Hi,

I got the bug report from syzbot: 
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=c224c2af9ed367315fc048b50f008385bd5c4c3f 
.


I checked the call stack that reported the error, and then tried to 
construct a case, but it relied on some hardware

devices. My machine did not have it, so I couldn't construct it. :-(

I reviewed the code again and found that 'format->channels' in 'size = 
frames * format->channels * width'

should come from file->private_data in snd_pcm_oss_ioctl(). And 
file->private_data is initialized in snd_pcm_oss_open_file().

Maybe this patch cannot cover this problem.

But I think we can wait for this patch to be applied whether the problem 
occurs.


Thanks

Bixuan Cui
