Tonello" <eu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 20:21:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] usb: gadget: f_midi: added spinlock on transmit function Since f_midi_transmit is called by both ALSA and USB sub-systems, it can potentially cause a race condition between both calls because f_midi_transmit is not reentrant nor thread-safe. This is due to an implementation detail that the transmit function looks for the next available usb request from the fifo and only enqueues it if there is data to send, otherwise just re-uses it. So, if both ALSA and USB frameworks calls this function at the same time, kfifo_seek() will return the same usb_request, which will cause a race condition. To solve this problem a syncronization mechanism is necessary. In this case it is used a spinlock since f_midi_transmit is also called by usb_request->complete callback in interrupt context.
