[PATCH] ALSA: fireface: fix locking bug in ff400_copy_msg_to_user()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The ff400_copy_msg_to_user() function drops the spin lock to call
copy_to_user().  However, if the copy_to_user() fails, then it must
take the lock again before returning.  Failure to take the lock leads
to a double unlock in the caller, hwdep_read().
