[ This is essentially the same fix as commitae769d3556, but it's adapted to the latest code for 5.7; hence it contains no Fixes or other tags for avoid backport confusion -- tiwai ] The recent fix for the OOB access in PCM OSS plugins (commitf2ecf903ef: "ALSA: pcm: oss: Avoid plugin buffer overflow") caused a regression on OSS applications. The patch introduced the size check in client and slave size calculations to limit to each plugin's buffer size, but I overlooked that some code paths call those without allocating the buffer but just for estimation. This patch fixes the bug by skipping the size check for those code paths while keeping checking in the actual transfer calls.

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.
