[ Note: this is a fix that works around the bug equivalently as the two upstream commits: 1fa4445f9adf ("ALSA: control - introduce snd_ctl_notify_one() helper") 56b88b50565c ("ALSA: pcm: Move rwsem lock inside snd_ctl_elem_read to prevent UAF") but in a simpler way to fit with older stable trees -- tiwai ]
