Takashi Iwai bd889a82fb ALSA: pcm: Avoid potential races between OSS ioctls and read/write 
commit 02a5d6925c upstream.

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.
