Subject: [PATCH] selftests/alsa: Fix the step check for INTEGER controls
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 21:38:32 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903123832.97377-1-sammiee5311@gmail.com> (raw)

The modulo sits inside the subtraction, so the check evaluates
int_val - (min % step) rather than (int_val - min) % step. The
INTEGER64 branch below it is parenthesised correctly.

The written form passes only when the value equals min % step, and such
a value is always on a step boundary, so it never misses a real
violation. It only reports valid values as invalid.

snd-aloop declares step 1 on four controls, so every non-zero value on
them is reported. Before:

  # PCM Rate Shift 100000.0 value 100000 invalid for step 1 minimum 80000
  # Totals: pass:660 fail:101 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:296 error:0

After, same card, nothing else changed:

  # Totals: pass:740 fail:21 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:296 error:0

Eighteen files under sound/ declare a non-zero step.
