commit8146cd333dupstream. In snd_fasync_work_fn(), which is the offload work for traversing and processing the pending fasync list, the call of kill_fasync() is done outside the snd_fasync_lock for avoiding deadlocks. The problem is that its the references of fasync->on, fasync->signal and fasync->poll are done there also outside the lock. Since these may be modified by snd_kill_fasync() call concurrently from other process, inconsistent values might be passed to kill_fasync(). Although there shouldn't be critical UAF, it's still better to be addressed. This patch moves the kill_fasync() argument evaluations inside the snd_fasync_lock for avoiding the data races above. The handling in fasync->on flag is optimized in the loop to skip directly. Also, for more clarity, snd_fasync_free() takes the lock and unlink the pending entry more directly instead of clearing fasync->on flag.

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 Restructured Text 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.
