Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ALSA: compress: add missing OPEN-state gate to SET_METADATA
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2026 16:25:08 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007132509.18237-4-peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007132509.18237-1-peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com>

snd_compr_set_metadata() calls stream->ops->set_metadata() straight
after copy_from_user(), without ever checking runtime->state, even
though the function's own comment says a parameter change should only
be allowed once the stream has left the OPEN state. Every other
metadata/param entry point in this file (SET_PARAMS, WRITE, ...)
enforces that gate.

A codec driver's set_metadata callback can assume SET_PARAMS has
already run and initialised its private state; calling it while the
stream is still OPEN can operate on that uninitialised state.

Add the OPEN-state check the existing comment already documents.

Fixes: 9727b490e543 ("ALSA: compress: add support for gapless playback")
