From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de
commit b088b53e20c7d09b5ab84c5688e609f478e5c417 upstream.
The extra hw constraint rule for the formats the aloop driver introduced has a slight flaw, where it doesn't return a positive value when the mask got changed. It came from the fact that it's basically a copy&paste from snd_hw_constraint_mask64(). The original code is supposed to be a single-shot and it modifies the mask bits only once and never after, while what we need for aloop is the dynamic hw rule that limits the mask bits.
This difference results in the inconsistent state, as the hw_refine doesn't apply the dependencies fully. The worse and surprisingly result is that it causes a crash in OSS emulation when multiple full-duplex reads/writes are performed concurrently (I leave why it triggers Oops to readers as a homework).
For fixing this, replace a few open-codes with the standard snd_mask_*() macros.
