What you exactly mean by this?

Curretly driver is sending 1024 bytes of buffer, why is DSP not happy with this size?

Copying the comment sent to Dmitry's queries:
args[0] is expected to carry the information about the total number of attributes to be copied from DSP
and not the information about the size to be copied. Passing the size information leads to a failure
suggesting bad arguments passed to DSP.


call which is resulting in memory corruption. Pass proper size
What does proper size mean?

args[1] is not carrying the information for full 256 sized array. It's sending the input argument as the first
index of the array, &dsp_attr_buf[1](resulting in total 255 size req), so sending 256 length will result in
copying of information out of the array which would result in problems

to avoid the corruption.

is DSP expecting 255 *4 bytes instead of 256 *4?
DSP is expecting the information about the number of attributes to be updated, i.e., 255.
