Subject[PATCH -next] ALSA: timer: Fix use-after-free problem
Date
When the timer instance was add into ack_list but was not currently in
process, the user could stop it via snd_timer_stop1() without delete it
from the ack_list. Then the user could free the timer instance and when
it was actually processed UAF occurred.

This issue could be reproduced via testcase snd_timer01 in ltp - running
several instances of that testcase at the same time.

What I actually met was that the ack_list of the timer broken and the
kernel went into deadloop with irqoff. That could be detected by
hardlockup detector on board or when we run it on qemu, we could use gdb
to dump the ack_list when the console has no response.

To fix this issue, we introduce a new flag SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_ACKING to
indicate the state where the timer instance is in ack_list but not
currently processed and check against the new flag in snd_timer_stop1()
and delete it from ack_list if the flag is set.
