Subject: [PATCH 4.4 19/20] ALSA: seq: Dont handle loop timeout at snd_seq_pool_done()
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 05:05:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170213130404.370495606@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170213130403.531813333@linuxfoundation.org>

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 37a7ea4a9b81f6a864c10a7cb0b96458df5310a3 upstream.

snd_seq_pool_done() syncs with closing of all opened threads, but it
aborts the wait loop with a timeout, and proceeds to the release
resource even if not all threads have been closed.  The timeout was 5
seconds, and if you run a crazy stuff, it can exceed easily, and may
result in the access of the invalid memory address -- this is what
syzkaller detected in a bug report.

As a fix, let the code graduate from naiveness, simply remove the loop
timeout.
