[PATCH 4.3 058/157] ALSA: timer: Fix double unlink of active_list

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jan 27 2016 - 13:57:25 EST


4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit ee8413b01045c74340aa13ad5bdf905de32be736 upstream.

ALSA timer instance object has a couple of linked lists and they are
unlinked unconditionally at snd_timer_stop(). Meanwhile
snd_timer_interrupt() unlinks it, but it calls list_del() which leaves
the element list itself unchanged. This ends up with unlinking twice,
and it was caught by syzkaller fuzzer.

The fix is to use list_del_init() variant properly there, too.
