By assigning weights to attribute probes, DAMON can completely disable access tracking and adjust monitoring regions based on weighted probe-hit counters to optimize monitoring quality for attribute-focused workloads. - "mm/hmm: Add mmap lock-drop support for userfaultfd-backed mappings" (Stanislav Kinsburskii) Extend hmm_range_fault() to support userfaultfd-backed regions by allowing the mmap lock to be dropped during fault handling via a new hmm_range_fault_locked() helper. By accepting a locked pointer and signaling retry status when lock release occurs, it enables page fault resolution in userfaultfd regions while preserving backward compatibility for existing callers. - "mm: make VMA page offset handling more consistent" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Clean up and standardize how vma->vm_pgoff is accessed and manipulated across file-backed and anonymous mappings in the kernel It introduces dedicated helper functions such as vma_start_pgoff(), vma_end_pgoff(), vma_set_pgoff() and linear_page_delta() while renaming rmap interval tree helpers to better reflect their functionality. These changes establish a cleaner foundation for future work that will unify virtual page offset indexing for all anonymous and CoW'd folios. - "mm: handle device-private PMDs in walk callbacks" (Usama Arif) Address kernel panics and state corruption caused by MM walk callbacks reaching non-present device-private PMD swap entries created during HMM migrations It ensures that functions which acquire pmd_trans_huge_lock() properly recognize device-private PMDs instead of assuming a present THP or a standard migration entry. - "mm/rmap: Refactor try_to_unmap_one" (Dev Jain) Refactor try_to_unmap_one by modularizing Hugetlb, anonymous-lazyfree, and anonymous-swapbacked logic into dedicated functions, laying the structural groundwork for batched anonymous large folio unmapping. - "Docs/ABI/damon: sysfs ABI document fixes and additions" (Song Hu) Fix typos and fills in missing entries in the DAMON sysfs ABI document - "dax/kmem: atomic whole-device hotplug via sysfs" (Gregory Price) Introduce an atomic sysfs state attribute and supporting DAX/MM infrastructure to prevent userland races when offlining and removing entire memory regions By adding an unplugged state alongside standard online modes, it enables whole-device atomic hotplug control while preserving backward compatibility. - "mm: convert more vm_flags_t users to vma_flags_t" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Continue transitioning the kernel from the deprecated vm_flags_t type to vma_flags_t across core memory management infrastructure. It replaces legacy type usage in core functions such as do_mmap(), unmapped area allocation, mm->def_vma_flags, and VMA operations like mlock, mprotect, and mremap. - "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h" (xu xin) Refactor mm_slot.h by introducing mm_slot_remove() to unify duplicate slot deletion sequences in khugepaged and KSM. It also adds code documentation explaining why mm_slot_lookup and mm_slot_insert must remain as preprocessor macros rather than static inline functions. - "mm/damon/core: hide core-private struct fields" (SJ Park) Clean up DAMON core structures by consistently marking internal-only fields with private: comment tags to prevent improper direct access from outer layers. It enforces encapsulation across core structures including damon_region, damon_target, and damon_ctx and updates DAMON_SYSFS to interact through approved access APIs instead of exposing raw struct members. - "mm/damon: unurgent fixes for infinite loop, NULL de-ref and races" (SJ Park) Address potential infinite loops, NULL dereferences, and race conditions identified in DAMON It fixes an infinite loop triggered by extreme user configurations, a NULL pointer dereference within unit tests and minor monitoring accuracy degradation caused by subtle runtime races. - "mm/page_alloc: fixes for free_pages_nolock() on RT/UP" (Brendan Jackman) Fix an NMI safety flaw in __free_frozen_pages() where freeing pages on non-SMP or PREEMPT_RT kernels can bypass can_spin_trylock() checks via non-PCP or isolated migration paths. It also resolves potential kernel crashes and privilege escalation risks triggered when BPF tracing runs in NMI context alongside memory hotplug or large allocation frees. - "mm/page_alloc: couple of followups for recent cleanups" (Brendan Jackman) Clean up and update page allocator nomenclature, documentation, and debug assertions. It aligns internal FPI_ flags with the public "nolock" naming convention, removes outdated internal implementation details from high-level page allocator comments, and eliminates obsolete VM_BUG_ON() assertions in allocation paths. - "mm/mseal: further cleanups" (Lorenzo Stoakes) Refactor and simplify the mseal implementation by clarifying API boundaries and removing unnecessary code complexity. It replaces generic do_mseal() usage outside the syscall with a dedicated mseal_mmap_page_zero() helper for MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, eliminates mm_struct parameters to enforce that sealing applies only to current->mm, and streamlines overall logic and comments with no functional changes intended. - "mm/vmscan: fix swappiness=max and clean up per-node proactive reclaim" (Ridong Chen) Resolve reclaim behavior bugs and clean up function parameters across memory reclaim paths It fixes swappiness=max in both standard reclaim and MGLRU so unswappable anonymous memory no longer falls back to evicting page cache, ensures reclaim_store() returns accurate error codes instead of collapsing all failures into -EAGAIN, and removes the obsolete gfp_mask parameter from __node_reclaim(). - "mm: mincore: misc cleanups" (Kefeng Wang) Clean up and simplifies the mincore code. Most importantly, it removes the historical special behavior that always reports VM_PFNMAP pages as non-resident. - "mm/huge_memory: drop dead split helper variants" (Kiryl Shutsemau) Two trivial cleanups in the folio split API - "mm/damon: fix uninitialized DAMOS field and kunit exec expectation bugs" (SJ Park) Resolve minor operational and testing bugs in DAMON identified by Sashiko. It initializes the damos->last_applied field to prevent occasional efficiency degradation and fixes invalid memory accesses in DAMON KUnit tests during test failure handling. - "cleanup for stable_page_flags()" (Jinjiang Tu) Clean up and refactor stable_page_flags() used by /proc/kpageflags without altering functionality. It uses BIT_ULL() to prevent shift-overflow warnings on 64-bit flag bits, converts folio-specific flag checks to standard folio_test_*() helpers, and removes redundant CONFIG_PAGE_IDLE_FLAG handling. - "Batch unmap of uffd-wp file folios" (Dev Jain) Extend batched folio unmapping support to file folios within userfaultfd write-protect (uffd-wp) VMAs by adding batching capabilities to pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed(). This removes special-case restrictions on uffd-wp VMAs in try_to_unmap_one(), significantly simplifying the function's control flow and complexity. - "mm/early_ioremap: clarify and clean up early_ioremap_reset()" (Sang-Heon Jeon) Clarify and clean up the architecture-specific usage of __late_set_fixmap() and __late_clear_fixmap() after early_ioremap_reset() It adds explicit documentation regarding when early_ioremap_reset() must be called and removes redundant macro definitions and reset calls in the RISC-V and ARM64 architectures. - "mm: fix reclaim storms in defrag_mode" (Johannes Weiner) Address severe performance regressions, swap storms, and spurious OOMs caused by vm.defrag_mode=1 under high memory pressure in Meta production It updates the page allocator slowpath so non-movable allocation requests actively trigger direct reclaim and direct compaction at pageblock_order scale, allowing them to claim whole pageblocks rather than spinning unproductively. - "zram: lockmap tweaks" (Sebastian Siewior) Optimize and fix lockdep tracking for zram devices by consolidating per-entry lockmaps and isolate lock classes across multiple instances This reduces memory overhead by replacing per-entry lockdep_map instances with a single map per struct zram, and assigns a dynamic lock_class_key to each instance to prevent false deadlock reports when different zram devices are backed by distinct filesystems. * tag 'mm-stable-2026-08-18-18-39' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (501 commits) selftests/mm: thuge-gen: fix test_shmget() for PAGE_SIZE check selftests/mm: unpoison pages in memory-failure teardown mm/shmem: downgrade final i_blocks check in shmem_evict_inode() to pr_warn() mm/khugepaged: replace mutex_lock/mutex_unlock usage with guard macro mm/zsmalloc: fix release order of locks in zs_page_migrate() Documentation: zram: remove sections numbering ksm: stop iterating VMAs when ksm_test_exit returns true mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE mm/migrate: report RCU-tasks quiescent states in migrate_pages_batch() zram: use a custom key for each zram object zram: move lockmap to be per-zram instead per table selftests/mm: fix gup_longterm EINVAL error message mm: page_alloc: fix non-movable reclaim storm in defrag_mode mm: page_alloc: move capture_control to the page allocator mm: compaction: support non-movable compaction for pageblock requests mm: page_alloc: __GFP_FS lockdep annotation for direct compaction hugetlb: evaluate subpool free state while locked mm/damon: remove trailing semicolons after function definitions mm/damon/ops-common: prevent migration fallback to non-target nodes mm/damon: update outdated comment about DAMOS filter handling ...
2026-08-14ALSA: core: Fix use-after-free in snd_card_do_free()Aleksandr Nogikh1-1/+3
A use-after-free was detected in snd_card_do_free() when a sound card managed by devres is unbound while a user-space application still holds an open file descriptor. For managed cards, the memory is allocated using devres_alloc(), and its release function is set to __snd_card_release(), which calls snd_card_free(). When the device is unbound, the unbind thread calls snd_card_free(), which drops a reference to the card's device. If the user thread still has an open file descriptor, the reference count does not reach zero, and the unbind thread blocks on wait_for_completion(&released). When the user thread closes the file descriptor, it drops the final reference, invoking the device release callback release_card_device(), which calls snd_card_do_free(). snd_card_do_free() performs cleanup and calls complete(card->release_completion). This wakes up the unbind thread, which returns from snd_card_free() and __snd_card_release(). The devres core then immediately frees the memory block containing the snd_card structure. Meanwhile, the user thread continues execution in snd_card_do_free() and evaluates `if (!card->managed)`. It reads the `managed` boolean from the snd_card structure that was just freed by the unbind thread, triggering a KASAN use-after-free. Fix this by caching the value of card->managed in a local variable before calling complete(). This ensures that the card pointer is not dereferenced after the unbind thread has been woken up and potentially freed the card.

2026-08-13ALSA: seq: midi: Serialize input teardown with event_inputJohn Keeping1-6/+31
snd_midi_input_event() must not be running while a rawmidi substream is closing, since this can lead to the trigger state becoming out-of-step through this sequence in snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(): snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(up=0) snd_midi_input_event() -> snd_rawmidi_kernel_read() -> snd_rawmidi_input_trigger(up=1) -> cancel_work_sync() which ends with the underlying device being active unexpectedly. When this is called from close_substream(), further input can re-trigger the input event leaving it running after rawmidi_release_priv() has set rfile->rmidi to NULL which leads to: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000b0 Call trace: snd_midi_input_event+0x3c/0x134 [snd_seq_midi] (P) snd_rawmidi_input_event_work+0x1c/0x2c process_one_work+0x150/0x3a4 worker_thread+0x190/0x318 Apply a similar approach to commit ef7607ab1c8ad ("ALSA: seq: midi: Serialize output teardown with event_input") which fixed the same issue in the output direction, but updated to use RCU following Takashi Iwai's proposed follow-on patch [1]. With this change in place, midisynth_unsubscribe() clears the input file so snd_midi_input_event() will not re-trigger the stream and will be quiesced by the cancel_work_sync() in snd_rawmidi_input_trigger().

2026-08-13ALSA: seq: midi: Optimize event_input locking with RCUTakashi Iwai1-13/+11
The recent fix for serializing the output teardown introduced a spinlock invocation at every MIDI output event via event_process_midi. Since this is a hot path, let's do performance optimization with RCU. The new output_substream __rcu pointer is published via rcu_assign_pointer() in midisynth_use() after output_rfile is set, and cleared in midisynth_unuse() before the resource teardown. event_process_midi() reads it under rcu_read_lock() and bumps output_use_lock inside that section, which is necessary to close the window between the pointer dereference and the refcount increment. midisynth_unuse() calls synchronize_rcu() before snd_use_lock_sync(): this guarantees that any reader who obtained a non-NULL pointer has already called atomic_inc (output_use_lock), so the subsequent snd_use_lock_sync() sees the correct in-flight count.

2026-08-12ALSA: seq: Drop the dead struct snd_seq_event_bounceHyeongJun An1-3/+2
The struct describes a bounce payload of an error code followed by the original event and its external data. No kernel has ever sent that. Before commit efc86691e4d8 ("ALSA: seq: Fix kernel heap address leak in bounce_error_event()") the kernel emitted no SNDRV_SEQ_EVENT_BOUNCE at all, and since then it sends the event record alone. Nothing has ever read it either. Its only accessor, snd_seq_event_bounce_ext_data(), has had no caller for the whole git history, and it did not even compile until commit c7e0b5bf9fff ("[ALSA] Remove xxx_t typedefs: Sequencer") incidentally repaired the type name it referred to, three years after the git import. Drop the accessor along with the struct. This removes a definition from a UAPI header. Since no kernel ever produced the layout, nothing can have parsed it, but a program that merely names the type will need to stop.

2026-08-11ALSA: seq: Don't leak the extension cell pointer in the bounce payloadHyeongJun An1-6/+10
The bounce_error_event() embeds the failed event in the bounce payload by pointing data.ext.ptr at it. When that event is a queued variable-length event, its own data.ext.ptr holds the address of its first extension cell, put there by snd_seq_event_dup(). The payload goes out verbatim through snd_seq_expand_var_event(), so the address reaches userspace. That is the same address commit 705dd6dcbc0e ("ALSA: seq: Clear variable event pointer on read") removed from the event header. The read path still clears it there, just above the call that expands the payload. Embed a sanitised copy instead, treated exactly as snd_seq_read() treats the header. A stack copy is enough because delivery is synchronous and snd_seq_event_dup() copies before returning. An unprivileged client reaches this by setting SNDRV_SEQ_FILTER_BOUNCE, queueing a variable-length event to a port that does not exist and reading the bounce back. Eight bytes on 64-bit, from its own pool.

2026-08-10ALSA: seq: Use RCU for the UMP client output substreamTakashi Iwai1-16/+22
The UMP sequencer client protects its output rawmidi file (out_rfile) with an rwlock (output_lock). seq_ump_process_event(), the port's event_input callback, reads out_rfile.output under read_lock on every delivered UMP event, while the open/close paths (serialized by ump->open_mutex) publish and clear out_rfile under write_lock. Output is opened/closed only on the subscribe/use lifecycle while delivery happens per event, so this is another read-mostly hot path. Convert it to RCU and drop the rwlock. out_rfile is an embedded struct rather than a pointer, so instead of restructuring it, add an RCU-protected shadow of the substream (out_substream) for the reader; out_rfile itself becomes writer-only state accessed solely under open_mutex. The reader now runs lock-free under rcu_read_lock() via rcu_dereference(), and open publishes the substream with rcu_assign_pointer(). On close the substream is cleared with rcu_assign_pointer(NULL) and the rawmidi is released only after synchronize_rcu(), so no reader in the delivery path can still be writing to the substream when snd_rawmidi_kernel_release() runs. Dropping write_lock_irqsave() from the writers is safe: they run in process context under open_mutex, and the sole atomic reader now uses RCU, which is IRQ-safe.

2026-08-10ALSA: seq: Use RCU for the virmidi file listTakashi Iwai1-8/+11
Each virmidi device keeps a list of its opened input files (filelist) protected by both an rwlock (filelist_lock) and a rw_semaphore (filelist_sem). snd_virmidi_dev_receive_event() walks the list on the sequencer event input path -- read_lock() when the event is delivered in atomic context, down_read() otherwise -- decoding each incoming event into the file's rawmidi buffer. The writers (input open/close) take both locks to add/remove entries. This is another typical dual-lock read-mostly pattern as the port subscriber list: files are opened/closed rarely while the receive callback runs per event. Let's convert the traversal to RCU and drop the rwlock; the existing filelist_sem keeps serializing the writers. The atomic input path now runs lock-free under rcu_read_lock(), and both readers share a single list_for_each_entry_rcu() (valid under the rwsem via lockdep_is_held()). The writers switch to list_add_tail_rcu() / list_del_rcu(). snd_virmidi_input_close() freed the entry (parser and struct) immediately after list_del. A concurrent lockless reader in the atomic path may still be dereferencing it, so the close path now waits for an RCU grace period after list_del_rcu() before freeing; synchronize_rcu() is used rather than kfree_rcu() because the parser must also be released after the grace period, not just the struct. Non-atomic readers are already excluded by the down_write, so only the atomic RCU readers need the grace period. Dropping write_lock_irq() from the writers is safe: no writer runs in atomic/IRQ context, and the sole atomic reader now uses RCU, which is IRQ-safe.

2026-08-10ALSA: seq: Use RCU for the client tableTakashi Iwai1-13/+30
The sequencer keeps a global table of clients (clienttab[]) indexed by client id, protected by the global clients_lock spinlock. The lookup snd_seq_client_use_ptr() reads a slot and takes a use_lock reference on the client, and this runs on the event delivery hot path: every dispatched event resolves its destination (and often source) client through it. The spinlock's only job on the read side is to make the "pointer is non-NULL" test and the reference increment indivisible with respect to the writer that nulls the slot and then drains the refcount. Clients come and go rarely but delivery happens constantly, so this is yet another read-mostly case as the port and subscriber lists. Convert the table to RCU: the read side now runs lock-free under rcu_read_lock() and takes the use_lock reference via rcu_dereference(), removing contention on the single global spinlock from the delivery path. The writers keep clients_lock (still needed to serialize slot allocation) and publish / unpublish via rcu_assign_pointer(); creation and destruction remain serialized at a higher level by register_mutex. As with the ports, the client is not freed via kfree_rcu(): its lifetime is governed by the use_lock refcount drained in seq_free_client1(). list_del under the old spinlock excluded a concurrent lookup from taking a new reference once the slot was nulled; rcu_assign_pointer(NULL) offers no such exclusion, so a reader still holding the old pointer can grab a reference after the unpublish. seq_free_client1() therefore calls synchronize_rcu() after nulling the slot and before snd_use_lock_sync(): once the grace period elapses no new reference can appear, and the existing drain then frees the client safely. clienttablock[] keeps its slot-reservation role (create/free are serialized by register_mutex); its read on the lookup path only gates module autoload, so a lockless read is harmless. Dropping the spinlock from the read path is safe: clients_lock is now taken only by the process-context writers, and the sole atomic reader uses RCU, which is IRQ-safe.

2026-08-10ALSA: seq: Use RCU for the client port listTakashi Iwai3-30/+23
Each sequencer client keeps a list of its ports (ports_list_head) protected by both an rwlock (ports_lock) and a mutex (ports_mutex). The rwlock is taken read-side on the event delivery hot path: snd_seq_port_use_ptr() walks the list to resolve a port on every dispatched event, while the mutex serializes port creation/deletion. Ports change rarely but delivery happens constantly, so this is the another read-mostly case as the port subscriber list. Convert the port list traversal to RCU and drop the rwlock entirely; the existing ports_mutex keeps serializing the writers. The atomic delivery path (snd_seq_port_use_ptr(), snd_seq_port_query_nearest()) now runs lock-free under rcu_read_lock() instead of contending on the shared rwlock. The writers switch to list_add_tail_rcu()/list_del_rcu(). snd_seq_insert_port() now stores the port number and name before publishing the node so RCU readers only ever observe a fully initialized port. One drawback is that snd_seq_delete_all_ports() drops the O(1) splice trick and unlinks each port individually, though: the splice repointed the last port's ->next away from the list head, which would send a concurrent lockless reader off the end of the list. Unlike the subscriber objects, ports are not freed via kfree_rcu(): port_delete() must drain outstanding use_lock references (and run private_free()) synchronously. The rwlock previously guaranteed that no reader could take a new use_lock reference once the port was unlinked -- list_del under write_lock excluded snd_use_lock_use() under read_lock. list_del_rcu() offers no such exclusion, so a reader still traversing the list can grab a reference after the unlink. port_delete() therefore calls synchronize_rcu() after the port has been unlinked and before snd_use_lock_sync(): once the grace period elapses no new reference can appear, and the existing drain then frees the port safely. Dropping write_lock_irq() from the writers is safe: no writer runs in atomic/IRQ context, and the sole atomic reader now uses RCU, which is IRQ-safe.

2026-08-10ALSA: seq: Use RCU for the port subscriber listTakashi Iwai3-44/+41
Each sequencer port keeps two subscriber groups (c_src and c_dest), each protected by both an rwlock (list_lock) and a rw_semaphore (list_mutex). The rwlock is taken read-side in the event delivery hot path (__deliver_to_subscribers()) for delivering every event to subscribers, while the mutex serializes subscribe/unsubscribe and covers the sleepable delivery and query walks. Subscriptions change rarely but delivery happens constantly, so this is a textbook read-mostly case. Convert the subscriber list traversal to RCU and drop the rwlock entirely while keeping the existing list_mutex for serializing the writers. The atomic delivery path now runs lock-free under rcu_read_lock() instead of contending on the shared rwlock. Along with the conversion to RCU, the subscriber lists are switched from list_head to hlist so that removal can use hlist_del_init_rcu(): it keeps the ->next pointer intact for concurrent readers while clearing ->pprev, which lets the double-deletion guard (added in commit 13d5e5d4725c) keep detecting an already-removed entry via hlist_unhashed(). Dropping write_lock_irq() from the writers is safe: no writer runs in atomic/IRQ context, and the sole atomic reader now uses RCU, which is IRQ-safe. Port lifetime handling (use_lock/closing drain in port_delete()) is orthogonal and unchanged. Note that the conversion to RCU has another merit: it automatically "fixes" the (rather false) lockdep warnings for the doubly read-locks of the same subscriber list, too.

When opening a legacy rawmidi device for a UMP, it may re-open an existing rawmidi device for appending to a substream, leading to a lockdep warning due to rmidi->open_mutex taken twice -- but the rawmidi devices are completely individual, hence it's a false-positive. For avoiding the warning, modify the helper to open a rawmidi instance with a proper locking subclass from the UMP legacy open. Unfortunately, there is no good way to achieve it with guard(), so reverted to the manual mutex calls again.

The fixed-size components field in SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_CARD_INFO can be too small on systems with many audio devices. Keep the existing struct snd_ctl_card_info ABI intact and add a new ioctl SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_CARD_BYTES that carries a variable-length payload selected by a type discriminator. The first defined type SND_CTL_CARD_BTYPE_COMPONENTS returns the full components string. The ioctl is designed to be reused for other variable-length card payloads in the future. The user-space caller may set data_allocated == 0 (or data == NULL) to query the required length; otherwise the kernel copies the payload into the user buffer and writes back the actual length in data_len. When the legacy components field in struct snd_ctl_card_info is truncated, '>' is written just before the NUL terminator to signal to user-space that the full string is available via the new ioctl. card->components is now dynamically allocated and grown in 32 byte increments via krealloc(), capped at 512 bytes.

2026-07-28ALSA: pcm: wake linked drain waiters on unlinkNorbert Szetei1-0/+7
snd_pcm_drain() on a linked stream parks an on-stack wait entry on the drained peer's runtime->sleep, and after schedule_timeout() removes it only if that peer is still found in the caller's group. If group membership changes during the wait and the sleep ends by signal or timeout (so autoremove_wake_function() does not run), finish_wait() is skipped and snd_pcm_drain() returns with the entry still queued on that stream's sleep list; a later wake_up() then walks a freed stack frame. This is reachable by unlinking either the drained or the draining stream. Unlike the close path (snd_pcm_drop() -> snd_pcm_post_stop()), snd_pcm_unlink() never wakes the sleep queues. Wake every group member under the group lock before the membership change, so a linked drainer is released and drops its entry while the streams are still grouped. The window was opened when snd_pcm_link_rwsem stopped being held across the wait and the removal became conditional on group membership (see Fixes). The later switch to finish_wait() kept that conditional removal, so the signal/timeout case remained.

2026-07-26ALSA: timer: Clear SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_DEAD once the close completesNorbert Szetei1-0/+2
snd_timer_close_locked() marks an instance with SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_DEAD and returns early when the flag is already set, but the flag is never cleared again. A completed close ends in remove_slave_links(), which leaves timeri->timer NULL, so a second close is already harmless through the timer == NULL path; the early return can only be reached by an instance that was opened again in between. For such an instance the close unlinks nothing, so snd_timer_instance_free() frees an object that is still on timer->open_list_head, still on snd_timer_master_list if it was opened with a slave key, still owns any adopted slaves, and still holds its timer and module references. snd_seq_timer_open() reopens an instance exactly like that: it retries its fallback open on the same object after a failure that has already run snd_timer_close_locked() internally. An unprivileged user with access to /dev/snd/timer and /dev/snd/seq can force that failure, since snd_timer_check_master() returns -EBUSY when a pending slave matches the new master's (slave_class, slave_id) key and the target timer has reached max_instances, and SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_SELECT with dev_class = SNDRV_TIMER_CLASS_SLAVE keeps the caller-supplied dev_sclass, so a sequencer queue's key can be forged. The freed instance is afterwards dereferenced by any further snd_timer_open() on that timer, by snd_timer_check_slave(), and by /proc/asound/timers, which faults on the stale ti->owner pointer. The flag only has to be visible while the close is in progress, which is all its other users need. Clear it in remove_slave_links(), under the same timer->lock that sets it, once the instance is off every list.

A userspace-driven ALSA timer (SND_UTIMER) lets an unprivileged user set the backing snd_timer's hardware resolution to an arbitrary 64-bit value via SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CREATE. snd_utimer_create() only rejects zero. When such a timer is bound to a sequencer queue, initialize_timer() computes the tick period as tmr->ticks = 1000000000 / (r * freq); where r is that user-controlled resolution and freq is the sequencer update rate in Hz, clamped to MIN_FREQUENCY..MAX_FREQUENCY (10..6250). A resolution of 2^63 makes the 64-bit product r * freq wrap to zero for any even freq, including DEFAULT_FREQUENCY (1000), so the division faults with a divide-by-zero. The division runs under tmr->lock with interrupts disabled, so the oops leaves the spinlock held and hangs the CPU.

snd_timer_close_locked() drains the closing instance's own in-flight callback (IFLG_CALLBACK) before freeing it, but not its slaves'. When a master instance is closed, remove_slave_links() clears each slave's ->timer; the slave's own close then reads timer == NULL and takes the branch that skips the drain entirely (snd_timer_stop_slave() also no-ops on a NULL timer). So a slave whose callback is still running when the master is closed is freed underneath the live callback, leading to use-after-free. Drain the slaves too before remove_slave_links() severs them. snd_timer_stop() has already taken this instance off the active list, so no new slave callback can be queued.

The userspace-driven timer (utimer) TRIGGER ioctl calls snd_timer_interrupt() directly with no serialization, so two threads triggering the same utimer can run snd_timer_interrupt() on one snd_timer concurrently. snd_timer_process_callbacks() drops timer->lock around each instance callback and marks the in-flight callback with the single SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK bit; snd_timer_close_locked() waits on that bit to drain an in-flight callback before freeing the instance. The bit cannot represent two concurrent callbacks: when a second interrupt re-queues an instance whose callback is still running, both run at once, the first to finish clears the bit, and the close-path drain then frees the instance (and its callback_data) while the other callback is still live - a use-after-free reachable by any user able to open /dev/snd/timer, both via a user timer instance and via a sequencer queue timer bound to the utimer. snd_timer_interrupt() sets IFLG_CALLBACK before dropping timer->lock, so a concurrent interrupt already observes it under the lock. Skip re-queuing an instance (and its slaves) to the ack/sack list while its callback is in flight; the accumulated pticks are delivered on the next tick, so no event is lost.

2026-07-14ALSA: seq: close a re-opened queue timer in the destructorNorbert Szetei1-1/+12
queue_delete() closes the queue timer, then frees it. snd_seq_timer_close() clears q->timer->timeri. snd_use_lock_sync() then drains borrowers, and snd_seq_timer_delete() frees q->timer. A borrower can re-open the timer inside that window. A SET_QUEUE_CLIENT that took a queueptr() use_lock reference before the queue was unlinked runs snd_seq_timer_open() after the close. Open refuses re-open only while timeri is set, and the close just cleared it, so it re-opens timeri. snd_seq_timer_delete() does not close that instance. Its snd_seq_timer_stop() is a no-op, because running was cleared first. So it frees q->timer with the instance still live. The queue is freed next. The instance stays on the global timer with callback_data pointing at the freed queue. A non-owner START on the unlocked queue arms it. The next tick derefs the freed queue in snd_seq_timer_interrupt(). Reachable by an unprivileged user with access to /dev/snd/seq. No CAP and no queue ownership required. Close any lingering instance in the destructor. There, ->timeri can no longer change: the queue is unlinked and all use_lock borrowers have drained, so no snd_seq_queue_use() can re-open it. Close it before clearing q->timer. snd_timer_close() waits for any in-flight snd_seq_timer_interrupt() to finish, and that callback still reads q->timer (via snd_seq_check_queue()), so q->timer must stay valid until it drains.

snd_ctl_open() unconditionally overwrites the return value of snd_card_file_add() with -ENODEV on failure, discarding the actual error code. Fix this by directly returning the original error code returned by snd_card_file_add() (e.g. -ENOMEM or -ENODEV). This behavior is consistent with the error handling used in other functions such as snd_mixer_oss_open(), snd_hwdep_open(), snd_pcm_oss_open(), and others. There is no functional change other than the returned error code in this failure path.

2026-07-03ALSA: core: propagate actual error code from register_chrdevbui duc phuc1-4/+10
The alsa_sound_init() function currently returns a hardcoded -EIO if register_chrdev() fails, masking specific error codes from __register_chrdev() such as -EINVAL, -ENOMEM, or -EBUSY. Masking these failures under a generic -EIO makes system-level diagnostics unnecessarily difficult. Propagating explicit error codes from register_chrdev() is also an established convention widely practiced across other subsystems. Fix this by capturing and propagating the dynamic error code from register_chrdev(). While at it, also assign the return value of snd_info_init() to the 'err' variable instead of hardcoding -ENOMEM to ensure consistency and future-proofing.

2026-06-29ALSA: pcm: Notify disconnected state at mmap data fault, tooTakashi Iwai1-0/+2
When a device gets disconnected, the driver waits until the all opened file descriptors are closed before releasing the device. Although PCM core emits an error to any further syscalls (except for close), some applications don't notice the disconnected state because they mainly access only via mmap, and it may block the device release unnecessarily too long. This patch is an attempt to improve the behavior by adding the notification of the PCM disconnected state at mmap data faulting. When the device is disconnected, it now returns VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, so that the application can notice the invalid PCM state.

2026-06-24ALSA: seq: Fix uninitialised heap leak in snd_seq_event_dup()HyeongJun An1-1/+1
snd_seq_event_dup() copies an incoming event into a pool cell and, in the UMP-enabled build, clears the trailing cell->ump.raw.extra word that the memcpy() did not cover. The guard deciding whether to clear it compares the copied size against sizeof(cell->event): memcpy(&cell->ump, event, size); if (size < sizeof(cell->event)) cell->ump.raw.extra = 0; For a legacy (non-UMP) event, size == sizeof(struct snd_seq_event) == sizeof(cell->event), so the condition is false and the extra word keeps stale data. The cell pool is allocated with kvmalloc() (not zeroed) and cells are reused via a free list, so that word holds uninitialised heap or leftover event data. When such a cell is delivered to a UMP client (client->midi_version > 0) that set SNDRV_SEQ_FILTER_NO_CONVERT -- so the legacy event reaches it unconverted -- snd_seq_read() reads it out as the larger struct snd_seq_ump_event and copies the stale word to user space, a 4-byte kernel heap infoleak to an unprivileged /dev/snd/seq client. Compare against sizeof(cell->ump) instead, so the trailing word is zeroed for every event shorter than the UMP cell.

2026-06-17ALSA: compress: Fix task creation error unwindCássio Gabriel1-4/+9
snd_compr_task_new() allocates the driver task before validating the returned DMA buffers and reserving file descriptors. When either of those later steps fails, the core frees its task wrapper and DMA-buffer references without calling the driver's task_free() callback. Any driver resources allocated by task_create() are therefore leaked. The dual-fd allocation path also jumps to cleanup without storing the negative get_unused_fd_flags() result in retval. Since retval still contains the successful task_create() return value, TASK_CREATE can incorrectly report success although the task was discarded. Preserve the fd allocation errors and call task_free() when failure occurs after a successful task_create() callback.

2026-06-14ALSA: timer: Fix racy timeri->timer changes with rwlockTakashi Iwai1-9/+11
Although we've covered the races around the timer object assignment and release for timer instances, there are still races at starting or stopping the timer instance. They refer to timeri->timer without lock, hence they can still trigger UAFs. For addressing it, this patch changes the existing slave_active_lock spinlock to timeri_lock rwlock. It's a global rwlock applied as read-lock when snd_timer_start() & co are called as well as snd_timeri_timer_get() is called. In turn, the places where timeri->timer is assigned or released are covered by the write-lock. The patch replaces spinlock_irqsave with spinlock in a couple of spaces because they are now already protected by timeri_lock, too.
