4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit 4dff5c7b7093b19c19d3a100f8a3ad87cb7cd9e7 upstream.
snd_timer_user_read() has a potential race among parallel reads, as
qhead and qused are updated outside the critical section due to
copy_to_user() calls. Move them into the critical section, and also
sanitize the relevant code a bit.
