This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ALSA: control: Apply sanity check of input values for user elements to the 6.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: alsa-control-apply-sanity-check-of-input-values-for-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7429979de9407df4b720d136ccdb09dc6f183efd Author: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jun 16 09:34:44 2024 +0200 ALSA: control: Apply sanity check of input values for user elements [ Upstream commit 50ed081284fe2bfd1f25e8b92f4f6a4990e73c0a ] Although we have already a mechanism for sanity checks of input values for control writes, it's not applied unless the kconfig CONFIG_SND_CTL_INPUT_VALIDATION is set due to the performance reason. Nevertheless, it still makes sense to apply the same check for user elements despite of its cost, as that's the only way to filter out the invalid values; the user controls are handled solely in ALSA core code, and there is no corresponding driver, after all. This patch adds the same input value validation for user control elements at its put callback. The kselftest will be happier with this change, as the incorrect values will be bailed out now with errors. For other normal controls, the check is applied still only when CONFIG_SND_CTL_INPUT_VALIDATION is set.
