Hello,

The following program triggers a BUG in snd_ctl_find_numid:

// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sound/asound.h>

int main()
{
struct snd_ctl_tlv tlv;
int fd = open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR);
tlv.numid = 0;
tlv.length = 8;
ioctl(fd, SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_TLV_WRITE, &tlv);
return 0;
}

Do I understand correctly that you meant a kernel WARNING with a stack
trace as a "BUG"? If so, the patch below should cover it.


thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: control: Avoid kernel warnings from tlv ioctl with
numid 0

When a TLV ioctl with numid zero is handled, the driver may spew a
kernel warning with a stack trace at each call. The check was
intended obviously only for a kernel driver, but not for a user
interaction. Let's fix it.

This was spotted by syzkaller fuzzer.

Yes, I guess it's just a BUG warning message.
