Hi, Takashi:
One point I want to be clear: if an endless recursive loop is detected, should we return 0, or a negative error code?

This patch fixes the bug by adding a bitmap to `struct mixer_build` to keep track of the checked ids by `check_input_term` and stop the execution if some id has been checked (similar to how parse_audio_unit handles unitid argument).

The fix looks almost good, but we need to be careful about the bitmap check. In theory, it's possible that multiple nodes point to the same input terminal, and your patch would break that scenario. For fixing that, we need to zero-clear the termbitmap at each first invocation of check_input_term(), something like below.
Could you check whether this works?
Thinking of this further, there is another possible infinite loop. Namely, when the feature unit in the input terminal chain points to itself as the source, it'll loop endlessly without the stack overflow.
So the check of the termbitmap should be inside the loop. The revised patch is below.
thanks,
Takashi

`check_input_term` recursively calls itself with input from device side (e.g., uac_input_terminal_descriptor.bCSourceID) as argument (id). In `check_input_term`, if `check_input_term` is called with the same `id` argument as the caller, it triggers endless recursive call, resulting kernel space stack overflow.
This patch fixes the bug by adding a bitmap to `struct mixer_build` to keep track of the checked ids by `check_input_term` and stop the execution if some id has been checked (similar to how parse_audio_unit handles unitid argument).
[ The termbitmap needs to be cleared at each first check of the input terminal, so the function got split now. Also, for catching another endless loop in the input terminal chain -- where the feature unit points to itself as its source -- the termbitmap check is moved inside the parser loop. -- tiwai ]
