OSS PCM stream management isn't modal but it allows ioctls issued at any time for changing the parameters. In the previous hardening patch ("ALSA: pcm: Avoid potential races between OSS ioctls and read/write"), we covered these races and prevent the corruption by protecting the concurrent accesses via params_lock mutex. However, this means that some ioctls that try to change the stream parameter (e.g. channels or format) would be blocked until the read/write finishes, and it may take really long. Basically changing the parameter while reading/writing is an invalid operation, hence it's even more user-friendly from the API POV if it returns -EBUSY in such a situation. This patch adds such checks in the relevant ioctls with the addition of read/write access refcount. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
