Subject[PATCH 4.14 33/61] ALSA: seq: Fix data-race at module auto-loading
Date
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit 3e7e04b747adea36f349715d9f0998eeebf15d72 upstream.

It's been reported that there is a possible data-race accessing to the
global card_requested[] array at ALSA sequencer core, which is used
for determining whether to call request_module() for the card or not.
This data race itself is almost harmless, as it might end up with one
extra request_module() call for the already loaded module at most.
But it's still better to fix.

This patch addresses the possible data race of card_requested[] and
client_requested[] arrays by replacing them with bitmask.
It's an atomic operation and can work without locks.
