Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: jack: Fix mutex call in snd_jack_report()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

snd_jack_report() is supposed to be callable from an IRQ context, too,
and it's indeed used in that way from virtsnd driver.  The fix for
input_dev race in commit 1b6a6fc5280e ("ALSA: jack: Access input_dev
under mutex"), however, introduced a mutex lock in snd_jack_report(),
and this resulted in a potential sleep-in-atomic.

For addressing that problem, this patch changes the relevant code to
use the object get/put and removes the mutex usage.  That is,
snd_jack_report(), it takes input_get_device() and leaves with
input_put_device() for assuring the input_dev being assigned.

Although the whole mutex could be reduced, we keep it because it can
be still a protection for potential races between creation and
deletion.
