From 6cc0e3dd8ad7858810b37cbf39f4e9f0debb0712 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Gernoth Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 23:42:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: emu10k1: don't deadlock in proc-functions commit 91bf0c2dcb935a87e5c0795f5047456b965fd143 upstream. The functions snd_emu10k1_proc_spdif_read and snd_emu1010_fpga_read acquire the emu_lock before accessing the FPGA. The function used to access the FPGA (snd_emu1010_fpga_read) also tries to take the emu_lock which causes a deadlock. Remove the outer locking in the proc-functions (guarding only the already safe fpga read) to prevent this deadlock. [removed superfluous flags variables too -- tiwai] Signed-off-by: Michael Gernoth Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
