+Subject: ALSA: timer: Fix race between read and ioctl
+
+From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
+
+commit d11662f4f798b50d8c8743f433842c3e40fe3378 upstream.
+
+The read from ALSA timer device, the function snd_timer_user_tread(),
+may access to an uninitialized struct snd_timer_user fields when the
+read is concurrently performed while the ioctl like
+snd_timer_user_tselect() is invoked. We have already fixed the races
+among ioctls via a mutex, but we seem to have forgotten the race
+between read vs ioctl.
+
+This patch simply applies (more exactly extends the already applied
+range of) tu->ioctl_lock in snd_timer_user_tread() for closing the
+race window.
