[PATCH 3.12 044/113] ALSA: seq: Fix race at creating a queue

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

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

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

commit 4842e98f26dd80be3623c4714a244ba52ea096a8 upstream.

When a sequencer queue is created in snd_seq_queue_alloc(),it adds the
new queue element to the public list before referencing it.  Thus the
queue might be deleted before the call of snd_seq_queue_use(), and it
results in the use-after-free error, as spotted by syzkaller.

The fix is to reference the queue object at the right time.
