commit 4842e98f26dd80be3623c4714a244ba52ea096a8 ("ALSA: seq: Fix race at creating a queue") attempted to fix a race reported by syzkaller. That fix has been described as follows:
" When a sequencer queue is created in snd_seq_queue_alloc(),it adds the new queue element to the public list before referencing it. Thus the queue might be deleted before the call of snd_seq_queue_use(), and it results in the use-after-free error, as spotted by syzkaller.
The fix is to reference the queue object at the right time. "
The last phrase in that commit message refers to calling queue_use(q, client, 1) which increments queue->clients, but that does not prevent the DELETE_QUEUE ioctl() and queue_delete() from kfree()ing the queue. Hence, the commit is not effective at preventing the race.
This commit adds code to effectively prevent the removal of the queue by calling snd_use_lock_use().
