Currently the call of kill_fasync() from an interrupt handler might lead to potential spin deadlocks, as spotted by syzkaller. Unfortunately, it's not so trivial to fix this lock chain as it's involved with the tasklist_lock that is touched in allover places. As a temporary workaround, this patch provides the way to defer the async signal notification in a work. The new helper functions, snd_fasync_helper() and snd_kill_faync() are replacements for fasync_helper() and kill_fasync(), respectively. In addition, snd_fasync_free() needs to be called at the destructor of the relevant file object.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
