[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: topology: Use the correct dobj to free enum control values and texts
The control values and texts of the enum kcontrol associated with a widget need to be freed when the widget is removed. However, both struct snd_soc_dapm_widget and struct soc_enum contain a dobj member, which resulted in a confusion. The existing code generates a null pointer dereference by attempting to free the values and texts from the dobj which belongs to the widget instead of the dobj belonging to the enum kcontrol.
The suggested fix is to use the correct dobj member (se->dobj) of the enum kcontrol.

The patch
ASoC: topology: Use the correct dobj to free enum control values and texts
has been applied to the asoc tree at
https://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
