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 module then triggers a use-after-free:

Fix it by copying the match array with devm_kmemdup_array() before we modify it.

Fixes: 5458411d7594 ("ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: refactoring topology name fixup for HDA mach") Suggested-by: Péter Ujfalusi" peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Tavian Barnes tavianator@tavianator.com

v4: Copy the whole array, including the sentinel.

v3: Copy the whole machine struct instead so we can safely modify it (instead of storing the name in pdata->tplg_filename, breaking other fixups). The problem with v2 was pointed out by Bard Liao, with the alternative fix suggested by Péter Ujfalusi.

v2: Typo fix.

I would prefer the comment after the comma. and I just noticed that my suggestion had it wrong as well, sorry.
