Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ALSA: pcm: Return -ENODEV instead of -EFAULT in snd_pcm_open()
Date: Mon,  6 Jul 2026 15:49:50 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706084950.49331-7-phucduc.bui@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260706084950.49331-1-phucduc.bui@gmail.com>

From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@gmail.com>

When try_module_get() fails in snd_pcm_open(), the owning module is going
away and the device is no longer usable, so -EFAULT ("bad address") is the
wrong error. Return -ENODEV, matching the other unavailable-device paths
in this function(the NULL pcm check and the card->shutdown check).
This changes the errno reported to userspace on this rare race.
No other behaviour changes.
