I'm assuming I'll just get this through the normal sound fixes pull request?
Also, just for future issues, I really wish people would edit the call
traces to be a bit more legible. You did remove some of the excessive
KASAN noise, but the stack trace hex numbers are a bit distracting
too.
Of course, the only reason those hex numbers are there in the first
place was that the oops was generated with an older kernel - we don't
even print them out any more.
Not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it just because I generally
encourage people to try to edit down oopses etc to the really relevant
parts (the kernel often spits out a lot of stuff that isn't really
relevant for the particular bug, because it *might* be)
Thanks,
Linus
