Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
![]() Although we apply the params_lock mutex to the whole read and write operations as well as snd_pcm_oss_change_params(), we may still face some races. First off, the params_lock is taken inside the read and write loop. This is intentional for avoiding the too long locking, but it allows the in-between parameter change, which might lead to invalid pointers. We check the readiness of the stream and set up via snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() at the beginning of read and write, but it's called only once, by assuming that it remains ready in the rest. Second, many ioctls that may change the actual parameters (i.e. setting runtime->oss.params=1) aren't protected, hence they can be processed in a half-baked state. This patch is an attempt to plug these holes. The stream readiness check is moved inside the read/write inner loop, so that the stream is always set up in a proper state before further processing. Also, each ioctl that may change the parameter is wrapped with the params_lock for avoiding the races. The issues were triggered by syzkaller in a few different scenarios, particularly the one below appearing as GPF in loopback_pos_update.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
