[PATCH 0/2] ALSA: fireworks/firewire-tascam: accessing to user space outside spinlock

[PATCH 0/2] ALSA: fireworks/firewire-tascam: accessing to user space outside spinlock

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi,

In ALSA fireworks driver and firewire-tascam driver, current implementation
for hwdep interface have issues for page fault handling. For example,
when using single core processor, after executing lock_page() in page fault
handler and call task scheduler, then the context never run again, because
any interrupts are disabled by these drivers and the context can't catch
waiting event. This patchset fixes the issues.

The issues were reported by Vaishali Thakkar, with a help of coccinelle.
Thanks a lot for his care to these minor drivers.

[PATCH 1/2] ALSA: fireworks: accessing to user space outside spinlock

[Takashi Sakamoto]

In hwdep interface of fireworks driver, accessing to user space is in a
critical section with disabled local interrupt. Depending on architecture,
accessing to user space can cause page fault exception. Then local
processor stores machine status and handles the synchronous event. A
handler corresponding to the event can call task scheduler to wait for
preparing pages. In a case of usage of single core processor, the state to
disable local interrupt is worse because it don't handle usual interrupts
from hardware.

This commit fixes this bug, performing the accessing outside spinlock.

Mm. I should have indicate actual data type of this union for desinated
initialization.

So as for firewire-tascam module. I'll post revised version of them.
Sorry for stable developers but please ignore this patchset...
