SIGSEGV on hangup: capture thread calls writeAudio() via JNI after teardown() has freed the native engine handle. TOCTOU race between the nativeHandle==0L check and destroy() on the ViewModel thread. Fix: CountDownLatch(2) — audio threads count down after exiting loops, teardown() awaits before destroy(). 2 Kotlin files, no Rust changes.

# Fix: Capture/Playout Thread Use-After-Free on Hangup
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
App crashes (SIGSEGV) when hanging up a call. The capture thread (`wzp-capture`) calls `engine.writeAudio()` via JNI after `teardown()` has freed the native engine handle. Same race exists for the playout thread's `readAudio()`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Root cause:** TOCTOU race between the `nativeHandle == 0L` check in `WzpEngine.writeAudio()`/`readAudio()` and `destroy()` freeing the native memory on the ViewModel thread. Audio threads can't be joined (libcrypto TLS destructor crash), so there's no synchronization between `stopAudio()` and `destroy()`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Full forensics:** `debug/INCIDENT-2026-04-06-capture-thread-use-after-free.md`

|
||||
## Solution: Destroy Latch
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `CountDownLatch(2)` that both audio threads count down after exiting their loops. `teardown()` awaits the latch (with timeout) before calling `destroy()`, guaranteeing no in-flight JNI calls.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Add a drain latch to `AudioPipeline`
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `android/app/src/main/java/com/wzp/audio/AudioPipeline.kt`
|
||||
|
||||
Add a `CountDownLatch` field:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch
|
||||
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit
|
||||
|
||||
class AudioPipeline(private val context: Context) {
|
||||
// ... existing fields ...
|
||||
|
||||
/** Latch counted down by each audio thread after exiting its loop.
|
||||
* stop() does NOT wait on this — teardown waits via awaitDrain(). */
|
||||
private var drainLatch: CountDownLatch? = null
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In `start()`, create the latch before spawning threads:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
fun start(engine: WzpEngine) {
|
||||
if (running) return
|
||||
running = true
|
||||
drainLatch = CountDownLatch(2) // one for capture, one for playout
|
||||
|
||||
captureThread = Thread({
|
||||
runCapture(engine)
|
||||
drainLatch?.countDown() // signal: capture loop exited
|
||||
parkThread()
|
||||
}, "wzp-capture").apply { ... }
|
||||
|
||||
playoutThread = Thread({
|
||||
runPlayout(engine)
|
||||
drainLatch?.countDown() // signal: playout loop exited
|
||||
parkThread()
|
||||
}, "wzp-playout").apply { ... }
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add `awaitDrain()` — called by ViewModel before `destroy()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
/** Block until both audio threads have exited their loops (max 200ms).
|
||||
* After this returns, no more JNI calls to the engine will be made. */
|
||||
fun awaitDrain(): Boolean {
|
||||
return drainLatch?.await(200, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) ?: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`stop()` remains unchanged (non-blocking, sets `running = false`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Update `CallViewModel.teardown()` to await drain
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `android/app/src/main/java/com/wzp/ui/call/CallViewModel.kt`
|
||||
|
||||
Change teardown to wait for audio threads before destroying:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
private fun teardown(stopService: Boolean = true) {
|
||||
Log.i(TAG, "teardown: stopping audio, stopService=$stopService")
|
||||
val hadCall = audioStarted
|
||||
CallService.onStopFromNotification = null
|
||||
stopAudio() // sets running=false (non-blocking)
|
||||
stopStatsPolling()
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for audio threads to exit their loops before destroying the engine.
|
||||
// This guarantees no in-flight JNI calls to writeAudio/readAudio.
|
||||
val drained = audioPipeline?.awaitDrain() ?: true
|
||||
if (!drained) {
|
||||
Log.w(TAG, "teardown: audio threads did not drain in time")
|
||||
}
|
||||
audioPipeline = null
|
||||
|
||||
Log.i(TAG, "teardown: stopping engine")
|
||||
try { engine?.stopCall() } catch (e: Exception) { Log.w(TAG, "stopCall err: $e") }
|
||||
try { engine?.destroy() } catch (e: Exception) { Log.w(TAG, "destroy err: $e") }
|
||||
engine = null
|
||||
engineInitialized = false
|
||||
// ... rest unchanged
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key change:** `awaitDrain()` is called AFTER `stopAudio()` (which sets `running=false`) but BEFORE `engine?.destroy()`. The latch guarantees both threads have exited their `while(running)` loops and will never call `writeAudio`/`readAudio` again.
|
||||
|
||||
Also move `audioPipeline = null` to after `awaitDrain()` to keep the reference alive for the latch call.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Move `stopAudio()` pipeline nulling
|
||||
|
||||
**File:** `android/app/src/main/java/com/wzp/ui/call/CallViewModel.kt`
|
||||
|
||||
In `stopAudio()`, do NOT null out the pipeline — let `teardown()` handle it after drain:
|
||||
|
||||
```kotlin
|
||||
private fun stopAudio() {
|
||||
if (!audioStarted) return
|
||||
audioPipeline?.stop() // sets running=false
|
||||
// DON'T null audioPipeline here — teardown() needs it for awaitDrain()
|
||||
audioRouteManager?.unregister()
|
||||
audioRouteManager?.setSpeaker(false)
|
||||
_isSpeaker.value = false
|
||||
audioStarted = false
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|

## Files to Modify
|
||||
|
||||
| File | What changes |
|
||||
|------|-------------|
|
||||
| `android/.../audio/AudioPipeline.kt` | Add `CountDownLatch`, `countDown()` in threads, `awaitDrain()` method |
|
||||
| `android/.../ui/call/CallViewModel.kt` | `teardown()` calls `awaitDrain()` before `destroy()`; `stopAudio()` doesn't null pipeline |
|
||||
|
||||
## What Does NOT Change
|
||||
|
||||
- `WzpEngine.kt` — the `nativeHandle == 0L` guard stays as defense-in-depth
|
||||
- `jni_bridge.rs` — `panic::catch_unwind` stays as last resort
|
||||
- `AudioPipeline.stop()` — remains non-blocking
|
||||
- Thread parking — still needed to avoid libcrypto TLS crash
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build APK, install on test device
|
||||
2. Make a call, hang up — verify no crash in logcat (`adb logcat -s AndroidRuntime:E DEBUG:F`)
|
||||
3. Rapid call/hangup/call/hangup cycles — stress the teardown path
|
||||
4. Check logcat for `teardown: audio threads did not drain in time` — should never appear under normal conditions
|
||||
5. Verify debug report still works after hangup (latch doesn't interfere with report collection)
