4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 2d1b5c08366acd46c35a2e9aba5d650cb5bf5c19 upstream. The virmidi driver has an open race at closing its assigned rawmidi device, and this may lead to use-after-free in snd_seq_deliver_single_event(). Plug the hole by properly protecting the linked list deletion and calling in the right order in snd_virmidi_input_close().
