From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 0e279dcea0ec897af1c979ebee4ec92b461793f5 upstream. The recent rewrite of PCM link lock management introduced the refcount in snd_pcm_group object, managed by the kernel refcount_t API. This caused unexpected kernel warnings when the kernel is built with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y. As the warning line indicates, the problem is obviously that we start with refcount=0 and do refcount_inc() for adding each PCM link, while refcount_t API doesn't like refcount_inc() performed on zero. For adapting the proper refcount_t usage, this patch changes the logic slightly: - The initial refcount is 1, assuming the single list entry - The refcount is incremented / decremented at each PCM link addition and deletion - ... which allows us concentrating only on the refcount as a release condition Fixes: f57f3df03a8e ("ALSA: pcm: More fine-grained PCM link locking") BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204221 Reported-and-tested-by: Duncan Overbruck <kernel@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- sound/core/pcm_native.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- a/sound/core/pcm_native.c +++ b/sound/core/pcm_native.c @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ void snd_pcm_group_init(struct snd_pcm_g spin_lock_init(&group->lock); mutex_init(&group->mutex); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&group->substreams); - refcount_set(&group->refs, 0); + refcount_set(&group->refs, 1); } /* define group lock helpers */ @@ -1096,8 +1096,7 @@ static void snd_pcm_group_unref(struct s if (!group) return; - do_free = refcount_dec_and_test(&group->refs) && - list_empty(&group->substreams); + do_free = refcount_dec_and_test(&group->refs); snd_pcm_group_unlock(group, substream->pcm->nonatomic); if (do_free) kfree(group); @@ -2020,6 +2019,7 @@ static int snd_pcm_link(struct snd_pcm_s snd_pcm_group_lock_irq(target_group, nonatomic); snd_pcm_stream_lock(substream1); snd_pcm_group_assign(substream1, target_group); + refcount_inc(&target_group->refs); snd_pcm_stream_unlock(substream1); snd_pcm_group_unlock_irq(target_group, nonatomic); _end: @@ -2056,13 +2056,14 @@ static int snd_pcm_unlink(struct snd_pcm snd_pcm_group_lock_irq(group, nonatomic); relink_to_local(substream); + refcount_dec(&group->refs); /* detach the last stream, too */ if (list_is_singular(&group->substreams)) { relink_to_local(list_first_entry(&group->substreams, struct snd_pcm_substream, link_list)); - do_free = !refcount_read(&group->refs); + do_free = refcount_dec_and_test(&group->refs); } snd_pcm_group_unlock_irq(group, nonatomic);
