[003/105] ALSA: Fix yet another race in disconnection

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Apr 12 2011 - 11:01:23 EST


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

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit a45e3d6b13e97506b616980c0f122c3389bcefa4 upstream.

This patch fixes a race between snd_card_file_remove() and
snd_card_disconnect(). When the card is added to shutdown_files list
in snd_card_disconnect(), but it's freed in snd_card_file_remove() at
the same time, the shutdown_files list gets corrupted. The list member
must be freed in snd_card_file_remove() as well.
