In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: soc-compress: Reposition and add pcm_mutex

If panic_on_warn is set and compress stream(DPCM) is started,
then kernel panic occurred because card->pcm_mutex isn't held appropriately.
In the following functions, warning were issued at this line
"snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held".

static int dpcm_be_connect(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe,
struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *be, int stream)
{
...
snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(fe);
...
}

void dpcm_be_disconnect(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe, int stream)
{
...
snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(fe);
...
}

void snd_soc_runtime_action(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *rtd,
int stream, int action)
{
...
snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(rtd);
...
}

int dpcm_dapm_stream_event(struct snd_soc_pcm_runtime *fe, int dir,
int event)
{
...
snd_soc_dpcm_mutex_assert_held(fe);
...
}

These functions are called by soc_compr_set_params_fe, soc_compr_open_fe
and soc_compr_free_fe
without pcm_mutex locking. And this is call stack.
