4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit b248371628aad599a48540962f6b85a21a8a0c3f upstream.
There are potential deadlocks in PCM OSS emulation code while
accessing read/write and mmap concurrently. This comes from the
infamous mmap_sem usage in copy_from/to_user(). Namely,
snd_pcm_oss_write() ->
&runtime->oss.params_lock ->
copy_to_user() ->
&mm->mmap_sem
mmap() ->
&mm->mmap_sem ->
snd_pcm_oss_mmap() ->
&runtime->oss.params_lock
Since we can't avoid taking params_lock from mmap code path, use
trylock variant and aborts with -EAGAIN as a workaround of this AB/BA
deadlock.
