ALSA: timer: Fix negative queue usage by racy accesses The user timer tu->qused counter may go to a negative value when multiple concurrent reads are performed since both the check and the decrement of tu->qused are done in two individual locked contexts. This results in bogus read outs, and the endless loop in the user-space side. The fix is to move the decrement of the tu->qused counter into the same spinlock context as the zero-check of the counter. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
