queue_use() is defined to return void. I am assuming you're referring
to queueptr().
Where do you acquire the snd_use_lock i.e. where do you call
snd_use_lock_use()? My understanding is that it's called from
queueptr(). With that said, there is a tiny gap between the new queue
being added to the list in queue_list_add() (from
snd_seq_queue_alloc()) and the call to queueptr() in
snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue(). syzkaller specifically points to the
last instruction "return q->queue;" in snd_seq_queue_alloc(). This is
*after* q has been added to the list (and is therefore visible to
other threads) but *before* it has been locked through
snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue()->queueptr()->snd_use_lock_use(). Hence,
there is a possibility that the pointer q is no longer valid.
You could capture the return value from queue_list_add() which is
identical to q->queue and then return that. However, the other issue
is that queueptr() indeed returns NULL if the queue with that index
has been deleted, but it's theoretically possible that the queue has
been deleted and a *different* been created that now occupies the same
spot in the queue_list.

syzkaller reported a crash:
