ALSA: seq: Fix race at closing in virmidi driver
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The virmidi driver has an open race at closing its assigned rawmidi
device, and this may lead to use-after-free in
snd_seq_deliver_single_event().

Plug the hole by properly protecting the linked list deletion and
calling in the right order in snd_virmidi_input_close().
