From b3defb791b26ea0683a93a4f49c77ec45ec96f10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 23:11:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: seq: Make ioctls race-free The ALSA sequencer ioctls have no protection against racy calls while the concurrent operations may lead to interfere with each other. As reported recently, for example, the concurrent calls of setting client pool with a combination of write calls may lead to either the unkillable dead-lock or UAF. As a slightly big hammer solution, this patch introduces the mutex to make each ioctl exclusive. Although this may reduce performance via parallel ioctl calls, usually it's not demanded for sequencer usages, hence it should be negligible.
