SubjectBug in es1968 driver
www.kerneloops.org has found a bug in the es1968 driver (as one of the more popular issues):

static unsigned short snd_es1968_ac97_read(struct snd_ac97 *ac97, unsigned short reg)
{
u16 data = 0;
struct es1968 *chip = ac97->private_data;
unsigned long flags;

snd_es1968_ac97_wait(chip);

spin_lock_irqsave(&chip->ac97_lock, flags);
outb(reg | 0x80, chip->io_port + ESM_AC97_INDEX);
/*msleep(1);*/

if (! snd_es1968_ac97_wait(chip)) {
data = inw(chip->io_port + ESM_AC97_DATA);
/*msleep(1);*/
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&chip->ac97_lock, flags);

return data;
}

in this file, snd_es1968_ac97_wait() is a sleeping function... which conveniently gets called
while the ac97_lock spinlock is held....

patch below (and attached in case thunderbird decides to pee all over it):


From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
Subject: [PATCH] Fix sleep-while-holding-lock bug in es1968

snd_es1968_ac97_read() calls snd_es1968_ac97_wait() first outside a locked area,
and later, while holding a lock.
snd_es1968_ac97_wait() has a polling loop with a cond_resched() inside it.. which
sleeps, so the second call is invalid.

This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls. While this
is not very elegant in principle, it's very likely the easiest thing to do here,
we already checked if the chip was ready (while yielding) just before, so it is
very unlikely to take a long time here.
