In snd_seq_midisynth_remove(), there is a possible double-lock bug: snd_seq_midisynth_remove() mutex_lock(®ister_mutex); -- line 421 snd_seq_delete_kernel_client() --- line 436 seq_free_client() -- line 2244 mutex_lock(®ister_mutex); -- line 294
This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
I do not know how to correctly fix this bug, so I only report it. A possible fix is to release the mutex lock before calling seq_free_client() in snd_seq_delete_kernel_client() and then acquiring the lock again after calling seq_free_client().
Best wishes, Jia-Ju Bai
