[PATCH 03/21] soundwire: stream: Prevent m_rt_count underflow in sdw_stream_remove_master()

From: Lee Jones

Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 07:01:34 EST


stream->m_rt_count is only incremented in sdw_stream_add_master() after
sdw_master_port_alloc() succeeds. However, sdw_stream_add_slave() can
allocate a master runtime without allocating master ports, and
sdw_master_port_alloc() can fail after partially populating
m_rt->port_list. When sdw_stream_remove_master() subsequently tears
down the stream, it unconditionally decrements stream->m_rt_count,
underflowing the counter when master ports were never allocated.

Free any partially allocated master ports on allocation failure in
sdw_master_port_alloc(), and only decrement stream->m_rt_count in
sdw_stream_remove_master() when master ports were allocated.

Fixes: ac3bc88cc56e ("soundwire: stream: separate alloc and config within sdw_stream_add_xxx()")
