Subject: [PATCH 8/8] ALSA: core: Add missing barriers for power_ref vs card->shutdown
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 15:40:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006134035.478529-9-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006134035.478529-1-tiwai@suse.de>
snd_power_ref_and_wait() increments card->power_ref and then reads
card->shutdown (and the power state) locklessly, while
snd_card_disconnect() sets card->shutdown and then waits for
power_ref to drop to zero via snd_power_sync_ref(). Due to the
missing barrier on both sides, the caller proceeds with shutdown still
seen as false, while the disconnect side sees a zero refcount and
continues tearing down incorrectly.
For addressing the potential race, add smp_mb__after_atomic() after
the refcount increment and smp_mb() before snd_power_sync_ref() in
snd_card_disconnect().
Fixes: e94fdbd7b25d ("ALSA: control: Track in-flight control read/write/tlv accesses")
