sound/oss: fix deadlock in sequencer_ioctl(SNDCTL_SEQ_OUTOFBAND)
A deadlock can be initiated by userspace via ioctl(SNDCTL_SEQ_OUTOFBAND) on /dev/sequencer with TMR_ECHO midi event. In this case the control flow is: sound_ioctl() -> case SND_DEV_SEQ: case SND_DEV_SEQ2: sequencer_ioctl() -> case SNDCTL_SEQ_OUTOFBAND: spin_lock_irqsave(&lock,flags); play_event(); -> case EV_TIMING: seq_timing_event() -> case TMR_ECHO: seq_copy_to_input() -> spin_lock_irqsave(&lock,flags); It seems that spin_lock_irqsave() around play_event() is not necessary, because the only other call location in seq_startplay() makes the call without acquiring spinlock. So, the patch just removes spinlocks around play_event(). By the way, it removes unreachable code in seq_timing_event(), since (seq_mode == SEQ_2) case is handled in the beginning. Compile tested only. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org). Signed-off-by: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@ispras.ru> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
