This is a WARN_ON() to catch the inconsistent hw_params call. This shouldn't happen in theory, but the reality looks weirder.
The necessary "fix" is just to get rid of snd_BUG_ON(), but still wonder which condition it hits. If it's an empty parameter, the previous snd_pcm_hw_refine() should have caught and returned the error beforehand...
Hi Takashi,
The reproducer for this is trivially simple:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/repro.syz?id=4913841943085056
(and I guess perf_event_open is red herring).
But the really important part there is probably this: Fault:true FaultCall:2 FaultNth:18 And you can see where it actually happened in the raw console log:
Raw console output: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/log.txt?id=6314122077536256
Does it explain things?
In anyway this can't be a real crash, let's remove the warning to stop the chorus of syzbot birds.
thanks,
Takashi

snd_pcm_hw_params() may hit WARN_ON() when an inconsistent parameter set is passed. Although this should have been caught by the former snd_pcm_hw_refine() and returned the error, syzkaller succeeded to pass through and hit the WARN_ON(), which in turn made it panic unnecessarily.
For reducing this kind of noise, let's drop snd_BUG_ON() check.
