[PATCH 4.8 028/138] ALSA: seq: Fix time account regression

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 09 2016 - 06:27:25 EST


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

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 9b50898ad96c793a8f7cde9d8f281596d752a7dd upstream.

The recent rewrite of the sequencer time accounting using timespec64
in the commit [3915bf294652: ALSA: seq_timer: use monotonic times
internally] introduced a bad regression. Namely, the time reported
back doesn't increase but goes back and forth.

The culprit was obvious: the delta is stored to the result (cur_time =
delta), instead of adding the delta (cur_time += delta)!

Let's fix it.
