4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2e2c177ca84aff092c3c96714b0f6a12900f3946 ] In slave_update() of vmaster code ignores the error from the slave get() callback and copies the values. It's not only about the missing error code but also that this may potentially lead to a leak of uninitialized variables when the slave get() don't clear them. This patch fixes slave_update() not to copy the potentially uninitialized values when an error is returned from the slave get() callback, and to propagate the error value properly.
