Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ASoC cs35l34 audio driver. During runtime suspend, the driver fails to properly drain the threaded Interrupt Request (IRQ) handler. This allows the IRQ handler to execute after the hardware has been suspended, leading to attempts to access non-existent hardware registers. This could result in unexpected system behavior or a denial of service.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-16 11:38:52 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: cs35l34: drain threaded IRQ before runtime suspend

cs35l34_runtime_suspend() currently switches the codec into
regcache_cache_only(true), asserts reset low, and powers the device off
without first quiescing the threaded IRQ registered by
devm_request_threaded_irq(). That leaves a window where
cs35l34_irq_thread() can still run after suspend has removed live
hardware access.

A running system can reach this during runtime PM while the driver still
has critical fault IRQs unmasked. If the threaded handler runs in that
window, it reads volatile INT_STATUS_1..4 after cache_only has been
enabled, ignores the regmap_read() failures, and can still execute the
PROT_RELEASE_CTL release sequence or the BST fault power-down writes.

Use disable_irq() before entering cache_only/reset-low/power-off so any
in-flight threaded handler is drained and no new IRQ thread can run
while the device is suspended. Re-enable the IRQ only after
runtime_resume() has restored live register access with regcache_sync().
Since probe only logs request_threaded_irq() failures and keeps going,
track whether the IRQ was actually installed before disabling or
re-enabling it.
