Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: seq: Correct unlock sequence at snd_seq_client_ioctl_unlock()
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 11:31:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190415093105.23965-1-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)

The doubly unlock sequence at snd_seq_client_ioctl_unlock() is tricky.
I took a direct unref call since I thought it would avoid
misunderstanding, but rather this seems more confusing.  Let's use
snd_seq_client_unlock() consistently even if they look strange to be
called twice, and add more comments for avoiding reader's confusion.

Fixes: 6b580f523172 ("ALSA: seq: Protect racy pool manipulation from OSS sequencer")
