[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2] ASoC: dapm: delete dapm_kcontrol_data paths list before freeing it
dapm_kcontrol_data is freed as part of dapm_kcontrol_free(), leaving the paths pointer dangling in the list.
This leads to system crash when we try to unload and reload sound card. I hit this bug during ADSP crash/reboot test case on Dragon board DB410c.
Without this patch, on SLAB Poisoning enabled build, kernel crashes with "BUG kmalloc-128 (Tainted: G W ): Poison overwritten"

The patch
ASoC: dapm: delete dapm_kcontrol_data paths list before freeing it
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
