[PATCH] ALSA: scarlett2: Allow flash writes ending at segment boundary
From: Cássio Gabriel
Date: Tue May 19 2026 - 10:55:39 EST
scarlett2_hwdep_write() rejects writes when offset + count is greater than
or equal to the selected flash segment size. That incorrectly treats a
write ending exactly at the end of the segment as out of space, although
the last byte written is still within the segment.
Split invalid argument checks from the segment-space check, keep
zero-length writes as no-ops, and compare count against the remaining
segment size. This permits exact-end writes and avoids relying on
offset + count before deciding whether the request is in bounds.
