From c1ea2b3c07c697bcfd40a634fcd0af585cb21574 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2016 22:13:19 +0100 Subject: ALSA: info: Return error for invalid read/write commit 6809cd682b82dfff47943850d1a8c714f971b5ca upstream. Currently the ALSA proc handler allows read or write even if the proc file were write-only or read-only. It's mostly harmless, does thing but allocating memory and ignores the input/output. But it doesn't tell user about the invalid use, and it's confusing and inconsistent in comparison with other proc files. This patch adds some sanity checks and let the proc handler returning an -EIO error when the invalid read/write is performed.
