    ALSA: seq: More protection for concurrent write and ioctl races · 7bd80091
    Takashi Iwai 提交于
    This patch is an attempt for further hardening against races between
    the concurrent write and ioctls.  The previous fix d15d662e
    ("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") covered the race of the
    pool initialization at writer and the pool resize ioctl by the
    client->ioctl_mutex (CVE-2018-1000004).  However, basically this mutex
    should be applied more widely to the whole write operation for
    avoiding the unexpected pool operations by another thread.
    
    The only change outside snd_seq_write() is the additional mutex
    argument to helper functions, so that we can unlock / relock the given
    mutex temporarily during schedule() call for blocking write.
