Frequently Asked Questions
1
What conditions are required to trigger the issue?
The affected rt1017-sdca-sdw codec driver must add a SoundWire stream while its stream_config structure has not been initialized. The uninitialized type field can then be copied into the stream configuration.
2
What is the intended safe stream type after the fix?
The fix zero-initializes stream_config, causing its type field to default to SDW_STREAM_PCM.
3
How can I determine whether a kernel includes the fix?
Check whether the kernel source for the rt1017-sdca-sdw driver zero-initializes stream_config before passing it to sdw_stream_add_slave(). The provided stable references identify commits containing the correction.
