The recent fix for the hw constraints for implicit feedback streams
via commit e4ea77f8e53f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Always apply the hw
constraints for implicit fb sync") added the check of the matching
endpoints and whether those EPs are already opened. This is needed
and correct, per se, even for the normal streams without the implicit
feedback, as the endpoint setup is exclusive.
However, it's reported that there seem applications that behave in
unexpected ways to update the hw_params without clearing the previous
setup via hw_free, and those hit a problem now: then hw_params is
called with still the previous EP setup kept, hence it's restricted
with the previous own setup. Although the obvious fix is to call
snd_pcm_hw_free() API in the application side, it's a kind of
unwelcome change.
This patch tries to ease the situation: in the endpoint check, we add
a couple of more conditions and now skip the endpoint that is being
used only by the stream in question itself. That is, in addition to
the presence check of ep (ep->cur_audiofmt is non-NULL), when the
following conditions are met, we skip such an ep:
- ep->opened == 1, and
- ep->cur_audiofmt == subs->cur_audiofmt.
subs->cur_audiofmt is non-NULL only if it's a re-setup of hw_params,
and ep->cur_audiofmt points to the currently set up parameters. So if
those match, it must be this stream itself.

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.
