Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: timer: fix ida_free call while not allocated
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 09:43:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821014317.40786-1-mengdewei@cqsoftware.com.cn> (raw)

In the snd_utimer_create() function, if the kasprintf() function return
NULL, snd_utimer_put_id() will be called, finally use ida_free()
to free the unallocated id 0.

the syzkaller reported the following information:
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated.

The utimer->id should be set properly before the kasprintf() function,
ensures the snd_utimer_put_id() function will free the allocated id.
