Most of open functions in alsa-lib have the call pattern: snd_config_update(); return snd_xxx_open(x, snd_config, ...); This means that the toplevel config gets updated, and passed to a local open function. Although snd_config_update() itself has a pthread mutex to be thread safe, the whole procedure above isn't thread safe. Namely, the global snd_config tree may be deleted and recreated at any time while the open function is being processed. This may lead to a data corruption and crash of the program. For avoiding the corruption, this patch introduces a refcount to config tree object. A few new helper functions are introduced as well: - snd_config_update_ref() does update and take the refcount of the toplevel tree. The obtained config tree has to be freed via snd_config_unref() below. - snd_config_ref() and snd_config_unref() manage the refcount of the config object. The latter eventually deletes the object when all references are gone. Along with these additions, the caller of snd_config_update() and snd_config global tree in alsa-lib are replaced with the new helpers. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> |
