Sorry for the late response, as I've been (still) off since the last
week.
The code change itself looks OK, but unlike the change (with almost
same changelog) in commit 8423f0b6d513, this won't hit a serious
problem like NULL dereference. The code path merely sets
runtime->oss.trigger and start_threshold flags, then issues the ioctl
outside the lock.
Unless you really hit a problem with a fuzzer, the changelog is
misleading and better to be rewritten.
thanks,
