[Severity: Medium]
As reported by Sashiko on v9 [1], can an IRQ callback still observe a
non-NULL queue->vqueue after its buffers have been detached in
virtsnd_reset_vqs()?

In virtsnd_reset_vqs(), the first loop over VIRTIO_SND_VQ_MAX detaches
unused buffers under queue->lock and then drops the lock:

        for (i = 0; i < VIRTIO_SND_VQ_MAX; ++i) {
                struct virtio_snd_queue *queue = &snd->queues[i];
                unsigned long flags;
                void *msg;

                spin_lock_irqsave(&queue->lock, flags);
                if (queue->vqueue)
                        while ((msg = 
virtqueue_detach_unused_buf(queue->vqueue)))
                                if (i == VIRTIO_SND_VQ_TX || i == 
VIRTIO_SND_VQ_RX)
                                        virtsnd_pcm_msg_cancel(msg);
                spin_unlock_irqrestore(&queue->lock, flags);
        }

Only in the separate loop above does virtsnd_reset_vqs() re-acquire
snd->queues[i].lock to set snd->queues[i].vqueue = NULL.

Because virtqueue_detach_unused_buf_split() clears
vq->split.desc_state[i].data = NULL without advancing vq->last_used_idx,
if virtsnd_pcm_notify_cb() acquires queue->lock between those two loops,
it will see queue->vqueue != NULL and call virtqueue_get_buf() on a ring
whose descriptor state was already cleared, triggering BAD_RING() in
virtqueue_get_buf_ctx_split() if the device wrote a used entry just before
virtio_reset_device().

In addition, virtsnd_ctl_notify_cb() in sound/virtio/virtio_ctl_msg.c and
virtsnd_event_notify_cb() in sound/virtio/virtio_card.c do not check
queue->vqueue under queue->lock at all before calling virtqueue_get_buf(),
virtqueue_enable_cb(), or virtsnd_event_send().

Should queue->vqueue = NULL be set inside the same queue->lock critical
section that calls virtqueue_detach_unused_buf(), and should
virtsnd_ctl_notify_cb() and virtsnd_event_notify_cb() also check
if (!queue->vqueue) under queue->lock?

[Severity: High]
On a non-staged capture stream, won't resuming from pause via
SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE re-submit the entire capture buffer while
descriptors from before the pause are still queued or hold unread data?

When SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START initially starts a non-staged capture stream,
virtsnd_pcm_start_queue() calls virtsnd_pcm_msg_send(vss, 0,
vss->buffer_bytes) to queue all vss->nmsgs descriptors with
msg->length = period_bytes.

When SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_PUSH pauses the stream,
virtsnd_pcm_stop_device() sends VIRTIO_SND_R_PCM_STOP and sets
vss->device_running = false without releasing the pending RX descriptors.

When SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE later resumes the stream,
virtsnd_pcm_start_queue() sees !vss->device_running == true and calls
virtsnd_pcm_msg_send(vss, 0, vss->buffer_bytes) again across the whole
buffer:

        msg->length += n;
        if (msg->length == period_bytes) {

For descriptors still pending in the virtqueue, msg->length is incremented
to 2 * period_bytes, corrupting vss->hw_ptr accounting on error status and
preventing subsequent ACK re-submissions. For descriptors that already
completed before or during pause and are waiting for userspace to read and
ACK them, virtsnd_pcm_msg_send() re-queues them into the RX virtqueue,
allowing the device to overwrite unread audio samples via DMA.

[Severity: Medium]
As reported by Sashiko on v9 [1], what happens when running is true here
and virtsnd_pcm_start_queue(vss, epoch) fails, or when it succeeds on a
staged capture stream?

When SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_PUSH is rejected by the device in
virtsnd_pcm_stop_device(), vss->device_running remains true. When
SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE subsequently runs (either from
snd_pcm_undo_pause(), which ignores the trigger return value, or a later
resume on a linked substream), virtsnd_pcm_trigger() sees running == true
and returns virtsnd_pcm_start_queue(vss, epoch) directly.

If virtsnd_pcm_start_queue() fails (for example, if
virtsnd_pcm_capture_refresh_mode_locked() returns -EPIPE after a
stop_threshold update, or virtqueue_add_sgs() fails while refilling
descriptors completed after PAUSE_PUSH), this early return bypasses
virtsnd_pcm_start_failed(vss, epoch), leaving vss->xfer_enabled,
vss->stopped, substream->runtime->stop_operating, and vss->xfer_xrun
unlatched and failing to schedule elapsed_period work to wake blocked
staged-capture readers.

Conversely, if virtsnd_pcm_start_queue() succeeds for staged capture on
this running == true path, returning early skips the
virtsnd_pcm_schedule_period_elapsed(vss) call at the end of the
SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START / SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE case.

[Severity: Medium]
As reported by Sashiko on v9 [1], can a non-staged capture stream stall if
VIRTIO_SND_R_PCM_STOP is rejected during SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_PUSH?

Before calling virtsnd_pcm_stop_device(vss, epoch),
SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_PUSH sets vss->xfer_enabled = false. While
VIRTIO_SND_R_PCM_STOP is in flight, the device is still running and can
complete queued RX buffers. In virtsnd_pcm_msg_complete(), completions for
non-staged capture advance vss->hw_ptr, clear msg->length = 0, and
decrement vss->msg_count, but skip virtsnd_pcm_schedule_period_elapsed(vss)
because vss->xfer_enabled is false.

When virtsnd_pcm_stop_device() fails and leaves vss->device_running = true,
both virtsnd_pcm_start_queue(vss, epoch) here and the subsequent
SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_PAUSE_RELEASE recovery path check:

        if (vss->direction == SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE) {
                if (vss->capture_staging)
                        rc = vss->runtime_active ? 
virtsnd_pcm_capture_send(vss) : -EBADFD;
                else if (!vss->device_running)
                        rc = virtsnd_pcm_msg_send(vss, 0, vss->buffer_bytes);
        }
        if (!rc)
                vss->xfer_enabled = true;

Because vss->device_running is still true, virtsnd_pcm_start_queue() only
sets vss->xfer_enabled = true without scheduling elapsed_period work or
refilling descriptors. If all queued RX descriptors completed while
vss->xfer_enabled was false, vss->msg_count is 0 and no period work is
scheduled, so ALSA never runs pointer/ack to re-enqueue RX buffers and the
capture stream stalls indefinitely.
