[044/103] OSS: soundcard: locking bug in sound_ioctl()

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Oct 22 2010 - 15:10:03 EST


2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx>

commit d4cfa4d12f46e2520f4c1d1a92e891ce068b7464 upstream.

We shouldn't return directly here because we're still holding the
&soundcard_mutex.

This bug goes all the way back to the start of git. It's strange that
no one has complained about it as a runtime bug.
