    ALSA: info: Drop WARN_ON() from buffer NULL sanity check · 60379ba0
    Takashi Iwai authored
    snd_info_get_line() has a sanity check of NULL buffer -- both buffer
    itself being NULL and buffer->buffer being NULL.  Basically both
    checks are valid and necessary, but the problem is that it's with
    snd_BUG_ON() macro that triggers WARN_ON().  The latter condition
    (NULL buffer->buffer) can be met arbitrarily by user since the buffer
    is allocated at the first write, so it means that user can trigger
    WARN_ON() at will.
    
    This patch addresses it by simply moving buffer->buffer NULL check out
    of snd_BUG_ON() so that spurious WARNING is no longer triggered.
