is that double-unlock intentional? snd_seq_client_unlock() seems to call the same snd_use_lock_free for the same handle as on the previous line.
Yes, it's intentional. The trick is snd_seq_client_ioctl_lock() doesn't call snd_seq_client_unlock(), i.e. keeps refcount up. This is, in turn, released in snd_seq_client_ioctl_unlock(). snd_seq_client_ioctl_unlock() gets its refcount at use_ptr(), hence this releases twice. Maybe it's worth for more comments.
thanks,
Takashi
