Arjan van de Ven 763437a9e7 ALSA: pcm - fix race condition in wait_for_avail()
wait_for_avail() in pcm_lib.c has a race in it (observed in practice by an
Intel validation group).

The function is supposed to return once space in the buffer has become
available, or if some timeout happens.  The entity that creates space (irq
handler of sound driver and some such) will do a wake up on a waitqueue
that this function registers for.

However there are two races in the existing code

1) If space became available between the caller noticing there was no
   space and this function actually sleeping, the wakeup is missed and the
   timeout condition will happen instead

2) If a wakeup happened but not sufficient space became available, the
   code will loop again and wait for more space.  However, if the second
   wake comes in prior to hitting the schedule_timeout_interruptible(), it
   will be missed, and potentially you'll wait out until the timeout
   happens.

The fix consists of using more careful setting of the current state (so
that if a wakeup happens in the main loop window, the schedule_timeout()
falls through) and by checking for available space prior to going into the
schedule_timeout() loop, but after being on the waitqueue and having the
state set to interruptible.

[tiwai: the following changes have been added to Arjan's original patch:
 - merged akpm's fix for waitqueue adding order into a single patch
 - reduction of duplicated code of avail check
