Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: pcm: Don't WARN on NULL dma_area in the default mmap fault handler
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 14:25:02 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030112502.22227-1-Dmitry.Chumachenko@cyberprotect.ru> (raw)

During fuzz testing, the following issue was discovered.

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1734 at sound/core/pcm_native.c:3835

snd_pcm_mmap_data_fault() guards the default RAM-buffer path with
WARN_ON_ONCE(!runtime->dma_area). As commit d2913a07d903 notes, a driver
may allow mmap before dma_area is set up, so this state is reachable from
user space: mmap the PCM data region and fault it while the buffer is not
allocated. The WARN then fires on a user-triggerable path and panics a
kernel with panic_on_warn.

Drop the WARN; the NULL check and VM_FAULT_SIGBUS return stay, which is
the correct silent handling.

Fixes: d2913a07d903 ("ALSA: pcm: Add sanity NULL check for the default mmap fault handler")
