[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: ASoC: soc-compress.c: fix NULL dereference

[Qais Yousef]

In soc_new_compress() when rtd->dai_link->daynmic is set, we create the pcm
substreams with this call:

   ret = snd_pcm_new_internal(rtd->card->snd_card, new_name, num,
                                   1, 0, &be_pcm);

which passes 0 as capture_count leading to

   be_pcm->streams[SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE].substream

being NULL, hence when trying to set rtd a few lines below we get an oops.
Fix by removing this line of code since CAPTURE substream will always be NULL.

Not sure if this is the correct fix but that's what I could come up with my
limited knowledge.

I think the more correct solution would be to use the value of
rtd->dai_link->dpcm_playback and rtd->dai_link->dpcm_capture in the args of
snd_pcm_new_internal() for playback_count and capture_count.
