ALSA: timer: Fix race among timer ioctls
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
ALSA timer ioctls have an open race and this may lead to a
use-after-free of timer instance object.  A simplistic fix is to make
each ioctl exclusive.  We have already tread_sem for controlling the
tread, and extend this as a global mutex to be applied to each ioctl.

The downside is, of course, the worse concurrency.  But these ioctls
aren't to be parallel accessible, in anyway, so it should be fine to
serialize there.
