[PATCH 2/3] ASoC: codecs: hda: Stop unsol events and jack polling before codec removal

From: Takashi Iwai

Date: Wed Oct 07 2026 - 17:57:42 EST


The ASoC HD-audio codec driver has the same race as the legacy HDA
codec driver unbind: hda_codec_remove() calls the codec's remove
callback that releases the driver resources, followed by
snd_hda_codec_cleanup_for_unbind(), while the unsolicited event work
and the jack polling work may still run concurrently and access the
released resources, leading to a UAF.

Apply the same fix as done for the legacy driver: call
snd_hdac_device_disable_unsol() and cancel jackpoll_work at the
beginning of hda_codec_remove(), and clear the unsol_disabled flag
again at hda_codec_probe() so that the events get delivered after the
codec is re-registered.
