Takashi Iwai d15d662e89 ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations
ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking
snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is
empty.  Meanwhile user can reset the pool size manually via ioctl
concurrently, and this may lead to UAF or out-of-bound accesses since
the function tries to vmalloc / vfree the buffer.

A simple fix is to just wrap the snd_seq_pool_init() call with the
recently introduced client->ioctl_mutex; as the calls for
snd_seq_pool_init() from other side are always protected with this
mutex, we can avoid the race.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
