The patch
ASoC: Fix use-after-free at card unregistration
has been applied to the asoc tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git
All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.
You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.
If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.
Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail.
Thanks, Mark

soc_cleanup_card_resources() call snd_card_free() at the last of its procedure. This turned out to lead to a use-after-free. PCM runtimes have been already removed via soc_remove_pcm_runtimes(), while it's dereferenced later in soc_pcm_free() called via snd_card_free().
The fix is simple: just move the snd_card_free() call to the beginning of the whole procedure. This also gives another benefit: it guarantees that all operations have been shut down before actually releasing the resources, which was racy until now.
