Linus Torvalds 7aa1cf254c sound fixes for 4.17-rc1
The main purpose of this pull request is a fix for a regression
 in the recent PCM OSS emulation code that may lead to RCU stall.
 Since syzkaller hits this too often, I send the pull request now
 with a minimal collection.  Possibly another pull request may
 follow before RC1.
 
 The other fixes here are for USB-audio class 2 and 3 to improve
 the parser for the clock descriptors.  These are rather cleanups
 but good for security, too.
 
 Last but not least, another included fix is the trivial one to
 remove superfluous WARN_ON() that annoyed syzbot.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
