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 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.

commit d4f1e48bd11e3df6a26811f7a1f06c4225d92f7d upstream.

When the loopback timer handler is running, calling del_timer() (for STOP
trigger) will not wait for the handler to complete before deactivating the
timer. The timer gets rescheduled in the handler as usual. Then a subsequent
START trigger will try to start the timer using add_timer() with a timer pending
leading to a kernel panic.

Serialize the calls to add_timer() and del_timer() using a spin lock to avoid
this.

commit bc733d495267a23ef8660220d696c6e549ce30b3 upstream.

The irq field of struct snd_mpu401 is supposed to be initialized to -1.
Since it's set to zero as of now, a probing error before the irq
installation results in a kernel warning "Trying to free already-free
IRQ 0".
