ALSA: rawmidi: Fix race at copying & updating the position The rawmidi read and write functions manage runtime stream status such as runtime->appl_ptr and runtime->avail. These point where to copy the new data and how many bytes have been copied (or to be read). The problem is that rawmidi read/write call copy_from_user() or copy_to_user(), and the runtime spinlock is temporarily unlocked and relocked while copying user-space. Since the current code advances and updates the runtime status after the spin unlock/relock, the copy and the update may be asynchronous, and eventually runtime->avail might go to a negative value when many concurrent accesses are done. This may lead to memory corruption in the end. For fixing this race, in this patch, the status update code is performed in the same lock before the temporary unlock. Also, the spinlock is now taken more widely in snd_rawmidi_kernel_read1() for protecting more properly during the whole operation.
