From: Tuo Li <islituo@gmail.com> The variable codec->regmap is often protected by the lock codec->regmap_lock when is accessed. However, it is accessed without holding the lock when is accessed in snd_hdac_regmap_sync(): if (codec->regmap) In my opinion, this may be a harmful race, because if codec->regmap is set to NULL right after the condition is checked, a null-pointer dereference can occur in the called function regcache_sync(): map->lock(map->lock_arg); --> Line 360 in drivers/base/regmap/regcache.c To fix this possible null-pointer dereference caused by data race, the mutex_lock coverage is extended to protect the if statement as well as the function call to regcache_sync(). [ Note: the lack of the regmap_lock itself is harmless for the current codec driver implementations, as snd_hdac_regmap_sync() is only for PM runtime resume that is prohibited during the codec probe. But the change makes the whole code more consistent, so it's merged as is -- tiwai ] Reported-by: BassCheck <bass@buaa.edu.cn> Signed-off-by: Tuo Li <islituo@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230703031016.1184711-1-islituo@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> --- sound/hda/hdac_regmap.c | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/sound/hda/hdac_regmap.c b/sound/hda/hdac_regmap.c index f258cb3a6895..9b1bcabd8414 100644 --- a/sound/hda/hdac_regmap.c +++ b/sound/hda/hdac_regmap.c @@ -596,10 +596,9 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(snd_hdac_regmap_update_raw_once); */ void snd_hdac_regmap_sync(struct hdac_device *codec) { - if (codec->regmap) { - mutex_lock(&codec->regmap_lock); + mutex_lock(&codec->regmap_lock); + if (codec->regmap) regcache_sync(codec->regmap); - mutex_unlock(&codec->regmap_lock); - } + mutex_unlock(&codec->regmap_lock); } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(snd_hdac_regmap_sync); -- 2.34.1
