<id>urn:sha1:2dac108b9dd7fa08450750dec10ba5db429c8817</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c7a60651953359f98dbf24b43e1bf561e1573ed4 upstream.

As reported recently, ALSA core info helper may cause a deadlock at
the forced device disconnection during the procfs operation.

The proc_remove() (that is called from the snd_card_disconnect()
helper) has a synchronization of the pending procfs accesses via
wait_for_completion().  Meanwhile, ALSA procfs helper takes the global
mutex_lock(&amp;info_mutex) at both the proc_open callback and
snd_card_info_disconnect() helper.  Since the proc_open can't finish
due to the mutex lock, wait_for_completion() never returns, either,
hence it deadlocks.

	TASK#1				TASK#2
	proc_reg_open()
	  takes use_pde()
	snd_info_text_entry_open()
					snd_card_disconnect()
					snd_info_card_disconnect()
					  takes mutex_lock(&amp;info_mutex)
					proc_remove()
					wait_for_completion(unused_pde)
					  ... waiting task#1 closes
	mutex_lock(&amp;info_mutex)
		=&gt; DEADLOCK

This patch is a workaround for avoiding the deadlock scenario above.

The basic strategy is to move proc_remove() call outside the mutex
lock.  proc_remove() can work gracefully without extra locking, and it
can delete the tree recursively alone.  So, we call proc_remove() at
snd_info_card_disconnection() at first, then delete the rest resources
recursively within the info_mutex lock.

After the change, the function snd_info_disconnect() doesn't do
disconnection by itself any longer, but it merely clears the procfs
pointer.  So rename the function to snd_info_clear_entries() for
avoiding confusion.

The similar change is applied to snd_info_free_entry(), too.  Since
the proc_remove() is called only conditionally with the non-NULL
entry-&gt;p, it's skipped after the snd_info_clear_entries() call.

<title>ALSA: info: Fix llseek return value when using callback</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9be080edcca330be4af06b19916c35227891e8bc</id>
<content type='text'>
When using callback there was a flow of

	ret = -EINVAL
	if (callback) {
		offset = callback();
		goto out;
	}
	...
	offset = some other value in case of no callback;
	ret = offset;
out:
	return ret;

which causes the snd_info_entry_llseek() to return -EINVAL when there is
callback handler. Fix this by setting "ret" directly to callback return
value before jumping to "out".

Each kernel doc comment expects the definition of the return value in

remaining ALSA core API functions.

<title>ALSA: info: Drop WARN_ON() from buffer NULL sanity check</title>

<id>urn:sha1:60379ba08532eca861e933b389526a4dc89e0c42</id>
<content type='text'>
snd_info_get_line() has a sanity check of NULL buffer -- both buffer
itself being NULL and buffer-&gt;buffer being NULL.  Basically both
checks are valid and necessary, but the problem is that it's with
snd_BUG_ON() macro that triggers WARN_ON().  The latter condition
(NULL buffer-&gt;buffer) can be met arbitrarily by user since the buffer
is allocated at the first write, so it means that user can trigger
WARN_ON() at will.

This patch addresses it by simply moving buffer-&gt;buffer NULL check out
of snd_BUG_ON() so that spurious WARNING is no longer triggered.

Variable c is being assigned with the value -1 that is never read,
it is assigned a new value in a following while-loop. The assignment
is redundant and can be removed.

The most notable change is DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE macro split in
seq_file.h.

Conversion rule is:

	llseek		=&gt; proc_lseek
	unlocked_ioctl	=&gt; proc_ioctl

	xxx		=&gt; proc_xxx

	delete ".owner = THIS_MODULE" line
