[PATCH] [RFC PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: endpoint: Prevent NULL pointer deference in snd_usb_endpoint_close
When multiple plug-in and plug-out events occur, there is a risk of encountering a NULL pointer dereference leading to a kernel panic during a headset use-case. this issue arises in the snd_usb_endpoint_close function
To avoid check if ep->iface_ref is not null before decrementing its opened count. If ep->iface_ref is null, we skip the decrement and the subsequent logic.

Such a scenario can't happen: ep->iface_ref is changed only in chip->mutex lock, hence it can't be NULL there.
thanks,

Hi Takashi,
Actually we are facing NULL pointer deference while running headset case when i checked call trace the last running function is snd_usb_endpoint_close where iface_ref and clock_ref both are 0x0

That's why I have added the NULL pointer check

Who is actually calling snd_usb_endpoint_close()? I guess that's rather a bug in the call pattern, not the code in USB-audio driver itself.
snd_usb_endpoint_close() is supposed to be called only for a really opened endpoint. So, if any, it's rather a race (or a bug) in the caller side, and it should be addressed there instead.
thanks,
Takashi
