The SOF contributors who wrote that code are all on an extended Easter week-end or vacation so we'll need more time to provide a definitive answer.
I am far from an expert on the topology, but I note that the 'data' field is only used for binary controls, where we use the maximum possible size for a control, without any arithmetic involving channels. It makes sense to me, the binary data does not have any defined structure, it's just a bunch of bytes provided as is to the firmware.
static int sof_ipc3_control_load_bytes(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev, struct snd_sof_control *scontrol)
{
struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data *cdata;
int ret;
scontrol->ipc_control_data = kzalloc(scontrol->max_size, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!scontrol->ipc_control_data)
return -ENOMEM;
In other cases, such as volumes and enums, the 'data' field doesn't seem to be used but we do use the channel information for volume and enums.
static int sof_ipc3_control_load_volume(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev, struct snd_sof_control *scontrol)
{
struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data *cdata;
int i;
/* init the volume get/put data */
scontrol->size = struct_size(cdata, chanv, scontrol->num_channels);
scontrol->ipc_control_data = kzalloc(scontrol->size, GFP_KERNEL);
static int sof_ipc3_control_load_enum(struct snd_sof_dev *sdev, struct snd_sof_control *scontrol)
{
struct sof_ipc_ctrl_data *cdata;
/* init the enum get/put data */
scontrol->size = struct_size(cdata, chanv, scontrol->num_channels);
scontrol->ipc_control_data = kzalloc(scontrol->size, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!scontrol->ipc_control_data)
Given that we have two ways of allocating the memory, I am not sure there is a problem, but I could be wrong.
I checked the v5.10.111 code and I see the same code, with the max_size being used for sof_control_load_bytes() and no channel-based arithmetic.
Can I ask how you found out about this problem, is this the result of a warning/error reported by a software tool or based on your reviews of the code?
Thanks

I some KASAN warnings, confirmed. This appears to be when control_data is
allocated as control_data.chanv
scontrol->size = 92 + 1 * sizeof(sof_ipc_ctrl_value_chan)
but being dereferenced as it was control_data.data, so the 8 bytes
"payload" is being used as a 32 bytes "payload".
I'd say the first one is scarier than the second one. This should be
two data->size and one data->data accesses in sof_process_load()
if (ipc_data_size) {
for (i = 0; i < widget->num_kcontrols; i++) {
memcpy(&process->data[offset],
wdata[i].pdata->data,
wdata[i].pdata->size);
offset += wdata[i].pdata->size;
}
}

I'm afraid, that this is still valid as of today, but in real life I
don't think it can happen.

Your analyzes are spot on, unfortunately. But...
As of today, the sof_get_control_data() is in the call path of
(ipc3-topology.c):
sof_widget_update_ipc_comp_process() -> sof_process_load() ->
sof_get_control_data()
sof_widget_update_ipc_comp_process() is the ipc_setup callback for
snd_soc_dapm_effect. If I'm not mistaken these only carries bin payload
and never MIXER/ENUM/SWITCH/VOLUME.
This means that the sof_get_control_data() is only called with
SND_SOC_TPLG_TYPE_BYTES and for that the allocated data area is correct.
This can explain why we have not seen any issues so far. This does not
renders the code right, as how it is written atm is wrong.

It makes sense to me, the binary data does not have any defined structure, it's just a bunch of bytes provided as is to the firmware.

I agree that the issue can not be triggered due to the nature of how
things are working.
