Takashi Iwai f70650083b ALSA: seq: oss: Avoid mutex lock for a long-time ioctl
[ Upstream commit 2759caad2600d503c3b0ed800e7e03d2cd7a4c05 ]

Recently we applied a fix to cover the whole OSS sequencer ioctls with
the mutex for dealing with the possible races.  This works fine in
general, but in theory, this may lead to unexpectedly long stall if an
ioctl like SNDCTL_SEQ_SYNC is issued and an event with the far future
timestamp was queued.

For fixing such a potential stall, this patch changes the mutex lock
applied conditionally excluding such an ioctl command.  Also, change
the mutex_lock() with the interruptible version for user to allow
escaping from the big-hammer mutex.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
