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.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
