Takashi Iwai f1069cfeda ALSA: pcm: Remove incorrect snd_BUG_ON() usages
commit fe08f34d06 upstream.

syzkaller triggered kernel warnings through PCM OSS emulation at
closing a stream:
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 3502 at sound/core/pcm_lib.c:1635
  snd_pcm_hw_param_first+0x289/0x690 sound/core/pcm_lib.c:1635
  Call Trace:
  ....

   __fput+0x327/0x7e0 fs/file_table.c:210
   ....

This happens while it tries to open and set up the aloop device
concurrently.  The warning above (invoked from snd_BUG_ON() macro) is
to detect the unexpected logical error where snd_pcm_hw_refine() call
shouldn't fail.  The theory is true for the case where the hw_params
config rules are static.  But for an aloop device, the hw_params rule
condition does vary dynamically depending on the connected target;
when another device is opened and changes the parameters, the device
connected in another side is also affected, and it caused the error
from snd_pcm_hw_refine().

That is, the simplest "solution" for this is to remove the incorrect
assumption of static rules, and treat such an error as a normal error
path.  As there are a couple of other places using snd_BUG_ON()
incorrectly, this patch removes these spurious snd_BUG_ON() calls.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
