From bc26d4d06e337ade069f33d3f4377593b24e6e36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Khoroshilov Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2015 02:53:25 +0300 Subject: 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).
