The recent bug report spotted on the old OSS sequencer code that tries
to combine incoming SysEx messages to a single sequencer event. This
is good, per se, but it has more demerits:
- The sysex message delivery is delayed until the very last event
- The use of internal buffer forced the serialization
The recent fix in commit 0179488ca9 ("ALSA: seq: oss: Fix races at
processing SysEx messages") addressed the latter, but a better fix is
to handle the sysex messages immediately, i.e. just send each incoming
fragmented sysex message as is. And this patch implements that.
This resulted in a significant cleanup as well.
Note that the only caller of snd_seq_oss_synth_sysex() is
snd_seq_oss_process_event(), and all its callers dispatch the event
immediately, so we can just put the passed buffer pointer to the event
record to be handled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
