ALSA: core: Fix unexpected error at replacing user TLV
commit 88c54cdf61f508ebcf8da2d819f5dfc03e954d1d upstream. When user tries to replace the user-defined control TLV, the kernel checks the change of its content via memcmp(). The problem is that the kernel passes the return value from memcmp() as is. memcmp() gives a non-zero negative value depending on the comparison result, and this shall be recognized as an error code. The patch covers that corner-case, return 1 properly for the changed TLV. Fixes: 8aa9b586e420 ("[ALSA] Control API - more robust TLV implementation") Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
