Takashi Iwai e7786c445b ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent prealloc proc writes
commit 69534c48ba8ce552ce383b3dfdb271ffe51820c3 upstream.

We have no protection against concurrent PCM buffer preallocation
changes via proc files, and it may potentially lead to UAF or some
weird problem.  This patch applies the PCM open_mutex to the proc
write operation for avoiding the racy proc writes and the PCM stream
open (and further operations).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
