Subject[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 12/92] ALSA: emux: Fix mutex deadlock at unloading
Date
3.19.8-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 07b0e5d49d227e3950cb13a3e8caf248ef2a310e upstream.

The emux-synth driver has a possible AB/BA mutex deadlock at unloading
the emu10k1 driver:

snd_emux_free() ->
snd_emux_detach_seq(): mutex_lock(&emu->register_mutex) ->
snd_seq_delete_kernel_client() ->
snd_seq_free_client(): mutex_lock(&register_mutex)

snd_seq_release() ->
snd_seq_free_client(): mutex_lock(&register_mutex) ->
snd_seq_delete_all_ports() ->
snd_emux_unuse(): mutex_lock(&emu->register_mutex)

Basically snd_emux_detach_seq() doesn't need a protection of
emu->register_mutex as it's already being unregistered. So, we can
get rid of this for avoiding the deadlock.
