[PATCH 2/2] selftests: ALSA: pcmtest: Make room for the longest fill pattern

From: HyeongJun An

Date: Tue Oct 20 2026 - 06:24:38 EST


The driver accepts fill patterns of up to 4096 bytes, as pcmtest.rst
documents. The test reads each pattern into a 1024-byte buffer, using
the length the driver reports. So a pattern longer than 1024 bytes
overflows the buffer into the next pattern and past the array.

Size the buffer to the driver's maximum.
