% clear whether this is the only cause,
as the race condition is quite narrow and not always easy to
trigger).

For addressing these issues, this patch adds the explicit alls of
timer_del_sync() in some places, so that the pending timer is properly
killed / synced.

<title>ALSA: aloop: Fix racy hw constraints adjustment</title>

commit 898dfe4687f460ba337a01c11549f87269a13fa2 upstream.

The aloop driver tries to update the hw constraints of the connected
target on the cable of the opened PCM substream.  This is done by
adding the extra hw constraints rules referring to the substream
runtime-&gt;hw fields, while the other substream may update the runtime
hw of another side on the fly.

This is, however, racy and may result in the inconsistent values when
both PCM streams perform the prepare concurrently.  One of the reason
is that it overwrites the other's runtime-&gt;hw field; which is not only
racy but also broken when it's called before the open of another side
finishes.  And, since the reference to runtime-&gt;hw isn't protected,
the concurrent write may give the partial value update and become
inconsistent.

This patch is an attempt to fix and clean up:
- The prepare doesn't change the runtime-&gt;hw of other side any longer,
  but only update the cable-&gt;hw that is referred commonly.
- The extra rules refer to the loopback_pcm object instead of the
  runtime-&gt;hw.  The actual hw is deduced from cable-&gt;hw.
- The extra rules take the cable_lock to protect against the race.

commit b088b53e20c7d09b5ab84c5688e609f478e5c417 upstream.

The extra hw constraint rule for the formats the aloop driver
introduced has a slight flaw, where it doesn't return a positive value
when the mask got changed.  It came from the fact that it's basically
a copy&amp;paste from snd_hw_constraint_mask64().  The original code is
supposed to be a single-shot and it modifies the mask bits only once
and never after, while what we need for aloop is the dynamic hw rule
that limits the mask bits.

This difference results in the inconsistent state, as the hw_refine
doesn't apply the dependencies fully.  The worse and surprisingly
result is that it causes a crash in OSS emulation when multiple
full-duplex reads/writes are performed concurrently (I leave why it
triggers Oops to readers as a homework).

For fixing this, replace a few open-codes with the standard
snd_mask_*() macros.

commit 9685347aa0a5c2869058ca6ab79fd8e93084a67f upstream.

The aloop runtime object and its assignment in the cable are left even
when opening a substream fails.  This doesn't mean any memory leak,
but it still keeps the invalid pointer that may be referred by the
another side of the cable spontaneously, which is a potential Oops
cause.

Clean up the cable assignment and the empty cable upon the error path
properly.

commit ddce57a6f0a2d8d1bfacfa77f06043bc760403c2 upstream.

Currently the selected timer backend is referred at any moment from
the running PCM callbacks.  When the backend is switched, it's
possible to lead to inconsistency from the running backend.  This was
pointed by syzkaller fuzzer, and the commit [7ee96216c31a: ALSA:
dummy: Disable switching timer backend via sysfs] disabled the dynamic
switching for avoiding the crash.

This patch improves the handling of timer backend switching.  It keeps
the reference to the selected backend during the whole operation of an
opened stream so that it won't be changed by other streams.

Together with this change, the hrtimer parameter is reenabled as
writable now.

NOTE: this patch also turned out to fix the still remaining race.
Namely, ops was still replaced dynamically at dummy_pcm_open:

  static int dummy_pcm_open(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream)
  {
  ....
          dummy-&gt;timer_ops = &amp;dummy_systimer_ops;
          if (hrtimer)
                  dummy-&gt;timer_ops = &amp;dummy_hrtimer_ops;

Since dummy-&gt;timer_ops is common among all streams, and when the
replacement happens during accesses of other streams, it may lead to a
crash.  This was actually triggered by syzkaller fuzzer and KASAN.

This patch rewrites the code not to use the ops shared by all streams
any longer, too.

commit 7ee96216c31aabe1eb42fb91ff50dae9fcd014b2 upstream.

ALSA dummy driver can switch the timer backend between system timer
and hrtimer via its hrtimer module option.  This can be also switched
dynamically via sysfs, but it may lead to a memory corruption when
switching is done while a PCM stream is running; the stream instance
for the newly switched timer method tries to access the memory that
was allocated by another timer method although the sizes differ.

As the simplest fix, this patch just disables the switch via sysfs by
dropping the writable bit.

commit 6408eac2665955343cd0e4bcd7d6237ce39611ed upstream.

The current code may access to the already freed object.  The input
device must be accessed and unregistered before freeing the top level
sound object.

commit edac894389f9c9de2a1368c78809c824b343f3a5 upstream.

snd-aloop driver has no proper PM implementation, thus the PM resume
may trigger Oops due to leftover timer instance.  This patch adds the
missing suspend/resume implementation.
