Takashi Iwai 6d988149e1 ALSA: seq: Avoid module auto-load handling at event delivery 
commit c9ce148ea7 upstream.

snd_seq_client_use_ptr() is supposed to return the snd_seq_client
object for the given client ID, and it tries to handle the module
auto-loading when no matching object is found.  Although the module
handling is performed only conditionally with "!in_interrupt()", this
condition may be fragile, e.g. when the code is called from the ALSA
timer callback where the spinlock is temporarily disabled while the
irq is disabled.  Then his doesn't fit well and spews the error about
sleep from invalid context, as complained recently by syzbot.

Also, in general, handling the module-loading at each time if no
matching object is found is really an overkill.  It can be still
useful when performed at the top-level ioctl or proc reads, but it
shouldn't be done at event delivery at all.

For addressing the issues above, this patch disables the module
handling in snd_seq_client_use_ptr() in normal cases like event
deliveries, but allow only in limited and safe situations.
A new function client_load_and_use_ptr() is used for the cases where
the module loading can be done safely, instead.

README 

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.
