From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 13d5e5d4725c64ec06040d636832e78453f477b7 upstream. The commit [7f0973e973cd: ALSA: seq: Fix lockdep warnings due to double mutex locks] split the management of two linked lists (source and destination) into two individual calls for avoiding the AB/BA deadlock. However, this may leave the possible double deletion of one of two lists when the counterpart is being deleted concurrently. It ends up with a list corruption, as revealed by syzkaller fuzzer. This patch fixes it by checking the list emptiness and skipping the deletion and the following process.
