ALSA: seq: 2nd attempt at fixing race creating a queue
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. " Even with that fix in place, syzkaller reported a use-after-free error. It specifically pointed to the last instruction "return q->queue" in snd_seq_queue_alloc(). The pointer q is being used after kfree() has been called on it. It turned out that there is still a small window where a race can happen. The window opens at snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue()->snd_seq_queue_alloc()->queue_list_add() and closes at snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue()->queueptr()->snd_use_lock_use(). Between these two calls, a different thread could delete the queue and possibly re-create a different queue in the same location in queue_list. This change prevents this situation by calling snd_use_lock_use() from snd_seq_queue_alloc() prior to calling queue_list_add(). It is then the caller's responsibility to call snd_use_lock_free(&q->use_lock).
