Subject: [PATCH 3.12 072/206] ALSA: pcm: Zero-clear reserved fields of PCM status ioctl in compat mode

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 317168d0c766defd14b3d0e9c2c4a9a258b803ee upstream.

In compat mode, we copy each field of snd_pcm_status struct but don't
touch the reserved fields, and this leaves uninitialized values
there.  Meanwhile the native ioctl does zero-clear the whole
structure, so we should follow the same rule in compat mode, too.
