If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai commit a2ff19f7b70118ced291a28d5313469914de451b upstream. When releasing a client, we need to clear the clienttab[] entry at first, then call snd_seq_queue_client_leave(). Otherwise, the in-flight cell in the queue might be picked up by the timer interrupt via snd_seq_check_queue() before calling snd_seq_queue_client_leave(), and it's delivered to another queue while the client is clearing queues. This may eventually result in an uncleared cell remaining in a queue, and the later snd_seq_pool_delete() may need to wait for a long time until the event gets really processed. By moving the clienttab[] clearance at the beginning of release, any event delivery of a cell belonging to this client will fail at a later point, since snd_seq_client_ptr() returns NULL. Thus the cell that was picked up by the timer interrupt will be returned immediately without further delivery, and the long stall of snd_seq_delete_pool() can be avoided, too.
