From a653820700b81c9e6f05ac23b7969ecec1a18e85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Ujfalusi peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2025 16:39:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Correct the allocation size for bytes controls

The size of the data behind of scontrol->ipc_control_data for bytes controls is: [1] sizeof(struct sof_ipc4_control_data) + // kernel only struct [2] sizeof(struct sof_abi_hdr)) + payload

The max_size specifies the size of [2] and it is coming from topology.

Change the function to take this into account and allocate adequate amount of memory behind scontrol->ipc_control_data.

With the change we will allocate [1] amount more memory to be able to hold the full size of data.
