The usb_control_msg() function expects __u16 types and performs the endianness conversions by itself. However, in three places, a conversion is performed before it is handed over to usb_control_msg(), which leads to a double conversion (= no conversion): * snd_usb_nativeinstruments_boot_quirk() * snd_nativeinstruments_control_get() * snd_nativeinstruments_control_put() Caught by sparse: sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:512:38: warning: incorrect type in argument 6 (different base types) sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:512:38: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [usertype] index sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:512:38: got restricted __le16 [usertype] <noident> sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:543:35: warning: incorrect type in argument 5 (different base types) sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:543:35: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [usertype] value sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:543:35: got restricted __le16 [usertype] <noident> sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:543:56: warning: incorrect type in argument 6 (different base types) sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:543:56: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [usertype] index sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c:543:56: got restricted __le16 [usertype] <noident> sound/usb/quirks.c:502:35: warning: incorrect type in argument 5 (different base types) sound/usb/quirks.c:502:35: expected unsigned short [unsigned] [usertype] value sound/usb/quirks.c:502:35: got restricted __le16 [usertype] <noident> Signed-off-by: Eldad Zack <eldad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Daniel Mack <zonque@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c | 4 ++-- sound/usb/quirks.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c +++ b/sound/usb/mixer_quirks.c @@ -396,7 +396,7 @@ static int snd_nativeinstruments_control else ret = usb_control_msg(dev, usb_rcvctrlpipe(dev, 0), bRequest, USB_TYPE_VENDOR | USB_RECIP_DEVICE | USB_DIR_IN, - 0, cpu_to_le16(wIndex), + 0, wIndex, &tmp, sizeof(tmp), 1000); up_read(&mixer->chip->shutdown_rwsem); @@ -427,7 +427,7 @@ static int snd_nativeinstruments_control else ret = usb_control_msg(dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(dev, 0), bRequest, USB_TYPE_VENDOR | USB_RECIP_DEVICE | USB_DIR_OUT, - cpu_to_le16(wValue), cpu_to_le16(wIndex), + wValue, wIndex, NULL, 0, 1000); up_read(&mixer->chip->shutdown_rwsem); --- a/sound/usb/quirks.c +++ b/sound/usb/quirks.c @@ -486,7 +486,7 @@ static int snd_usb_nativeinstruments_boo { int ret = usb_control_msg(dev, usb_sndctrlpipe(dev, 0), 0xaf, USB_TYPE_VENDOR | USB_RECIP_DEVICE, - cpu_to_le16(1), 0, NULL, 0, 1000); + 1, 0, NULL, 0, 1000); if (ret < 0) return ret; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from eldad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.4/alsa-usb-audio-fix-endianness-bug-in-snd_nativeinstruments_.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
