hda_generic_machine_select() appends -idisp to the tplg filename by allocating a new string with devm_kasprintf(), then stores the string right back into the global variable snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines. When the module is unloaded, this memory is freed, resulting in a global variable pointing to freed memory. Reloading the modules then triggers a use-after-free:

Fix it by saving the filename in pdata->tplg_filename instead, just like every other code path that appends to the tplg filename.

I think the correct way would be to make a local copy of the snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines array as we might be modifying it:

/* * make a local copy of the match array since we might * be modifying it */ hda_mach = devm_kmemdup_array(sdev->dev, snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines, 2 /* we have one entry + sentinel in the array */, sizeof(snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines[0]), GFP_KERNEL); if (!hda_mach) { dev_err(bus->dev, "%s: Failed to duplicate the HDA match table\n", __func__); return; }

or if the "2" is not satisfactory (we _know_ that the array size is 2 for this and will not change): include/sound/soc-acpi-intel-match.h +extern size_t snd_soc_acpi_num_intel_hda_machines;

sound/soc/intel/common/soc-acpi-intel-hda-match.c +size_t snd_soc_acpi_num_intel_hda_machines = ARRAY_SIZE(snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines); +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(snd_soc_acpi_num_intel_hda_machines);

and: /* * make a local copy of the match array since we might * be modifying it */ hda_mach = devm_kmemdup_array(sdev->dev, snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines, snd_soc_acpi_num_intel_hda_machines, sizeof(snd_soc_acpi_intel_hda_machines[0]), GFP_KERNEL); if (!hda_mach) { dev_err(bus->dev, "%s: Failed to duplicate the HDA match table\n", __func__); return; }
