If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai commit ed8b1d6d2c741ab26d60d499d7fbb7ac801f0f51 upstream. A slave timer element also unlinks at snd_timer_stop() but it takes only slave_active_lock. When a slave is assigned to a master, however, this may become a race against the master's interrupt handling, eventually resulting in a list corruption. The actual bug could be seen with a syzkaller fuzzer test case in BugLink below. As a fix, we need to take timeri->timer->lock when timer isn't NULL, i.e. assigned to a master, while the assignment to a master itself is protected by slave_active_lock.
