From c65409e6175adaaf9430a8b12111afcda58c7dce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 17:26:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: timer: Fix race at concurrent reads commit 4dff5c7b7093b19c19d3a100f8a3ad87cb7cd9e7 upstream. snd_timer_user_read() has a potential race among parallel reads, as qhead and qused are updated outside the critical section due to copy_to_user() calls. Move them into the critical section, and also sanitize the relevant code a bit.
