    ALSA: control: Handle numid overflow · ac902c11
    Lars-Peter Clausen authored
    Each control gets automatically assigned its numids when the control is created.
    The allocation is done by incrementing the numid by the amount of allocated
    numids per allocation. This means that excessive creation and destruction of
    controls (e.g. via SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD/REMOVE) can cause the id to
    eventually overflow. Currently when this happens for the control that caused the
    overflow kctl->id.numid + kctl->count will also over flow causing it to be
    smaller than kctl->id.numid. Most of the code assumes that this is something
    that can not happen, so we need to make sure that it won't happen
