From 64188cfbe5245d412de2139a3864e4e00b4136f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Tue, 30 May 2017 09:23:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "ALSA: usb-audio: purge needless variable length array" This reverts commit 89b593c30e83 ("ALSA: usb-audio: purge needless variable length array"). The patch turned out to cause a severe regression, triggering an Oops at snd_usb_ctl_msg(). It was overseen that snd_usb_ctl_msg() writes back the response to the given buffer, while the patch changed it to a read-only const buffer. (One should always double-check when an extra pointer cast is present...) As a simple fix, just revert the affected commit. It was merely a cleanup. Although it brings VLA again, it's clearer as a fix. We'll address the VLA later in another patch.
