In each function, the value apcm is stored in the private_data field of
runtime. At the same time the function ct_atc_pcm_free_substream is stored
in the private_free field of the same structure. ct_atc_pcm_free_substream
dereferences and ultimately frees the value in the private_data field. But
each function can exit in an error case with apcm having been freed, in
which case a subsequent call to the private_free function would perform a
dereference after free. On the other hand, if the private_free field is
not initialized, it is NULL, and not invoked (see snd_pcm_detach_substream
in sound/core/pcm.c). To avoid the introduction of a dangling pointer, the
initializations of the private_data and private_free fields are moved to
the end of the function, past any possible free of apcm. This is safe
because the previous calls to snd_pcm_hw_constraint_integer and
snd_pcm_hw_constraint_minmax, which take runtime as an argument, do not
refer to either of these fields.
In each function, there is one error case where apcm needs to be freed, and
a call to kfree is added.
The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
