In this case, the value of ret is -12.
When LZ4_decompress_generic() fails, it will return "return (int) (- ((const char *) ip) - src) -1;"

Therefore, it can be clearly stated that the decompression has been carried out
to the 11 bytes of src, so reading the value of the first 11 bytes of out is
effective. Therefore, my patch should be more accurate as follows:
- 16, 1, out, rq->outputsize, true);
+ 16, 1, out, (ret < 0 && rq->inputsize > 0) ?
+ (0 - ret) : rq->outputsize, true);

This just deleted the output.
