Although some of them implement unique event as well as the lock event, the others supports the lock event only. The condition statement comes from the former, I guess. ALSA BeBoB, OXFW, and Fireface drivers are the latter. Later I'll post the similar patch for ALSA BeBoB driver. Anyway, thank you to find the issue ;) > diff --git a/sound/firewire/fireface/ff-hwdep.c b/sound/firewire/fireface/ff-hwdep.c > index 4b2e0dff5ddb..ea64a2a41eea 100644 > --- a/sound/firewire/fireface/ff-hwdep.c > +++ b/sound/firewire/fireface/ff-hwdep.c > @@ -35,13 +35,11 @@ static long hwdep_read(struct snd_hwdep *hwdep, char __user *buf, long count, > } > > memset(&event, 0, sizeof(event)); > - if (ff->dev_lock_changed) { > - event.lock_status.type = SNDRV_FIREWIRE_EVENT_LOCK_STATUS; > - event.lock_status.status = (ff->dev_lock_count > 0); > - ff->dev_lock_changed = false; > + event.lock_status.type = SNDRV_FIREWIRE_EVENT_LOCK_STATUS; > + event.lock_status.status = (ff->dev_lock_count > 0); > + ff->dev_lock_changed = false; > > - count = min_t(long, count, sizeof(event.lock_status)); > - } > + count = min_t(long, count, sizeof(event.lock_status)); > > spin_unlock_irq(&ff->lock); > > -- > 2.29.2 Thanks Takashi Sakamoto
