[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/4] Yet another fixes for ALSA timer info leaks

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

this is a patchset to paper over a bug in ALSA timer core code about
the race between read and ioctl.  As a side-effect of the race, it may
allow to read some uninitialized kmalloced memory.  The first two
patches cover the issue, so marked as stable, while the rest two
patches are rather cleanups and more hardening. 

I'm going to queue the first to for-linus for 4.12-rc, and the latter
two to for-next, for 4.13.


thanks,

Takashi
