[PATCH 3/3] ALSA: seq: oss: Use scoped cleanup for temporary MIDI use lock
From: Cássio Gabriel
Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 00:49:50 EST
The OSS sequencer write and out-of-band paths may receive a temporary
snd_use_lock_t reference from snd_seq_oss_process_event(). This was added
to keep MIDI device data alive until events with embedded SysEx data are
dispatched.
Use a scoped cleanup helper for that temporary reference. This keeps the
lifetime rule local to the variable declaration and avoids future missing
snd_use_lock_free() paths if these event handling paths gain more exits.
No functional change is intended.
