If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai commit dc82e52492f684dcd5ed9e4773e72dbf2203d75e upstream. The commit 289ca025ee1d ("ALSA: Use priority list for managing device list") changed the way to register/disconnect/free devices via a single priority list. This helped to make behavior consistent, but it also changed a slight behavior change: namely, the control device is registered earlier than others, while it was supposed to be the very last one. I've put SNDRV_DEV_CONTROL in the current position as the release of ctl elements often conflict with the private ctl elements some PCM or other components may create, which often leads to a double-free. But, the order of register and disconnect should be indeed fixed as expected in the early days: the control device gets registered at last, and disconnected at first. This patch changes the priority list order to move SNDRV_DEV_CONTROL as the last guy to assure the register / disconnect order. Meanwhile, for keeping the messy resource release order, manually treat the control and lowlevel devices as last freed one. Additional note: The lowlevel device is the device where a card driver creates at probe. And, we still keep the release order control -> lowlevel, as there might be link from a control element back to a lowlevel object.
