commit e15dc99dbb9cf99f6432e8e3c0b3a8f7a3403a86 upstream.
The commit 02a5d6925cd3 ("ALSA: pcm: Avoid potential races between OSS ioctls and read/write") split the PCM preparation code to a locked version, and it added a sanity check of runtime->oss.prepare flag along with the change. This leaded to an endless loop when the stream gets XRUN: namely, snd_pcm_oss_write3() and co call snd_pcm_oss_prepare() without setting runtime->oss.prepare flag and the loop continues until the PCM state reaches to another one.
As the function is supposed to execute the preparation unconditionally, drop the invalid state check there.
The bug was triggered by syzkaller.
