Subject: [PATCH 4.9 01/68] ALSA: pcm: Add missing copy ops check before clearing buffer
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>
[ this is a fix specific to 4.4.y and 4.9.y stable trees;
4.14.y and older already contain the right fix ]
The stable 4.4.y and 4.9.y backports of the upstream commit
add9d56d7b37 ("ALSA: pcm: Avoid possible info leaks from PCM stream
buffers") dropped the check of substream->ops->copy_user as copy_user
is a new member that isn't present in the older kernels.
Although upstream drivers should work without this NULL check, it may
cause a regression with a downstream driver that sets some
inaccessible address to runtime->dma_area, leading to a crash at
worst.
Since such drivers must have ops->copy member on older kernels instead
of ops->copy_user, this patch adds the missing check of ops->copy for
fixing the regression.
