H A Dtimer.c094fd3be Thu Feb 04 10:06:13 CST 2016 Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> ALSA: timer: Fix leftover link at closing

In ALSA timer core, the active timer instance is managed in
active_list linked list. Each element is added / removed dynamically
at timer start, stop and in timer interrupt. The problem is that
snd_timer_interrupt() has a thinko and leaves the element in
active_list when it's the last opened element. This eventually leads
to list corruption or use-after-free error.

This hasn't been revealed because we used to delete the list forcibly
in snd_timer_stop() in the past. However, the recent fix avoids the
double-stop behavior (in commit [f784beb75ce8: ALSA: timer: Fix link
corruption due to double start or stop]), and this leak hits reality.

This patch fixes the link management in snd_timer_interrupt(). Now it
simply unlinks no matter which stream is.
