In order to support EXCLUSIVE mode, it is necessary to convert the /dev/snd/ descriptor to an anon_inode:dmabuffer file descriptor. SELinux allows that file descriptor to be passed to the client. It can also be used by the AAudioService.
Okay, so this is probably the only point which we should resolve for the already available DMA buffer sharing in ALSA (the O_APPEND flag).
I had another glance to your dma-buf implementation and I see many things which might cause problems:
- allow to call dma-buf ioctls only when the audio device is in specific
state (stream is not running)
Right. Will fix.
- as Takashi mentioned, if we return another file-descriptor (dma-buf
export) to the user space and the server closes the main pcm file-descriptor (the client does not) - the result will be a crash (dma buffer will be freed, but referenced through the dma-buf interface)
Yes, will fix.
There are a few more overlooked problems. A part of them was already mentioned in my previous reply, but let me repeat:
The racy ioctls have to be considered; you can perform this export ioctl concurrently, and both of them write and mix up the setup, which is obviously broken.
The PCM buffer can be re-allocated on the fly. If the current buffer is abandoned while exporting, it leads to the UAF.
Similarly, what if the PCM stream that is attached is closed without detaching itself? Or, what if the PCM stream attaches itself twice without detaching?
The driver may provide its own mmap method, and you can't hard-code the mmap implementation as currently in snd_pcm_dmabuf_mmap().
I suppose you can drop of most of the code in snd_pcm_dmabuf_map(), instead, assign PCM substream in obj, and call snd_pcm_mmap_data() with the given VMA. If this really works, it manages the mmap refcount, so the previous two issues should be covered there. But it needs more consideration...
Erm, obviously it's not enough. Each attach / detach needs to manage the refcount, too, for covering the cases above. It can re-use the PCM mmap_refount, though.
But we've used the DMA buffer file's refcounting to manage the DMA buffer. So is this not enough?
Unless you manage the PCM substream refcount (or block the state change), the PCM stream itself can be released (or re-setup) freely.
