3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit a2ff19f7b70118ced291a28d5313469914de451b upstream.
When releasing a client, we need to clear the clienttab[] entry at
first, then call snd_seq_queue_client_leave(). Otherwise, the
in-flight cell in the queue might be picked up by the timer interrupt
via snd_seq_check_queue() before calling snd_seq_queue_client_leave(),
and it's delivered to another queue while the client is clearing
queues. This may eventually result in an uncleared cell remaining in
a queue, and the later snd_seq_pool_delete() may need to wait for a
long time until the event gets really processed.
By moving the clienttab[] clearance at the beginning of release, any
event delivery of a cell belonging to this client will fail at a later
point, since snd_seq_client_ptr() returns NULL. Thus the cell that
was picked up by the timer interrupt will be returned immediately
without further delivery, and the long stall of snd_seq_delete_pool()
can be avoided, too.
