4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 6ff1a25318ebf688ef9593fe09cd449f6fb4ad31 upstream. The usb-audio driver implements the deferred device disconnection for the device in use. In this mode, the disconnection callback returns immediately while the actual ALSA card object removal happens later when all files get closed. As Shuah reported, this code flow, however, leads to a use-after-free, detected by KASAN: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in snd_usb_audio_free+0x134/0x160 [snd_usb_audio] at addr ffff8801c863ce10 Write of size 8 by task pulseaudio/2244 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81b31473>] dump_stack+0x67/0x94 [<ffffffff81564ef1>] kasan_object_err+0x21/0x70 [<ffffffff8156518a>] kasan_report_error+0x1fa/0x4e0 [<ffffffff81564ad7>] ? kasan_slab_free+0x87/0xb0 [<ffffffff81565733>] __asan_report_store8_noabort+0x43/0x50 [<ffffffffa0fc0f54>] ? snd_usb_audio_free+0x134/0x160 [snd_usb_audio] [<ffffffffa0fc0f54>] snd_usb_audio_free+0x134/0x160 [snd_usb_audio] [<ffffffffa0fc0fb1>] snd_usb_audio_dev_free+0x31/0x40 [snd_usb_audio] [<ffffffff8243c78a>] __snd_device_free+0x12a/0x210 [<ffffffff8243d1f5>] snd_device_free_all+0x85/0xd0 [<ffffffff8242cae4>] release_card_device+0x34/0x130 [<ffffffff81ef1846>] device_release+0x76/0x1e0 [<ffffffff81b37ad7>] kobject_release+0x107/0x370 .....

It's the code trying to clear drvdata of the assigned usb_device where the usb_device itself was already released in usb_release_dev() after the disconnect callback. This patch fixes it by checking whether the code path is via the disconnect callback, i.e. chip->shutdown flag is set. Fixes: 79289e24194a ('ALSA: usb-audio: Refer to chip->usb_id for quirks...')
