Subject: [patch 1/2] OSS: soundcard: locking bug in sound_ioctl()
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 17:33:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101010173352.GB5851@bicker> (raw)

We shouldn't return directly here because we're still holding the
&soundcard_mutex.

This bug goes all the way back to the start of git.  It's strange that
no one has complained about it as a runtime bug.
