Norbert Szetei e8b784a3f4 ALSA: pcm: wake linked drain waiters on unlink
commit f495b6c4c8 upstream.

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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
