[patch v3] ALSA: rawmidi: fix the get next midi device ioctl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we pass in a device which is higher than SNDRV_RAWMIDI_DEVICES then
the "next device" should be -1.  This function just returns device + 1.

But the main thing is that "device + 1" can lead to a (harmless) integer
overflow and that annoys static analysis tools.

V2:  In the first version I made negative values return -EINVAL
V3:  We shouldn't return -EINVAL for numbers which are too large but
     just set the next device to -1.
