When the trigger=off is passed for a PCM OSS stream, it sets the start_threshold of the given substream to the boundary size, so that it won't be automatically started. This can be problematic for a capture stream, unfortunately, as detected by syzkaller. The scenario is like the following: - In __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() that is invoked from snd_pcm_oss_read() loop, we have a check whether the stream was already started or the stream can be auto-started. - The function at this check returns 0 with trigger=off since we explicitly disable the auto-start. - The loop continues and repeats calling __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() tightly, which may lead to an RCU stall. This patch fixes the bug by simply allowing the wait for non-started stream in the case of OSS capture. For native usages, it's supposed to be done by the caller side (which is user-space), hence it returns zero like before. (In theory, __snd_pcm_lib_xfer() could wait even for the native API usage cases, too; but I'd like to stay in a safer side for not breaking the existing stuff for now.)

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
