[PATCH] ALSA: pcm: Fill silence on buffers at hw_params

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The current PCM code doesn't initialize explicitly the buffers
allocated for PCM streams, hence it might leak some uninitialized
kernel data by mmapping or reading the buffer before actually reading
or writing.

Since this is a common problem, let's initialize the data on the
buffers each hw_params properly.  For that, an existing helper
function is exposed as snd_pcm_fill_silence_frames() and call it from
snd_pcm_hw_params().
