From: Alan Young <consult.awy@xxxxxxxxx> commit b6409dd6bdc03aa178bbff0d80db2a30d29b63ac upstream. When control_compat.c:copy_ctl_value_to_user() is used, by ctl_elem_read_user() & ctl_elem_write_user(), it must also copy back the snd_ctl_elem_id value that may have been updated (filled in) by the call to snd_ctl_elem_read/snd_ctl_elem_write(). This matches the functionality provided by snd_ctl_elem_read_user() and snd_ctl_elem_write_user(), via snd_ctl_build_ioff(). Without this, and without making additional calls to snd_ctl_info() which are unnecessary when using the non-compat calls, a userspace application will not know the numid value for the element and consequently will not be able to use the poll/read interface on the control file to determine which elements have updates.
