[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ASoC: STI: Fix null ptr deference in IRQ handler
With RTlinux a race condition has been found that leads to NULL ptr crash: - On CPU 0: uni_player_irq_handler is called to treat XRUN "(player->state == UNIPERIF_STATE_STOPPED)" is FALSE so status is checked, dev_err(player->dev, "FIFO underflow error detected") is printed and then snd_pcm_stream_lock should be called to lock stream for stopping. - On CPU 1: application stop and close the stream. Issue is that the stop and shutdown functions are executed while "FIFO underflow error detected" is printed. So when CPU 0 call snd_pcm_stream_lock is player->substream is already null.

Hrm, how the first call of snd_pcm_stream_lock() with player->substream to be guaranteed to be non-NULL?

So no more IRQs after UNIPERIF_STATE_STOPPED state. 3) As stream is cleared after close, i guess that between stop and close following IRQ handler code should be executed
if (player->state == UNIPERIF_STATE_STOPPED) { /* Unexpected IRQ: do nothing */ snd_pcm_stream_unlock(player->substream); return IRQ_NONE; }
Anyway adding a check of player->substream in IRQ handler before locking seems more save.
I will add it in a V2

Well, if the PCM stop happens right after the call of uni_player_irq_handler() but just before the spinlock call, you may still hit NULL dereference.
That is, it's not safe to refer to player->substream unless we ensure non-NULL in other way.

Substream is set to null in snd_pcm_release so after the close. That why i set player->substream to NULL in uni_player_shutdown that corresponds to DAI shutdown op. So should not be possible to race the null condition. Only way should be that stop and close is executed between The uni_player_irq_handler call and the spinlock.

Not use it seems not possible as usage is to call snd_pcm_stop on underrun.

Why? In theory the PCM can be stopped at any time, even if an IRQ is pending. There is no synchronization there in general. That is, when a hardware trigger the IRQ for the period elapse, and the kernel prepares the ISR call. Meanwhile user-space stops the PCM and another CPU executes it at the same time, and this may happen before the IRQ gets actually called.
Yes, the race window is very small, but it's still racy.
That is, it's not safe to refer to player->substream unless we ensure non-NULL in other way.
Not use it seems not possible as usage is to call snd_pcm_stop on underrun.
The problem is that player->substream assignment isn't protected. The spinlock you're taking is already the member of player->substream, so it's not safe to take that lock before player->substream itself is assured.

With RTlinux a race condition has been found that leads to NULL ptr crash:
- On CPU 0: uni_player_irq_handler is called to treat XRUN
"(player->state == UNIPERIF_STATE_STOPPED)" is FALSE so status is checked, dev_err(player->dev, "FIFO underflow error detected") is printed and then snd_pcm_stream_lock should be called to lock stream for stopping.
- On CPU 1: application stop and close the stream.
Issue is that the stop and shutdown functions are executed while "FIFO underflow error detected" is printed. So when CPU 0 call snd_pcm_stream_lock is player->substream is already null.
Hrm, how the first call of snd_pcm_stream_lock() with player->substream to be guaranteed to be non-NULL?
Not sure that it is possible to be 100% save, but player->substream should not be null...
Use case at risk: Stop request occurs just before IRQ.
- IRQ handler locked on snd_pcm_stream_lock(player->substream)
- uni_player_stop clear IRQ flags and set player->state ==
UNIPERIF_STATE_STOPPED. So no more IRQs after UNIPERIF_STATE_STOPPED state. 3) As stream is cleared after close, i guess that between stop and close following IRQ handler code should be executed
if (player->state == UNIPERIF_STATE_STOPPED) { /* Unexpected IRQ: do nothing */ snd_pcm_stream_unlock(player->substream); return IRQ_NONE; }
Anyway adding a check of player->substream in IRQ handler before locking seems more save.
Well, if the PCM stop happens right after the call of uni_player_irq_handler() but just before the spinlock call, you may still hit NULL dereference.
For me this is not possible... please tell me if i missed something.
Substream is set to null in snd_pcm_release so after the close. That why i set player->substream to NULL in uni_player_shutdown that corresponds to DAI shutdown op. So should not be possible to race the null condition. Only way should be that stop and close is executed between The uni_player_irq_handler call and the spinlock.
Why? In theory the PCM can be stopped at any time, even if an IRQ is pending. There is no synchronization there in general. That is, when a hardware trigger the IRQ for the period elapse, and the kernel prepares the ISR call. Meanwhile user-space stops the PCM and another CPU executes it at the same time, and this may happen before the IRQ gets actually called.
Yes, the race window is very small, but it's still racy.
Full agree with the usecase, This is part of the issue observed on RT linux... But my point is that the substream is not released on pcm stop, so substream pointer is still valid. Another point is that this IRQ is not used for period elapse but to inform on IP errors. So no PCM stream management.
That is, it's not safe to refer to player->substream unless we ensure non-NULL in other way.
Not use it seems not possible as usage is to call snd_pcm_stop on underrun.
The problem is that player->substream assignment isn't protected. The spinlock you're taking is already the member of player->substream, so it's not safe to take that lock before player->substream itself is assured.
player->substream is set /clear on open/close so when IP is disable. So no IRQ when player->substream is null. Anyway better to have too much than less protection... What do you suggest? to add a spinlock in driver to protect player->substream?
