[PATCH 4.9 05/44] ALSA: pcm: Dont treat NULL chmap as a fatal error

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jun 27 2017 - 10:38:23 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 2deaeaf102d692cb6f764123b1df7aa118a8e97c upstream.

The standard PCM chmap helper callbacks treat the NULL info->chmap as
a fatal error and spews the kernel warning with stack trace when
CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is on. This was OK, originally it was supposed to be
always static and non-NULL. But, as the recent addition of Intel LPE
audio driver shows, the chmap content may vary dynamically, and it can
be even NULL when disconnected. The user still sees the kernel
warning unnecessarily.

For clearing such a confusion, this patch simply removes the
snd_BUG_ON() in each place, just returns an error without warning.
