[alsa-devel] WARNING in port_delete

Reporting the crash: WARNING in port_delete

This crash has been found in v4.18-rc3 using RaceFuzzer (a modified
version of Syzkaller), which we descrbie more at the end of this
report. Our analysis shows that the race occurs when invoking two close
syscalls concurrently.

The executed program is as follows:
r0 = open("/dev/snd/seq", 0x0, 0x0)
ioctl(r0, SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_CREATE_PORT, {{0x80}, "706f72943000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000233f770800000000000000000000000000000000000000001000", 0xffffffffffffffff, 0xfffffffffffffbff})
r1 = openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/sequencer2", 0x8402, 0x0)
close(r0)
close(r1)

and two threads executed the program as follows:
Thread0                                     Thread1
open("/dev/snd/seq")
ioctl(r0, SNDRV_SEQ_IOCTL_CREATE_PORT)
openat("/dev/sequencer2")
close(r0)                                   close(r1)

(Note that two close() syscalls were exeuted after openat() syscall, and
two close() syscalls were executed concurrently.)

= About RaceFuzzer

RaceFuzzer is a customized version of Syzkaller, specifically tailored
to find race condition bugs in the Linux kernel. While we leverage
many different technique, the notable feature of RaceFuzzer is in
leveraging a custom hypervisor (QEMU/KVM) to interleave the
scheduling. In particular, we modified the hypervisor to intentionally
stall a per-core execution, which is similar to supporting per-core
breakpoint functionality. This allows RaceFuzzer to force the kernel
to deterministically trigger racy condition (which may rarely happen
in practice due to randomness in scheduling).

RaceFuzzer's C repro always pinpoints two racy syscalls. Since C
repro's scheduling synchronization should be performed at the user
space, its reproducibility is limited (reproduction may take from 1
second to 10 minutes (or even more), depending on a bug). This is
because, while RaceFuzzer precisely interleaves the scheduling at the
kernel's instruction level when finding this bug, C repro cannot fully
utilize such a feature. Please disregard all code related to
"should_hypercall" in the C repro, as this is only for our debugging
purposes using our own hypervisor.
