[PATCH 3.12 045/113] ALSA: seq: Don't handle loop timeout at snd_seq_pool_done()

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit 37a7ea4a9b81f6a864c10a7cb0b96458df5310a3 upstream.

snd_seq_pool_done() syncs with closing of all opened threads, but it
aborts the wait loop with a timeout, and proceeds to the release
resource even if not all threads have been closed.  The timeout was 5
seconds, and if you run a crazy stuff, it can exceed easily, and may
result in the access of the invalid memory address -- this is what
syzkaller detected in a bug report.

As a fix, let the code graduate from naiveness, simply remove the loop
timeout.
