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

ASoC: SOF: ipc4-pcm: Workaround for crashed firmware on system suspend

When the system is suspended while audio is active, the sofipc4pcmhwfree() is invoked to reset the pipelines since during suspend the DSP is turned off, streams will be re-started after resume.

If the firmware crashes during while audio is running (or when we reset the stream before suspend) then the sofipc4setmultipipelinestate() will fail with IPC error and the state change is interrupted. This will cause misalignment between the kernel and firmware state on next DSP boot resulting errors returned by firmware for IPC messages, eventually failing the audio resume. On stream close the errors are ignored so the kernel state will be corrected on the next DSP boot, so the second boot after the DSP panic.

If sofipc4triggerpipelines() is called from sofipc4pcmhwfree() then state parameter is SOFIPC4PIPERESET and only in this case.

Treat a forced pipeline reset similarly to how we treat a pcmfree by ignoring error on state sending to allow the kernel's state to be consistent with the state the firmware will have after the next boot.
