[PATCH v3] ALSA: usx2y: Release the URBs when the DSP load fails

From: YuanZhe Liu

Date: Sat Oct 31 2026 - 14:56:55 EST


snd_usx2y_hwdep_dsp_load() sets up the asynchronous sequence URBs and
the interrupt URB when the FPGA firmware image with index 1 is loaded,
and then creates the ALSA devices. If usx2y_in04_init() or
usx2y_create_alsa_devices() fails, the URBs that were already set up
are left in place.

The core keeps the index unloaded when the callback fails, so user
space may issue the same request again. The second attempt then enters
usx2y_async_seq04_init() or usx2y_in04_init() with the URBs still
allocated and trips WARN_ON(usx2y->as04.buffer) or
WARN_ON(usx2y->in04_urb).

Release the URBs on these error paths instead, so that a retried
request starts from a clean state and the assertions keep their
meaning.

Releasing the URBs also lets a retried request reach
usx2y_create_alsa_devices() again, on a card that keeps the MIDI and
PCM devices created by the failed attempt. For the US-428 the audio
streams would then index usx2y->subs[] past its end, so do not
initialise a partially created card a second time: mark the chip as
hung when the ALSA devices could not be created, and refuse further DSP
load requests. A failure of usx2y_in04_init() leaves the card
untouched and remains retryable.

v3: do not initialise a partially created card a second time. A failed
usx2y_create_alsa_devices() now marks the chip as hung, so a retried
DSP load request returns -ENODEV instead of running the ALSA device
creation again.
