Takashi Iwai ba3021b2c7 ALSA: timer: Fix missing queue indices reset at SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_SELECT
snd_timer_user_tselect() reallocates the queue buffer dynamically, but
it forgot to reset its indices.  Since the read may happen
concurrently with ioctl and snd_timer_user_tselect() allocates the
buffer via kmalloc(), this may lead to the leak of uninitialized
kernel-space data, as spotted via KMSAN:

  BUG: KMSAN: use of unitialized memory in snd_timer_user_read+0x6c4/0xa10
  CPU: 0 PID: 1037 Comm: probe Not tainted 4.11.0-rc5+ #2739

This patch adds the missing reset of queue indices.  Together with the
previous fix for the ioctl/read race, we cover the whole problem.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
