commit 5c6679b5cb120f07652418524ab186ac47680b49 upstream. A widget's "dirty" list_head, much like its "list" list_head, eventually chains back to a list_head on the snd_soc_card itself. This means that the list can stick around even after the widget (or all widgets) have been freed. Currently, however, widgets that are in the dirty list when freed remain there, corrupting the entire list and leading to memory errors and undefined behavior when the list is next accessed or modified. I encountered this issue when a component failed to probe relatively late in snd_soc_bind_card(), causing it to bail out and call soc_cleanup_card_resources(), which eventually called snd_soc_dapm_free() with widgets that were still dirty from when they'd been added.

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.
