From 7aba7242b83b6e9a56a8eb875d669cfab4eff542 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2017 15:03:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: timer: Fix race between read and ioctl commit d11662f4f798b50d8c8743f433842c3e40fe3378 upstream. The read from ALSA timer device, the function snd_timer_user_tread(), may access to an uninitialized struct snd_timer_user fields when the read is concurrently performed while the ioctl like snd_timer_user_tselect() is invoked. We have already fixed the races among ioctls via a mutex, but we seem to have forgotten the race between read vs ioctl. This patch simply applies (more exactly extends the already applied range of) tu->ioctl_lock in snd_timer_user_tread() for closing the race window.
