[PATCH 3.4 053/177] ALSA: emu10k1: Fix deadlock in synth voice lookup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

3.4.106-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 95926035b187cc9fee6fb61385b7da9c28123f74 upstream.

The emu10k1 voice allocator takes voice_lock spinlock.  When there is
no empty stream available, it tries to release a voice used by synth,
and calls get_synth_voice.  The callback function,
snd_emu10k1_synth_get_voice(), however, also takes the voice_lock,
thus it deadlocks.

The fix is simply removing the voice_lock holds in
snd_emu10k1_synth_get_voice(), as this is always called in the
spinlock context.
