This seems to be a bad side-effect by the code change along with the offloading the virmidi work.
I'm going to queue the fix below.
thanks,

-- 8< -- From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: seq: virmidi: Fix discarding the unsubscribed output
The recent change to move the virmidi output processing to a work slightly modified the code to discard the unsubscribed outputs so that it works without a temporary buffer. However, this is actually buggy, and may spew a kernel warning due to the unexpected call of snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack(), as triggered by syzbot.
This patch takes back to the original code in that part, use a temporary buffer and simply repeat snd_rawmidi_transmit(), in order to address the regression.
